Montgomery Carp Derby

[Guest cornball]

It's that time of year again and I just got the call from the boyscouts down in Montgomery. They tell me everything should be the same as last year, including the more fish friendly format of weighing then release (no-stringers). I'll be down to do demos on Saturday and help with the weighing of fish on Sunday. The only real rule change is that if there is a tie, the higher prize will go to the first to register their fish.

Date:
Sunday August 15th, 2010

Time:
6:00am-2:00pm

Cost:
I forgot to ask, but I'm sure its about the same as last year

I know a number of you always make it, but give me a heads up count and if enough are going to show maybe will do a side-pot prize in memory of my buddy, Jeremie. Edited July 30, 2010 by cornball

Just a reminder I will be here in Montgomery this weekend, not in Dixon. Anyone not going to Indiana should come by. There is a fair, with rides and a parade. For anyone fishing.......there is only one weigh location so plan ahead for keeping your fish alive if you have never been here cause it will be hot. This is not a CAG event and I help out to try and keep as many fish alive as possible, we can only lead by example, not complaining. If you have a few bucks burning a whole in your pocket pick up a couple of extra Wal-Mart mesh laundry bags and turn a stringer fisherman to a proper carp angler.....there about $2.86 plus tax. Paul at Wacker has loaned some in the past and I'll have those as well as a couple of dozen of the cheepeys' myself but any help would be greatly appreciated. The good news is this year all carp will be immediatly released after weighing, not stringered or caged till the end of the event as all previous years.

thx larry for the hard work is the river going down? been up here for awhile now

[Guest cornball]

Don't know for sure about the lower Fox, up by us they opened the river to no wake below the Mchenry Dam 3-4 days ago so the water is dropping. Even during the flooding the river never got to the Parking Lot at Ashland in Montgomery so I'd say water levels should be high but not flood by Sunday. The back channel should be deep enough, if the water is still rushing in the main river. I would expect mud at the edges and banks!!!!

Here's a link for those concerned about water levels sunday..

Sorry guys

I will not going to make this sunday.

I was schedule as a manager at work so there is no way that i can give up my shift to anybody.

Good luck everybody

see you sunday august 22nd

[FJR1]

Sorry you can't make it, Marcin Nobody, evidently, wants to take a manager's shift. It doesn't matter that much anyway. The Chione boys will bivvy up all night to reserve a prime swim and show all of us how it's done.

I see a repeat of 2008

That would be good, but 2008 was before the Chione boys were old enough to stay at a swim all night.

[Guest cornball]

Larry, I heard that the Chione brothers placed 1st & 4th.

The Final Results are:

48 participants (3 in the kids catagories)

Several hundred onlookers, and well wishers.

No Dead Fish, and again thanks to Frank Rink for donating some carp sacks to hand out.

Thank godness the heat passed and the weather was almost perfect.

And the general opinion among spectators who stopped by to see the "Stinger" was shock, suprise and happiness to see that all the fish where being released right away. And many said next year they will be fishing again now that the fish are safe. As much as you can't change everyone.......I think that most had realized it was time for a change and it's good to see the general publics desire to see even the common carp respected and released at a local carp derby.

The Winners;

1st Place John Chione 9-14

2nd Place Corey B. 9-13

3rd Place Mike O. 8-13

4th Place Andrew Chione 8-10

5th Place Frank R. 8-1

Girls 6-5

Boys ---

Thank you, Illinois State Chair Larry, for your efforts to get the word out and to back that word with positive results!

Congrats to Cory, Mike, and the Chione boys for their high placement on the leaderboard. I didn't realize there were 48 participants, so the CAG/MCAA members did well, placing three in the top five!--Frank
