  1. TnCarper don't spread it around, but to get an extra 20' - 25' just get a bottle of White-Out correction fluid and a very fine brush and paint a tiny DF on your rod down where the test curve is.
  2. What B.C. said. I found that every time I tweaked my gear, (filling the spool almost to the rim, wetting the spool of line before casting, switching from #15 to #12) I gained a little distance and using a 3oz lead could usually hit my spot at around 100 yds. Buying a 3 lb rod or 2 didn't really buy me any more distance (neither did a 13' rod), but my casting with bags or stringers is so pitiful I wanted to try them anyway.
  3. That B-100 Grub is a ringer for my go-to carp hook: Tiemco 2457 large pupa hook in #6.
  4. Welcome to the forum, big lakes grow big carp.
  5. Bucleugh was the man who bred Labrador Retrievers from hunting dogs he purchased (at Poole, mostly) from fishermen returning from Canada. Without his vision and perseverance they wouldn't exist today. ps: those are some nice browns Levi
  6. I wonder if they command a better price in the UK or North America, I have a couple of big zip-locks full.
  7. I was watching this and thought of Newmarket, has he been around?
  8. A couple of overhand knots in a blade of grass works well.
  9. I gave him lots of praise, and buried the spoils at sea. Usually I have to finish them off for him, so this is progress.
  10. Crummy picture but you get the idea. He got another one this morning, the little hero.
  11. You don't have to download it, just watch - it's free like Youtube. Can't see why The NFB would dis-allow a documentary in the UK..... I know some videos are like that but this one should just play.
  12. You might get a laugh out of this, let's see if the link works.. It's about where it comes from. https://www.nfb.ca/film/fiddlers_of_james_bay/
  13. A little Metis lullabye for CM. Calvin played our club lots, and was a national champion several times. Ha ha, recorded at the Elks Lodge, perfect!
  14. i assumed it was so when the carp goes to suck up the bait it flies in easily, and I suppose on ejection, either through normal filtering of detritus or because of detection of resistance, line stiffness doesn't effect the outcome.
  15. Except for D.A.M. Quick all the major manufacturers have made inferior quality reels for the cheap market; I've never seen a bad Quick reel. I have Shimano xte-a 10000 and rate them excellent. Since they're discontinued you have to sniff them out second-hand.
  16. There's a few of us dog lovers on here.
  17. A Tommy the Tenderfoot illustration in Baden Powell's original Scouting For Boys: Plenty of blankets below, he was told But Tommy knew better, and so he got cold.
  18. If it gets frantic tip the rods next door butts-up and rod tips in the water on the bottom and play the fish over them. We have a 1 rod rule where I am but occasionally banksticks are within a length of each other, and pods are helpfull sometimes, and in either case ditching the adjacent rods usually averts trouble. The nights when it was sorting out tangles time after time between all these mad fish are what I call the good old days now.
  19. Lately at work (where I am now) I set up my little computer and a set of speakers and stream radio from up north, Missinipi Broadcasting Company. The playlist can go anywhere, and they feature reporting in Cree, Dene, and Michif as well as English. http://cjlr.streamon.fm/
  20. https://youtu.be/OEx-GMDQxjw These guys are playing our bar on Wednesday - I won't go but it looks like fun. I have to be prepared in case it's a bear to clean up the next day.
