    I didn't get out on the Jan. 1,  but did get out on Jan.2. Tried a new spot in RI where the ice just departed.  It was a place that I never fished in January.  Hit a banner day.  Landed 10 carp from 10 to 19 lbs.  Here's one of them in the net.....

     

    That is some impressive fishing Dave!

    Your Jan 2nd would be a great day here in June.

    Naw- had to work all day and.............even the creeks were frozen and 4" of snow/ice overnight.....already behind for the year!!!! ughhhh!!!  MO

    Yeowww-snow and ice down there too?!  Must be global warming, lol.

    But I'll betcha you'll have open water soon and will be back at it.  Good luck when you go.

  3. Several days ago the Mohawk River was ice from bank to bank.  Then the Wednesday night-Thursday storm dumped 28 inches of snow, which has shut everything outside down.  The skiers and snowmobilers are much happier than I am.

    Now it's up to Kirk and the rest of the southern guys to keep reporting in and keep the morale up.

  4. I have used those drywall anchors for my pack and they certainly work, but I've found just molding the pack around the sinker works good if you aren't trying to cast a hundred yards.  The flat, no-roll sinkers will keep the pack bait on better than the eggs.  'Just one less item on your line.

    When using those drywall anchors it's a good idea to use a bead between the swivel and the anchor to keep the swivel from getting jammed in the anchor.  

    If you are using a couple kernels of corn for a pick up, the hair pictured may be a bit long.

  5. SlabMaster,  Welcome to CAG. 

    Yup, you are going to find that carp are more fun, more challenging (to downright frustrating), but much more rewarding than catfish. 

    I'm sure someone from your area will be in contact with you.  Try contacting Cannonball.

  6. Yes, that was an exciting tournament with outstanding fish being caught.  The number of 30's brought in was incredible.  And in the fall to boot!  A job well done by all.

    Of course there's no need to even mention the winner's accomplishments, especially with that 50, but, congratulations anyway Jerome.

  8. Egads!!

    This is one of the most impressive group of pictures I've seen.  And these were the big ones; I can only imagine the number of smaller fish that were caught.  The weights of the 'big ones' would be interesting to see.  Some look very close to, if not, 40's.  What was the time span you spent catching this fish?

    It's time I tried "fishing the puff".  I've looked on the shelves for them, but have never located any puffs in local stores. Do you know of any good substitutes?
