Who’ll stop the rain?

Appreciate your help! I’ve got two big rolls of Korda Touchdown 20 pound mono. For thick hooks, are the Gamakatsu one of the better ones? Lots of choices out there.
-
Hopefully they take care of you!

I just bought two free spirit ctx 3.25’s from BCT. Did you like them?
-
Dude, sorry to hear this. People really suck sometimes! Hopefully the cops catch the guy.

I’m in for rookie of the year lol first event
I’m there with you!

Many thanks! I’ll try them both. How long is your hair in the first rig? Looks longer.
-
Luke from Cats and Carp has a video with the hair rig, I was just looking for a couple more.

I’m still using Korda rigs that I buy from BCT, but wanting to try tying my own. Not looking for anything fancy and difficult to tie either. The areas I’m fishing are muddy, rocky rivers like Mississippi, Missouri, Meramec. Fair amount of muddy rocky bottoms.
Looking for ideas on line to use, thinking monofilament in 15 pound test like my main line test? Sometimes I use 20 pound mono as well.
Which hook and any types of bends/tubing necessary? I’m using maize and fake maize, along with 15-20mm boilies. Size 8 swivels I’m assuming to fit my method leads? Thanks for any suggestions.

Looking forward to meeting everyone. Hoping you Illinoisan folk will impart some wisdom to a new carp angler☺️

Wow, awesome fish! Really cool how the orange one stuck near the golden. I wonder if there are other fish in that pond, or just those two pets that someone released.

Beautiful mirror! I wish my shorelines were so nice and level! I’ve got great rivers around here but you have to be a billy goat to get down the banks covered in rocks and brush.

Yeah, I watched that a couple of times actually a while back looking for pointers. I typically use a baiting technique with boiled bird seeds, hemp, maize, etc. My go to method bait has been Luke’s recipe of panko, corn and strawberry jello. I’ve caught a lot of carp in our local river with this, but I’m leary it’ll work on a river that gets a lot of fishing pressure. Down here we have three big rivers full of carp and they go for pretty much anything.

I got mine.
-
Thanks. I’ve got some goodies set aside.
-
Or is it order and avoid shipping charges?
-
What’s the discount?
-
Must be some deep, dark secrets??
-
Whoa! Gotta avoid that train track??? Cool picture at 105 years old.

15 hour day, came home and read the whole thing. Awesome!

I’m pretty new too, but quickly went to maize and fake corn. Sweet corn by itself did the same thing for me. I use boiled maize with a piece of fake corn or maize at the bait stop end. You can pull it in nice and tight and it’s probably tougher for the fish to strip it. But I’m newer and someone else might have better answers!!
-
Are you using sweet corn? If so, most fish and turtles love it. Maybe try boiled maize, or put a piece of fake corn butted up against your bait stop. That way, you still have “bait” on your hair that may well catch the elusive Carp?

Chad, and all the volunteers who made the CCC possible this year. Thank you!
Mother Nature threw us a change up with flooding, but the work you put into making this event possible was extraordinary. It took a lot of time and thought to put it all together. Strong work.
Thanks to the folks at Dale’s Athletic Club for hosting the dinner/raffle. Being a new guy, I felt welcomed by everyone and enjoyed the visit. Looking forward to seeing you in the future.
