  10. Wally Garza with a 15-5. The second largest fish of the Tournament! Good to see the first years winner (2010) with a nice fish like that!
  11. If your not here, You are missing out Perfect weather, lots of fish, great company, and an atmosphere friendly to all carp anglers. So far we have 61 anglers hundreds of fish, a big fish at 15-6 and the smallest in the money fish at 5-10. Advanced division big three is 30-6 currently. Great fishing expected tomorrow, come on out, like Grahme Johnston's Fantail
  12. For those of you unfamiliar with the Dixon Carp Derby this is our Seventh (7th) Year. The event is open to all who appreciate and respect Catch and Release Carp Angling and conduct themselves as Good Sportsmen and Sportswomen. This is an open Derby so expect people to move, fish close by, and to sometimes tangle lines if you fish by the dam or other more popular spots (rarely are these winning spots.). Don't forget besides the Amature, Boys and Girls Division there is the ADVANCED DIVISION for the hard core carp anglers which is based on your Three Largest Carp. Entry to the Advanced Division is $45.00 ($30 is added to the payout pool which is already primed at $600.00 before any entrees to insure the Advanced Division Pays more than the Amature event PLUS!!!! YOU ARE STILL ELIGIBLE TO WIN THE GRAND CHAMPION TROPHY AND $500 additional for Catching the Largest Carp of the Combined events......!!! With Less than 20 Advanced Anglers you have the potential to win over $1000.00 !!! Because of the nature of 5th combined event and the areas of fast water remember there is no loose baiting allowed other than 8oz. of canned corn per day, hand introduced only. Method, PVA, PACK-Mix, and boilie strings are accepted as long as the cast is intended to fish.....not to bait-up.
  13. I KNOW THE WAIT FOR THE 2016 DIXON CARP DERBY HAS BEEN UNBEARABLE BUT THERE ARE ONLY..... TILL IT STARTS !!!
  14. Just confirmed with the City of Dixon and the Prizes are ready to go....... ☆☆NINE MORE DAYS TO GO!!☆☆
