  3. Picture Submissions to big 4

    I'm guessing your pics should have  been reduced as you suggested. This has been a problem in the past.  Reducing to 640 wide should work. 

    Noticed most of the photos downloaded to the leaderboard did not work. Maybe this should have been explained ahead of time.....

    Been catching good numbers of small ones and then, bingo, 29 lbs. 2 oz. Got this big girl on a combo bait of maize and a white artificial corn fished on the hair rig. Method ball packed around the sinker008 - Copy (640x481).jpg. Stange thing is that I landed over 20 fish in this spot and not one of them even hit ten pounds. Hmm, you just never know!

    I don't know if anyone has checked the stream flow data for the CT River but as of right now, I don't think you will be able to fish it since the river is flowing about three times the normal for fishing. The problem is that there is a TREMENDOUS amout of snow in the mountains.  It is melting and sending a torrent of water downstream. Water flows in that location are just about unfishable in the month of April due to high water, fast flows and lots of debris. If you are planning a fish-in I would have a back-up location in a pond or lake just in case the river is not fishable.

    RI CAG Spring Big 3 Tournament, 2018

    in RI Fish-Ins & Social Events

    Posted · Edited by (RI) pickerd

     

    Our popular RI CAG Spring Big 3 Tournament starts April 1 and runs until June 30th. It is open to all RI CAG members and any other CAG members who would like to participate.  Basically you enter your biggest carp for the month of April, the month of May and the month of June.  We total up those three weights and that is your point total.  Medals are awarded to the top three finishers.

    The rules of the tournament are below:

    RI CAG Big 3 Rules

    Spring, 2018

     

    Here is a summary of the rules for our 2018 RI CAG Big 3 Contest:

    1.  You must be a CAG member in good standing (dues up to date) to fish in this contest.  Participants can come from RI as well as other states so long as they are CAG members.

    2.  Only fish caught and released from RI waters can be entered.

    3. When fishing in this tournament, you can only use two rods max. Anyone caught using three or more rods while the tournament is going on will be disqualified.

    4.  You will enter your biggest carp for the month of April, the biggest carp for the month of May and the biggest carp for the month of June. These can be mirrors as well as commons.

    5.  You can enter as many fish as you want, but only the biggest (by weight) will count for each month.

    6. No fish can be entered for the month after the month ends.  For instance, we will accept fish entered for April up until April 30, and not in May.

    7.  You should use an accurate scale to weigh your fish.  I also suggest the use of a weigh sling if possible. Fish can be weighed in decimal format or lbs. and oz.  For instance, 20 lbs. 8 oz. or 20.5 lbs. I will convert all weights to lbs. and oz.  All fish must then be released.

    8.  Photos are encouraged but not required. Try to take a photo of a good catch.  Portraits of you holding the fish are best. Photos can be sent to my e-mail. I’m hoping to use some of the photos on the blog.

    9.  You should send weights of fish entered to me by e-mail at imhooked2000@cox.net  Include your name, the weight of the fish, and the date of the catch. Or, if you see me you can simply tell me the info we need.

    10.  At the end of each month we will set up an updated leaderboard on the RI Carp Fishing website at www.ricarpfishing.blogspot.com  or I will  update members by e-mail.

    11.  At the conclusion of the tournament, sometime around the first week in July, medals provided by the CAG will be awarded for first, second and third places. These places will be determined by the total weight of the three biggest fish. Note that we can not have a tie since we only have three medals.  In the unlikely event of a tie, the fourth largest fish entered will be the tie breaker.

     

    Any questions, feel free to contact me.

    Good luck to everyone and have fun,

    Dave Pickering, RI CAG Chairman

    Some very impressive catches so far.  Might be few in number but good quality.

    I am guessing New England guys will be shut out.  I checked a number of spots....no fishable water for me due to icing.  Even fast moving water was frozen solid from the extreme temperatures of the last week. Coldest FFF I have ever seen here in New England.

    Winter is back with a vengeance here in New England.  Extremely cold for the next six days, below zero up to teens. Temps for New Years Day....high of 14, low of 0. Even colder in some parts. Don't think anywhere will be fishable.  Even moving water will freeze at those temps. But, we'll see.

    2017 RI Fall Combo Tournament Results

    in RI Fish-Ins & Social Events

    Posted

    For the past three months our RI CAG members have taken part on our annual RI Fall Combo Tournament.  The idea was to try to catch and enter your biggest common carp, your biggest mirror carp and your biggest catfish or horned pout.  The fish would be measured in inches and your point total was the combined inch total. The tournament has ended and here are the medal winners:

    Gold medal- Brian Savage- 70 pts (35 inch common, 35 inch mirror)

    Silver medal- Tom Perron- 48 pts. ( 34 inch common, 14 inch cat)

    Bronze medal- Tony Carvalho- 47 pts. (32 inch common, 15 inch cat)

    The winners will receive engraved medals provided by the national CAG.

    As the CAG Secretary, it is my duty to certify the Presidential Election.  This has been done by the CAG Secretary for all past Presidential Elections.

    Below is a copy of that document that will be added to the books and records which I maintain for CAG.  I will also add my signature and the official CAG seal to this document.

    This finalizes the CAG Presidential Election.
