So what are the choices?
NC-Paylake
St L
DC
Indianapolis
Any others want to be in the mix?
I'd say lets just pick all of them and then vote/assign them a year they are going to make it happen.
Having a known venue 2/3 years out where it's going to be will make life a lot easier for many of those involved.

That's very cool we have more than 1 great option. No matter where it's held this year it would be fantastic to have 2011, 2012 already lined up.

You could put loops on each end of a piece of leadcore, which isn't unusual, but hard to perfect some times. Fishing the leadcore wouldn't be the problem it is on moving water so that would be a plus. You could probably perfect it in your yard because all you really need is the right amount to cast smoothly. You could, or should, be able to add a length you believe too long with a loop in one end. Loop to loop to the fly line and then start casting and snipping it until you're happy, or think you are, and then put a loop in the other end.
Thanks for the tips Wayne. I had in mind using a nailer knot to join everything.
Going the other way anyone ever used dog food (Chum Mixers) and got carp feeding on the top and then used a bait on a fly rod to go after them? seems that would be better than a controller float?
Not sure I posted this here? I think it was on facebook?
But it's the first carp I had on a fly rod
-
OK it's taken me a year+ to get here! Finally got one on a fly rod in Vegas off the top..very cool.
Now my carp head has kicked in and I'm wondering why/ how can I use a bit of small diameter leadcore(1-2'), fake piece of fake sweet corn on a d-rig set-up? I want to also target carp I know are feeding in maybe 4-8' but I may not be able to actually see.
I want to be a bit more flexible than just seeing carp tailing and going for them.
Anyone else tried this?
I first started carp angling with a quiver tip which was a blast to catch carp on. Trying to get back to that in a way I suppose?

A bit off topic..
Martin needs to write a book for many reasons, great story teller, and great history of carp anglers/carp angling, then throw in great angler. This is somewhat the summarized version and best I can recall of one of many stories
He told us the story when he targeted Benson at Blue Bells years ago. His attitude was 1 of 3 things was going to happen; either I'm catch Benson, I will die tryin' or Benson(died last year) will die before I bank him.
He spent a great deal of time traveling back and forth from home to Blue Bells. It's a ways for English standards. He baits up some spots and watches to see Benson eventually feeding on some maggots. Everytime he hears Benson has been banked his heart sinks because he knows it will be a while before he is caught again. He finally gets Benson to the net(on maggots) on a session and the hook pulls before he can net him. He's sick and someone calls he explains he just lost Benson. He hangs up and gets another call from the version in Englands of Suicide hotline! He thinks its a wind up and plays along. Come to find out it really was somone from there calling!
He lands(on maggots again) Benson a few weeks later and was obviously very happy.
I don't do this story any justice because I was in tears I was laughing so hard while he was telling it to us.
Just wanted to pass on that Martin is a top notch guy and is Carp Angler first foremost and I'm privledged to know him.
He has told me he plans on being back in 2011 at the CAWC so anyone there should get the chance to meet him.

Thanks for setting that up Louis.
Just logged in and paid through the credit card option(via Pay Pal) and it worked no problems.

Very cool Bill. Congrats to Willy. Hope to get by and see those ponds of yours.
-
Please feel free to join our Facebook Group to keep up with whats happening at CARP TS.
-
Noddyberg and I are in and going to be there. This always a great event (state record last year!) so don't miss out if you can make it.
-
Couldn't happen to a nicer guy and great angler.

Thanks Jerome.

If all goes well we should have all the registration forms posted on the website by this time next week at the latest.
The dates are on the Homepage CARP TS
One thing we are going to change for 2010 is the peg draw procedure. Each team will draw for the order they choose when registering just like always. It will then be a double draw instead of a single draw. Both the Captain and partner will each draw a peg number. They will have 20 seconds to decide which peg to keep and which one to return to the draw. We feel like this adds the element of watercraft, but also keeps a local team from having too much of an advantage.
If this system works well for 2010 we are considering using it for the 2011 CAWC.
Hominy will the week of April 19th.
Another note for 2011 the ONLY event we will be organizing is the Carp Angling World Championship on the St Lawrence River. Kathy and I decided we need to focus our entire year for the build up and organization of that one event to make it as well ran as possible.
2012 will be an exciting year with a line-up of new and additional venues for regional tournaments and the Tournament of Champions.

