Sayonara CAG Forum!

If it's public water - ANYBODY can fish there. Don't "advertise" if you think you "own" or "created" a spot.

Headed to the dirt track tonight........... http://www.ppms.com/ maybe one of the next two weekends we can put something together - heading south to Carolla NC for a week August on 15th............always got something going on.

No luck here either Brian - guess I'll just have to rejoin CAG........

Tried that - no luck. But thanks for the genuine advice instead of the ####ty response I got from a CAG director. No wonder membership levels are low.............

Recently, every time I log into the Forum, I get a message telling me there is no new content, yet I can see new content if I go into the individual Forum categories. HELP! Thanks.........

No idea, but it sounds like no, since I was not notified of my impending membership expiration.

Not personal - I've met some terrific people through CAG. Not financial - I have a decent job, so the $25.00 is not a big deal. I initially quit (let my membership expire sounds better) CAG the first time because I no longer saw the benefit of membership. I was never a big fan of the NACA - (I actually preferred the original publication's style/format better.) While I enjoy carp fishing, it is not my dream to see it blossom, the way that CAG wants it too. I have always stated that I liked carp fishing in NA the way it was - a small (very small) niche "market". I don't want to see carp fishing participation explode. I rarely, if ever, directed people toward the website when approached bankside. I participated in several CAG fish ins over the years - in my home state of PA and also traveling to Michigan, New York State, Ohio and D.C. - no membership required for these! The tackle discounts that used to (are they still???) be offered by several tackle dealers were a definite membership benefit. However, I don't recall ever taking advantage of that on any of the multiple tackle/bait orders that I placed with those dealers. My fault for sure, but I didn't really mind spending what I did. So no big deal being a non member. I rejoined (3yr deal) at the urging of an old CAG friend (Herkel) who was going to try to run some local tournaments that required CAG membership in order to participate. Sadly, these tournaments never happened. I then paid for an additional one year membership. It has recently, and without notice, expired. For what I get out of this Forum and CAG in general, I see no need to renew my membership. FYI - I have purchased CAG gear (several hats & shirts) over the years. Would have liked to purchase another shirt, but I do not like the new design. (no offense to the designer, it's just not my cup of tea for a t shirt design) I will continue to read/add to the forum as I see fit. Will also participate in future fish ins as they meet my schedule availability. Will even assist the local CAG rep(s) in planning, running events if asked to do so. I hope this satisfies your inquiry. Thank you. EDIT: added "Thank you." in an effort to keep the conversation civil.

Mickey - Thank you as well sir..............

Boy, he got me good there............

A. This is not the proper forum for a discussion of my personal finances. 2. I've spent more years as a CAG member than a great majority of the folks (including you!) on this forum, so please do not ever challenge my "CAGness". C. I asked a simple question regarding the addition of funds to the CAG bankroll, and instead of an explanation, I get "attacked" by some of the club members. (perhaps this is ONE of the reasons that CAG membership has dwindled?!?!?!?) D. Thank you Neil Stern, for stepping up to the plate and providing some information on my question. E. see signature below re: my CAG tenure(s) Good day. EDIT: corrected spelling on the word "personal" EDIT #2: all kind of spelling errors.....

No thank you. I was just curious. (for me) It's not worth the membership to find out.

What has it been spent on?

I notice that there is roughly 5200.00 sitting in the "donation" and "fundraiser" pots. Where is this $$$ going to be spent? FYI - I am not a CAG member and none of this money came from my pocket. I'm just curious.
