I tried to open yesterday's post by Savayman entitled NACA Q3 2020 and was told "You do not have permission to read this post" The error code is 2F173/H.
Why don't I have permission to open the posting?

Mo,
Here's hoping you and your family had a wonderful Thanksgiving too. 'Hope you've got a lot of left-overs.

Nice November fishing.

Don't worry about the odds. Just keep doing whatever it is that you are doing--the Fishing Gods are definitely with you.
Are CAG members going to be seeing a really good deal on a new NGT Carp Runner?

I enjoyed the video.
I wish I had more 'creeks' locally to do this type of fishing. It looks like a lot of fun and quite productive.

Mo,
Excellent write up!
As always, very interesting and informative.

As requested, I clicked on the poll to vote a 2nd time, but there was no place to cast another vote-just the same results that were on the 1st post.

Hi Mike,
Welcome to CAG.
Being 'educated' on those hard to catch British carp has served you well. You've done very well here in just the past two weeks. (Much better than some of us "locally experienced" fishermen.
Congratulations on the 38. Impressive.

Another good one. A new concept. Unique.
I hope the carp wasn't a flopper!

Mid fight with a rather large carp.
Nice picture!
It's a peaceful picture with a lot of action.

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?

Bluegills and chubs are no strangers to biting on corn either.

Those long narrow ones are usually real scrappers.
Did you weigh the fish?

For all of you that have been around here for awhile, you will remember Scott Osmond. Here is an American Carp Society interview with him that you will find interesting.

You are having a banner year. The sturgeon is a strange looking guy.
Good luck on your 1000 fish. You're certainly way ahead of me already.

Here are the names and stories of the fishermen who "started" our sport, and added to it through the years. Most of you will recognize many of them.

I think that you will find that very, very few people deliberately fish for carp. In the past, the only carp caught was by people fishing for something else, mainly catfish. If there are catfish and bluegill, you should find carp. We find this at my local venue all the time. Put out some bait, if legal, and fish. Start a trend and catch carp!
Cannonball is right on a couple of counts here. "People don't deliberately fish for carp" is right, that is, until they watch you land one. Then they'll nonchalantly come on over and ask you what you're using for bait. And say something like "Jeese, that is big and it really put up a fight"! I think it's fun to set up close enough to other fishermen not to encroach on their space (especially if there are kids fishing) and hopefully catch a carp. You can bet every eye will be on you by the time it's time to net the fish. That's the way to start a trend.
I find most people will politely listen about carp fishing, but will never try it on their own. They inherently "hate" carp from years of listening to sportsmen. But let them watch you catch one and they are all ears on how they can do it themselves. <:///><

Hi David,
Welcome to CAG.
Joining is easy. Just go to the top of this page, and in the solid blue line, click on the second item in from the left.

Good job Richard. Somebody finally caught a "normal" common carp for the competition.
-
That's an interesting mirror with the scales going down the lateral line. What did the other side look like?

Cathy,
Welcome to CAG.
There isn't any sense getting all hot and bothered over this old thread - it's ten years old!

I got this recipe off YouTube a couple years ago and like it. When I have the room, I use my 11 ft rods and can cast this stuff 50 - 60 yards. Fishing the rivers, I generally don't need to cast farther than that. Usually, not even that far.
Take an 8 oz can of Panko bread crumbs and mix in 2 packs of jello. I've tried different flavors and like strawberry the best. Take a can of whole kernel corn and a can of white hominy and drain. Add to the bowl and start squeezing everything together with your hand. Keep squeezing until you get the consistency you want. If you add any extra liquid, it will be too wet.
I've been just packing this around a 2 or 3 oz egg sinker-nothing else to hold it- and it stays on just fine.

It's a sad situation. but it might not be a good idea to give away specific locations of good carp areas on the open forum. I know bow fishermen have taken the time to monitor our site looking for leads for their "fishing" and am sure they still do. For specific areas, sending a PM would be a better option.
Around this area, there are a good (bad) number of bow fishermen on the water killing carp, and unless I'm talking to an angler, I keep my mouth shut.
2020 CAG FALL BIG 4 - The Winners!

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.
