  Just wondering, anyone get into any carp yet?  Went out last weekend but skunked, maybe the weather is a little cold still. 

[BwiBwi]

Fished it on past Sat. skunked.  Still need a couple weeks of warm weather.

 Thanks for the reply, BwiBwi can't wait for a warming front to wake them fishys up.

I am going to try out Macdonald park (Abbotsford). Is this any good for carp and what bait do you recommend? Are there any other places for carp around Abby or Chilliwack? Cheers.

While were at it what about in the mission area (Hatzic??) for Carp? I'm interested in trying to hook a few on the fly, would it a alright to use a 4wt? what type of leader length and # would you use, I herd they spook easily.

Talk to Gerry owner of River Side Tackle in Port Coq. He know more about the Bass & Carp in Hatzic than anyone I know. If you want the real good, not just allot of noise, he is the one you want to talk to.

Yeah, hes got a pimp pad out there too.

There's an interesting article on fishing for carps in the Lower Mainland in this month's BC Outdoors.

Just wondering what sloughs you were fishing in ladner for carp. I grew up there and fished every slough. Used to catch 80-100 fish every summer between grades. Lots of catfish and carp. Bread balls and peanutbutter dough always worked for us. The slough by #17 highway was great fishing. Let me know. Thanks, Mike

[Will_CARP]

  I usually fish the slough by the bottle depot.  I don't really know locations and access points of the other sloughs thou, would like to explore soon.  BTW whats the biggest carp anyones caught? I usually encounter them up to four pounds but i've seen some bigger.

[yamadirt 426]

i think 26" was my biggest ,dont have a clue how much it weighed. When you come into ladner and take a right at the 711, head to the very end. There is a good spot there. Also one block west of that is where i spent most of my summers. So before you get to the dead end take a right than a left and hit that dead end. good luck

[Will_CARP]

 Hey thanks for the info yamadirt, you seem to be an expert on them slough monsters   Do you still fish it?  If you see me there stop by and say hi, i'll be the guy staring at his float.

speaking of carp, there are some good sloughs on the way to pitt lake that hold carp in them, Ive caught a couple with my gramps (hes quite the carpman) he says carp fishing is best from april til late may and in the fall from october.. I'll head out for carp sometime soon
