CCMoore Meteor on St Lawrence river



                                                  CCMoore- Meteor boiles - they will like it ?
Fishing with boilies in a new area of the St Lawrence river is a big challenge ,most of the times ,the anglers in the area, are using birdfood base , fruits flavor boilies with same good results . I decide to give a try to CCMoore -Meteor boilies ,in Europe this bait have a solid reputation ,with a lot of very big fish been caught . The big question was ,this bait will bring in the big uns ,or with the meaty ,spicy flavor ,catfish will clean them .
I chose a area where I now that catfish is present in small numbers ,with the hope they will stay away .For two weeks I bait two spots ,in the beginning with a mix of partiblend and half Meteor boilies ,and in the end just with Meteor boilies .
Time come to see the results of my baiting campaign ,having a morning free ,I pick up one of my friends ,and went for the spot .We put out a half kilo 15 mm. Meteor ,set up two rods ,one of them with a snowman 10 mm.pop up and 15 mm. bottom Meteor ,second with a CCMoore Secret Obssesion pop up .
We decide to fish just a few hours ,from 5,30 to 11 AM . The first hour go ,with no runs ,a few fish show up ,but in area 2-300 m. from where our baits are. Soon after ,the rod with the Secret Obssesion pop up go away ,and at list we have a run .10 min. of battle and a 18 pd-er see my net ,release fast , re bait the rod ,and back it went .Not long after this ,the left rod ,the one with Meteor ,go away ,a nice 22 pd. come to sey hello .We change right away the rod with Secret Obssesion to Meteor snowman ,next four hours see 12 runs ,with fish from 18 to 26 pd . Excellent result with a new bait ,in a new spot .What make me really happy ,no catfish come to our baits . CCMoore Meteor is a rapid results bait ,and I can-t wait till next weekend for another try .

CCMoore -Meteor ,Northern Specials ,Secret Obssesion





                                                            New baits- old dreams
Starting the 2013 season was a constant wait for something ,from baits to decent weather ,to free time from work and family obligation .Finally the shipment from CCMoore arrive ,the weather make a turn to normality ,and at work I have two weeks with an easy schedule .
Make same preparation for a 36 hours of testing new baits CCMoore -Meteor and the all ready famous range of pop ups -Secret Obsession and Northern Specials .Hit the rod Monday morning ,direction Long Sault on the majestic St.Lawrence river .The area that I want to fish is in a very big bay ,looks more like a big lake , 1,8 to 2,2 m the depth ,patches of weeds and sandy bottom .After a 30-40 min. of feature finding with the marker ,I settle for two areas ,one in 2m. of water ,close to a weed bed and same snags ,70 m distance ,second, close in 40 m , in 1,8 m depth on a small plateau .Start baiting the two areas with a mix of boilies Meteor and a mix of pellets -Meteor ,hemp ,csl .On the plateau i put a pop up rig with a Secret Obsession ,and at long range a snowman -Meteor topped with Northern Specials . Pour a coffee and start the waiting game .The water is still cold for this time of year ,just 14 C. ,and no singht of movement .I new that on this bay , the fish will start showing just after noon .By 14 PM. come the first take ,on the long range rod ,a nice 14 pd-er common . Till the night had 5 more takes with fish 15 to 22 pd ,most on the long range rod .By 11,30 I take the rods out ,and went for a few hours of sleep .4 o-clock in the morning ,the rods in, and a few spombs of baits out went . Till noon I had 8 more takes ,the biggest 32 pd-er ,plus a bonus of a 15 pd. mirror .For St.Lawrence is very rare to catch mirrors ,last year in the all season I had just one . The big fish come on the close in rod CCMoore -Secret Obsession pop up .Very good session ,looking forward for the next one .

