Quinte Fishing

A buddy from work took me carp fishing on the Trent today . What a blast ! My arm was sore by 9:00am . I used my light action spinning outfit . The first fish i caught (10 min after we got there) was 15 pounds . What a fight ! 20 mins to get the bad boy on shore using light tackel . Fun,fun fun . We got 12 all together . Smallest was 10 pounds . Largest was 17 pounds . He tells me 30+ is common . I think i'm hooked . Anybody Know any hot spots on the BoQ for carp. I'm sure i will be back out in the near future .

The Bath power plant always has decent numbers and some very large carp.

Try down off Swicks on the old bridge causeway....always lots on the west side

was fishing near the dam in frankford a month ago, I saw one that made me yell out "submarine!!!" 4' long and over 1' wide. I haven't seen one like that since I lived in hamilton.

What technique do you use to catch carp and wich bait?

I've never actually caught a carp, but my wife has, she got a 3' carp on a small titanium hook (from a british carp fishing company) and nothing but a can of corn. alot of carp enthusiests make their own doughballs, but it's hit or miss with that, and sometimes it takes a while to come up with a good recipe, try making some with kool aid in it, heard it works well.

I always used doughballs as a kid. My grandmother would actually make it like a thick doughish batter. It could be tough to cast with, but was effective. The trickiest part was ensuring that one was quiet when sitting or approaching.
