Hello fellow Ohioans,

Welcome to the Meet and Greet section of the Ohio forum. This will give those from Ohio a chance to post some information above themselves and get to know everyone a bit better.

I'm from Reynoldsburg, Ohio but fish all around the state. I grew up fishing Buckeye Lake with my grandpa mainly fishing for whatever would bite. It seemed like I would always have a rod with rye crisp or wheaties in hopes of catching a carp. I became serious about carp fishing in the middle of 2009 so I'm fairly new to the Euro part of it. I spend just about every Saturday or Sunday fishing, so if you'd like to get together sometime send me a message and we can arrange something.

Hope to hear from everyone.

-Vince

Very nicely put Vince, also like the new Greet & Meet topic. If they find the new forum, which I did, so it can't be that hard, I'm sure your write up will bring new and even some old friends back to CAG. and look foreward to meeting them along some bank in 2011.
Keep up the good work.

My name is Mike and I live in Cuyahoga Falls. I have gotten into carp fishing over the last couple years. I usual fish the Springfield and Portage Lakes areas of Akron, and occasionally the Cuyahoga River.

I caught my personal best 16.5 lb common this year and that cemented my dedicated to these awesome fish.

[The Old Carper]

Hi there! My name is Jim and I live in Columbus. I've been fishing for carp about 45 years now. To be honest, a lot of times I felt a little ashamed to admit I was fishing for carp whenever somebody on the bank would ask. But after finding CAG a few years ago, I found out that I'm not alone in my love of catching these monster fish. Just ask any bass angler when the last time was that he caught a 20 pound bass. I fished for carp using the "old school" method of a night crawler on the bottom with a slide sinker for many many years. Through this group of guys I've learned newer and better techinques and baits. My catch rate has increased over 10 times the amount it was back then. Any of us would be more than happy to teach you some of these so called "Euro" techniques. (Euro just means the way they do it over across the ocean) I'm not saying the Euro-style is better, but some of the gear just makes it easier. I'm no expert by a long run, but I'm always willing to share anything I know.

Well as you can tell from my username my name is Shawn. I was the Ohio Chairman from 2003-2006, serving one of those years as co-chair with Phil Davenport. Served on the BoD for CAG for the same period. My wife, daughters, and I live in Galion. We have been carp fishing since late 2002 into early 2003. Although my time to actually spend bankside has been nearly zero for the past few years (work schedules suck), we try to get out with the kids when time allows. Don't spend much time on the forums anymore, but try to check in when I can. Looking forward to meeting some of the new faces bankside next year as time allows.

Hey, my name is Clayton and I live in Kettering, just outside of Dayton. I've been fishing for carp for 20+ years now, but got into serious carping back in 1998 when I first learned about the Carp Anglers Group. I've fished all over Ohio and in a few other states and always enjoy fishing with other carpers whenever I've got the time.

I'm mike I live in Bucyrus (the Bratwurst capital) I've fished for carp since I was 14 when I took my brand new ultra light spinning rod out for the first time and landed a 19" carp from a local pond. I was only planning on catching some bluegills, but man was that carp a big surprise and a lot of fun. After that I spent a lot of time fishing the Sandusky River with an ultra light stalking carp. I joined CAG back in 2005 after meeting the group up at East Harbor.

[goosebuster]

Hello all my name is Gary Calton and I live in Middletown,Ohio.I found CAG in 2006 by accident actually.zI was online looking for the holy grail of carp bait.Well what I found was much better.Anyway I first started carp fishing probly 22 years ago at the local paylakes with the doughball technique.I really only went totally euro about 3 years ago.But the few thing I have learned along the way is this;fish often,share with a friend,share info along the way,have confidence in your bait and location,and most of all have fun.The fish will come.

Hello, all. I love adventure and find it in chasing carp in new water. I use euro tackle(poles, reels, rod pod but not bait). I like trying food stuffs out of my local grocer. Just ask Bill, I throw everything at my intended quarry. I'm really trying to find the next great bait! lol I do most of my fishing after midnight(that's when I get off work). So, if you're coming through Western Ohio let's go fishing. Tom