CCMoore is more, must be change to, CCMoore is more and fast





                                     
Well , things happening when you do not expect them .I went today in the morning to map a new area that I want to fish in mid summer .Is a deep 4,5 to 5 m channel with big fish in ,but a bit difficult ,from June on is full of weeds . I have a new sonar that help finding the spots ,and in the 2-3 hours of mapping the area ,I put in a rod with a live system pop up and a small bag of pellets . In the next 30-40 min. the mapping goes very well ,the sonar gives me 3 very interesting spots ,two plateau of 3,7 m in a 5 m deep ,and a hole of 5,6 m . I did not pay to much attention on the rod ,deep water ,and cold 12 C. ,did not give me hope for a run. But the unexpected happen ,a fast run put me in a battle with a carp After a few minutes slip the net on a beautiful 16 pd-er .Look like the live system boilies and pellets did a very good job .I stay for 40 minute more, to finish the map ,in this time had one more run with a 14 pd-er .What is funny , the sonar show just 3-4 fish in this area ,and 2 of them come to the live system boilies .I can-t wait till next weekend to have a proper session with big expectations from live system .So CCMoore , for me is fast and more .

Carp fishing conference -Montreal 2013



    The two big carp fishing associations in Montreal,Carp Quebec and Les Pecheures urbaine ,come together and organize the first fishing conference for 2013 .
We have a good response ,18 anglers show up for 3 hours of information and technique in carp fishing .
Many thanks to Carp Kit and CCMoore for the courtesies of sending same bait samples .
We start with basic information on types of carp ,where they live ,what they eat .Then move on to localisation in specific areas ,mostly on rivers ,this is the most common areas we fish .
From this we go to tackle ,simple rigs ,set ups with different leads ,mono ,lead core . Basic information on different rods and reels ,with presentation of different models .
Then we move on baits ,and show different types of boilies mixes ,method mix , pellets ,boilies ,particles ,plastic baits .
On the end we answer questions from all the participants .
The interest for carp fishing is growing very good ,with a lot of new anglers coming to the sport .Our big problem is a lack of tackle and bait in Montreal area ,the single way of buing this, is by ordering on line from Carp Kit ,or USA and UK based shops .
With the big numbers of carp anglers on our area , is hope for a tackle shop with good bait and tackle .
With the big interest show after the first conference ,we decide to do a second one ,in a bigger location ,where we can accommodate 40 to 50 persons .



On the second conference we will go deeper on types of bait ,baiting techniques ,watercraft and tackle .

Photography is not just to keep same moments ,but to to put live in a perspective of good and bad feelings .Just same really good moments of 2012 .

 








        



       
Like all the good things ,the fishing season is coming to a end .The weather start to change from bad to worst ,temperatures go from plus 3-4 to minus 5-6 ,strong winds ,and same snow .So is time for the last session of 2012 . By mid week I put in a bucket same rolled oats and sweet corn ,on top of this emptied a bottle of liquid bloodworm from CCMOORE ,give them a mix , and let them stay for two days .Friday morning before work ,I go to the spot I plan to fish ,and put same 20 spombs in . After work go and put again same 25 spombs in .
The weather for Saturday was not to bad winds 10-15 km /h. ,steady rain and plus 2-3 C. .Start fishing at 9 am ,on the rods feeders with the same mix that I use to bait ,and on the hooks Hellraiserse secret obsessions pop ups from CCMoore .Time go on ,and not a lot of action ,honestly ,I did not expect more than one or two runs .First run come at 2,30 pm .A nice 12 pd.er common to sweet my day .After this fish I put same 12-15 more spombs in the area . With the evening coming the weather get bad with really heavy rain and the temperature drop to plus one .By 4 pm ,I start thinking that all come to a end ,and is time to say good buy to the 2012 season . Slowly start packing ,and by no were come a run ,out of the bivvy and start a battle with a fish that seems to be a good un .After 10 minutes of fight ,a big nice common come to the net . Put it on the scale ,and what a great end of the season 34,7 pd. . Yesssssss all the hard work ,cold ,wind ,rain disappeared ,and remain just the sweet feeling of good job done .To make the things better ,in the next 30 minutes I got three more runs ,with fish 26 ,29 and 30 pd. on the net . The rain and cold start to get on me ,so was time to go home .


Thanks to the Goods of fishing to be nice ,and give me such a end of the season .
