Thanks, Iain. And... I got mixed up. Black carp are the snail eaters (like French people, LOL), not bighead carp.

The Asian carp moniker makes very little sense. There is no meaningful commonality between grass carp, silver carp, bighead carp and other "xxx carp" denominations. Yeah, ok, they are all parts of the cyprinids family, but there are more than 1000 living species of those! Just consider the fact that silver carp (the madly jumping ones) eat plankton through filtering (like a whale!), that grass carp feed primarily on weeds (like cows), that bighead carp feed primarily on snails while common carp are true omnivores (like human beings!). Fact is all those "xxx carp" are just widely different species, in physical aspect, behavior, feeding patterns, etc.
If I remember well, Iain Sorrell wrote a cogent article clarifying the matter in a NACA article. I can't find it though...

Congrats to both winners, really well done !

You may want to play the lottery this week... Or maybe not (you definitely exhausted this week's quota of good luck!)...
But hey, sometimes, luck does come to people who truly deserve it...

Welcome back!

Just caught up with the submissions, write-ups and videos. Great effort from the authors, loved it!

Missed this thread. Terrific! Mega congrats!

Hey Mike. There will be a carp fishing social at horn pond in Woburn on Saturday November 7th, organized by another Mike! Let me know if you're interested.
Also, I am back home, so if you want to go wet a line, my time is quite flexible...
You can contact me at <jmoisand@gmail.com>.

It's more than a ghostie. I think it is a very peculiar koi. So cool. Perfect for Halloween!

Hi Tyler,
I'm sorry, I didn't notice this thread before. It seems that you decided to fish on the Canada side. Then yeah, all I know is Long Sault, which is stunningly beautiful and can deliver a lot of fish, but the average size isn't that impressive. I only spent a few days out there a decade ago, so I am not a specialist by any means. Did you go speak to the Long Sault motel folks? They used to be of good advice - yes, for carp fishing. Between Long Sault and Montreal, public access is hard to find from my limited experience. I didn't follow the shore towards Kingston.
Now if you decide to go fish the US side (e.g. Waddington), then I can be of more help and connect you with some knowledgeable locals (yes, Ed Sheffield included). Let me know. In general, August is the worst month when it comes to weeds (and the heat), better go another month.

Hey Mike, I live in Arlington MA, just a few miles from you. I am traveling right now, but would be happy to meet and fish together in November... And VERY well done with your results, call me impressed.

Cool pics, thanks for sharing. I'd be glad to learn more about fishing for drums, they seem to have quite a few commonalities with our favorite quarry...
-
Great pics! Thanks for sharing.

The logical choice indeed.

Six full weeks of Discovery starting October 1st... Let's go do it!

Have you tried an iPhone remote for taking pictures? This might be an ideal option as you can hold the fish AND then operate the remote when you are ready to take a photo.
$6 via Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Bestshoot-Wireless-Bluetooth-Shutter-Smartphones/dp/B07BLWY9BPThanks a lot for the advice. I bought one, received it this morning and it works great to remotely trigger either picture taking or video recording. Very cool!

(my question is only meaningful if we do have a significant number of juniors participating, of course, i.e. more than a couple. Do we?)
-
-
No junior category?

Hm, rule #5 is back to overly stringent constraints... Here is the text we had for the (canceled) Spring event:
Quote5. Upload your entries within 48 hours of capture and certainly no more than 5 days during the period of the competition. All uploads must be completed by midday the day after the competition ends.
Seemed much more realistic to me. People may fish for several days out of coverage... Might be clearer to say:
Upload your entries preferably within 48 hours of capture and certainly no more than 5 days during the period of the competition.

Will be part of it... A small fishing trip planned at that time... ?
