Couple of terrific fish there. Congrats on the catches.

Norm, congrats once again. That first 20 is always one to remember. Nice pic of you and Vinny.

I'm hoping some of our regulars who frequent this Forum will introduce themselves. We have a great bunch of guys (both CAG members as well as non-members) here in RI who fish together and share ideas.
Let me add a few things that may not have been included above. I am retired so I get to fish A LOT. In fact, I carp fish just about every day in the morning and sometimes at night also. I am also a fanatical stiper fisherman and I tend to do that at night. My claim to fame in the fishing world is that I have landed over 50,000 striped bass from the shore, a feat few fishermen, if any, have duplicated. I manage to catch a lot of carp from the state waters as well as from nearby MA waters. I especially enjoy river fishing and love fishing the Blackstone, Merrimack and CT rivers. Here in RI there is very little carp fishing pressure and I often fish places in northern RI that no one has ever caught carp before. It' s almost like fishing private waters!
I took over as state chairman of the CAG here in RI 6 years ago. At the time, I was the only CAG member. Now we have 12 members and we seem to have many newcomers sign up every year. I enjoy running the group and try to get out and fish with all our members.

Yes, carp can be caught here in RI in December.
I got a call the other day from a fishing buddy (striper fishing). He was quite surprised when I told him I was out carp fishing. He said he thought they only hit in the warm weather. Many fishermen seem to think the same way.
I am still fishing just about every day in a few choice spots that I bait up regularly. Today, for instance, I landed 2 mirrors and a good sized common (see pic). The action wasn't hot and heavy but it wasn't bad for December 2! I will continue to fish the carp waters of the state until the ice arrives. I have caught carp from open waters in this state every single month of the year, including January!

Amazing. Next time you're out fishing, get blanked and can't find a fish anywhere, play this video.

Great catches. You guys are real diehards and deserve every fish you caught!

Beautiful fish.

Nice catches. Thanks for posting.

Nice write-up.
Catching a 30 can be difficult. I tried for quite a while and then it just suddenly happened. The day I got my first 30 lber., I landed 2 more afterward.......three thirties in one day! Keep trying and that day will come.

Holy smokes. I'm waiting for a beast like those to be taken in the US!
-
Beautiful fish.

I'd love to have one for RI. Might get the ball rolling for other NE states. Already sent in a description to the state chairs thread.
Thanks,
Dave

Nice going. Always great to get that first one. I'm sure many more will follow.
