[Spring Big 4 2020 - Cancelled]

Yes, too bad that Big 4 was cancelled. But, I can understand the difficulties that fishermen face in many areas of the country.

Here in the northeast we are basically in a lock down.  Only travel by car to supermarkets and pharmacies. All state and local parks (where there are lots of lakes and rivers) are closed in RI. No travel out of state.

However, I am lucky enough to live walking distance to some pretty good carp waters that hold good numbers of beautiful mirrors.These places are woodsy spots with no one around which is good. So, my fishing continues, though very local and limited. 

Below is a photo of a mirror that was coming to the net last evening.

Stay safe everyone and hope you can still get out fishing locally in your area.

[Anyone been out fishing?]

Open water....doesn't matter the type. .When the shallow ponds are iced over, I hit the moving river waters.

[Anyone been out fishing?]

Snow all over me, all over the fish. Been great up here in southern New England. At this point almost 150 carp released in 2020. A warm winter has been the ticket.

[Congratulations to the ATC Winners!]

For any complainers out there, we are in DESPERATE need of volunteers. The word has gone out many times. No one applied for the President's job that was posted.  No one stepped forward for the Treasurer's job. No takers for the Event's Director.  Clubs like this work only if you have the volunteers. I'm amazed we can still do what we do with the few people we have on the BOD.
