Some of you may remember me I posted a bit last year. Last summer I really learned alot and have a good grasp on the grand river smallies in brantford
But with all the different kind of species in the grand and bass season still a whiles away I figure to learn how to catch some big cats and carp.
I dont really know what im doing in regards to these species.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Target them?? LOL!! Just bottom bounce a worm...you will end up with either cats or carp...if it's Carp...hang on!! Some of the bigger ones CAN spool you! I started targeting them last year and had to buy a new rig because I almost got spooled by a fish I never saw! Landed some last year and they all took me about 20 minutes plus to land because of how they fight. That was with an 8-1/2 foot rod and 40lb braid...you have to give them some drag though or you WILL straighten hooks...lol...ask me how I know! Good luck! They are a lot of fun!
Oh...and yes...Carp can be VERY acrobatic!!

As for cats, u can check out Port Burwell on Lake Erie. have a big run every year around may/june. If u want to take the drive. Its worth it. beautiful place

Well got out yesterday for the first time . The river was packed with people. Threw a worm on with a slip bobber and began to chill and sip my whiskey...next thing I know my rods skipping across the ground haha. I set the hook and the fight was on. Took me over 45 mins to bring this beast in . Took a pic put it on the scale. Says it was 10 1/2 pds. Only fish I caught that day but darn what a fight!!
