  3. Sharpening the Senses - Daniel Jawadnya View File This article was first printed in a NACA magazine about 10 years ago. It is still one of the most fascinating and well conducted experiments to explore what a carp can sense! It looks at how carp respond to a variety of flavors, oils, boilie ingredients etc as well as how carp respond to color and sound.

  8. The 21st Annual St. Lawrence International Jr. Carp Tournament will be held on along the shores of the St. Lawrence River, July 18 – 20, 2024. To kick things off, we’re pleased to announce that recent Madrid-Waddington graduate, Tanner Smith, will be this year’s Grand Marshal! Tanner joined the Jr. Carp family in 2016, and took home the Grand Champion title that same year! Since then he has won several individual and team awards in the event, with last year’s event being his last due to age requirements. Despite now living in Georgia while attending linemen school, his response when invited to be Grand Marshal was, “now that’s an offer I can’t refuse!”, said Jo Ann Roberts, who organizes the tournament alongside daughter, Abby McNamara. His participation in the Jr. Carp tournament introduced him to a larger ‘Carp audience’, and was asked to join Team USA in the World Championship events in Hungary in 2022, and in France in 2023. When asked about his time in the tournament, Tanner said “this event is an opportunity to enjoy a great day on the riverbank with awesome people. I’ve experienced more opportunities because of it than I could have ever imagined, creating wonderful memories.” Abby, who began helping her mom with the event when she was only 6 years old said, “We are beyond proud to have Tanner as our next Grand Marshal. He brings an abundance of knowledge and advice to share with this year’s participants”. The tournament was started in 2003 by the St. Lawrence County Chamber of Commerce, and is now hosted by the Carp Anglers Group; a national organization with many of their members volunteering during the event. We’d like to encourage anyone who loves fishing, the outdoors and a family-friendly event to join us this year! Equipment and sponsorships are limited but available, and the experts will teach you the rest! Those interested in volunteering, sponsoring or donating toward the event, or to receive a Registration packet, contact Jo Ann Roberts at 315 244-1909 or by email to jrcarptournament@gmail.com. Kids 11 – 18 years of age are eligible to participate. Deadline for registration is Friday, July 5th.

  11. Hello Jr. Carpers and Supporters of Carp Fishing people! Our annual St. Lawrence International Jr. Carp Tournament is scheduled for July 18 – 20, 2024. This is a bit earlier than we normally hold it; however, with other events scheduled on the River this summer, it was the best weekend without much disruption. Grand Marshal for this year’s tournament will be Tanner Smith, who most of you already know as a personable and talented carp angler who was Grand Champion in 2016; his first year in the event! Participating until he aged out last year, Tanner will be a great mentor for everyone throughout the tournament. Most of the tournament’s rules and schedule will remain consistent with previous years. A rule book will be given to you at Registration. Age eligibility: If you are 11 – 18 years of age on the first day of the tournament, (July 18, 2024), you are eligible to participate. However, you also qualify, if: You turn 11 years of age between July 18th and August 31st. Or, if you turn 19 years of age between July 1st and July 18th. You can fish as an Individual or as a Team of 2,3 or 4 people. We have sponsorships available to those who really need it, but available on a first-come basis as they are limited. We also have equipment for first time participants who would like to ‘give carp fishing a try’ before renting or buying your own. The # of these is also limited, so available on a ‘first come’ basis, as well. One major change to this year’s event is that there will be no ‘adult’ division. This has been debated for many years due to it being a kid’s event. We hope this won’t change the participation of the kids that were accompanied by an adult in past years, as the adult support can still be constant on the riverbank. Thank you for your understanding to this change. The attached Registration Form includes the fee, who to make the checks payable to, and where to mail them. Jr. Carp 2024 - Registration Packet.pdf Click Here to Download the Registration Packet Please fill it out the form completely, as all information is needed. As always, we’re looking for volunteers, sponsors and donations; with all being important for another successful year. If you know of anyone that might be interested in helping, please send them our way. The Carp Angler’s Group is host of this tournament, and many of their members, who you’ve come to know from their many years of dedication, will once again assist the kids throughout the 3-day event.

  21. Here are the Results and Details of the 2023 Tournament. This year the Junior Carp tournament, which started in 2003, celebrated its 20th anniversary and featured over $10,000 in prizes and awards! It took place August 3-5 2023 along the banks of the St. Lawrence River County around Ogdensburg, Lisbon and Waddington, NY. 81 competitors, including 30 first time participants, aged 11-18 took part in the tournament which ran over two days. The young anglers caught and released a combined 118 carp, weighing a total of over 1,700 pounds. The participants included anglers from St. Lawrence County, as well as other parts of New York State together with anglers from Pennsylvania and Massachusetts. In the end it was fifteen year-old and first-time participant Connor Wright, from Colton, who was crowned 'Grand Champion'. Connor weighed in a total of 71 lbs. for his heaviest four carp to edge out 2nd Place winner in his age division, Tanner Smith, by just one ounce. Connor's team, Chum Chasers 2, also took home the 3rd Place Team award, with a total weight of 114 lbs.

This year the Riley Basford Memorial Sportsmanship Award was presented to teammates, Devin Green and Lucas Cruikshank. They were recognized for sharing their passion for the sport with others, mentoring and teaching others on the riverbank, offering advice to help them be successful during the tournament. The tournament, which began in 2003, is supported and organized by the Carp Anglers Group of North America. The Carp Anglers Group is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to catch and release carp fishing and introducing newcomers to the sport. For this year's 20th tournament we were honored to welcome past Grand Marshals, Abby McNamara (Potsdam) and Austin Delosh (Clarksville), and to honor the present we were joined by Grand Marshals, Kaylee Green (Potsdam) and Jaron Belmore (Norwood). “Of the 81 participants, we had 30 first time participants which is exciting and will keep this tournament going. We're also seeing the next generation of former families now eligible to participate. It's truly a multi-generational event and we're already looking forward to next year,” noted Jo Ann Roberts, tournament organizer. “The camaraderie and friendships made on the riverbank is wonderful to see, and some of my best friends are those I, myself met at this event,” added Abby McNamara, also tournament organizer. This year we were joined by Carp Anglers Group President Iain Sorrell. Along with fellow members Jerome Moisand, Phil Saunders and Rita Brown and fellow marshals they helped run the Carp School the day before the tournament. First time participants learned how to play and land big fish as well as taking care of them so they can be returned to the river to grow even bigger. In addition to the Carp Anglers Group the tournament is supported by the St. Lawrence County Chamber of Commerce. It is part of a series of tournaments supported by a Market New York grant from I LOVE NY/New York State’s Division of Tourism through the Regional Economic Development Council initiative. Our special thanks go to Jo Ann Roberts Tournament Director, Abby McNamara Tournament Organizer, Bob Giodano, our Grand Marshals and Marshals, Radio Operators, Lindsey Baker Photographer, and many volunteers plus our sponsors who make hosting this great event possible! Next years tournament will be held July 18 – 20th 2024.
