They are black, narrow and maybe a foot long. Any idea what they are? They look like suckers. lol

In Scugog the carp just shows it's back and these fish are coming right out of the water. I guess I can stop throwing spinner baits at them .....

I witness them jumping in 20 fow in the Trent ....

including your self and if you have kids there usually a blast to hook into from the dock . Use carp bait . Hook , line and sinker .

Some people even bait them with corn from the docks or fish pellets ....

Thanks Bob!
Fishing for carp under my dock sounds like a drinking sport!