Wicked video! Thanks for posting. Not sure I'd give him the nod on the last one being a 30
...great fish though. -
That rocks.
Congrats man. Glad I got to meet you in PA this last summer and see you in action. Makes this recent capture of yours even more enjoyable to read about. -
Thanks for posting that! enjoyed it.

SWMO,
Ordered a 8wt and the freebie combo that comes with it I ordered a 6wt.
MrP,
I did land a carp while on Lake Las Vegas Monday. It took a artifical off the top near a harber where people occasionally feed them so not a real test of skill!
The fight was a lot of fun even though it was probably barely over 10lbs.I have some old copies here of the NACA so I'll go back and find that. Or I could just look it up on line since Louis set that cool feature up recently for all CAG members.
I do plan on having some fun with it. I've not let this year be a total waste. I've put together a list of places to visit that should yield decent results. Recently a guide told us(Green Country Flyfishers) about fishing on the lower IL below tenkiller dam. It has trout year around and apparently has a decent head of carp. The guide said fly fisherman are now setting up trips there to specifically target carp with him. Thought that was very cool.Thanks for the input everyone.

What water depths do you like to target fish in either wading or boating?
-
After being too busy this year I ordered myself a beginner fly rod and reel www.Albrightflyfishing.com No excuses going forward.
I did take a fly casting class last year and I'll be practicing more this winter. May even try to tie a few carp flies.
Myself and a local fly fisherman(now a carp angler) did start looking for some flats to go after them in '10 around here and there seems to be some serious potential.
Does anyone target them like they do on a flat bottom bottom boat for bonefish like seen on TV? That looks to be our best option to cover the largest area. I have a 16 ft Lowe 1652 mod-V that should work...shouldn't it?

Thanks to everyone that sent in a PM or email they plan on being at the CAWC event. Makes planning on our end much easier calculating payouts, etc.
I had a question on the pairs and team and why we do that. Is it required?
Pairs(2-man team) from countries and/or sponsors can form a Team (6 anglers/3 pairs) to represent their country and/or sponsor. If you just received the latest Carpworld magazine you will see "Team Carpworld" from England won yet again(congrats to them for winning a few years in a row now at the WCC).
Pairs can find other pairs to form a Team. There is no limit on the number of Teams. We plan on capping this off at 150 pairs right now so there can't be more than 50 teams. It isn't a requirement to be on a team either if you just want to fish as an individual pair.
It's just another angle(bragging rights) to add to bigger competitions. It also may help a team aquire sponsorships is where it can help the anglers.
The way we score our Team event is on a point system-
If we end up with 100 pairs the winning pair would receive 100 points. 10th place would receive 90 all the way down to last place receiving 1 point.
As an example for a Team:
Blue Team-
Pair #1 places 10th = 90 points
Pair #2 places 20th = 80 points
Pair #3 places 90th = 10 points
Total 180 points
Red Team-
Pair #1 places 30th = 70 points
Pair #2 places 35th = 65 points
Pair #3 places 40th = 60 points
Total 195 points
Red team would place ahead of the Blue team.
If a 2 Pairs have the exact weight, big fish breaks the tie to determine where they fall in the placement.
As of right now we plan on the winning Team to receive around $10,000 cash prize.
Another question was payouts on places and we have 1s through 8th(maybe 10th) receiving a cash prize. Those numbers are still being massaged, but should be close for places being paid.

We've had a few anglers that reside here in the USA, but were born in another country contact us. Even if you aren't sure which country you want represent let us know you are interested and we'll get you on the list. Which ever way you want to can be sorted out next year.
-
Sounds good Dave, I'm hoping to get a week in next year at about this time as I've yet to fish this River in Autumnal conditions - looking forward to it already
Marcus,
It would be great to see you and fish with you.
AF Bob said something about organizing a week long $50/$100 each Big 4 fish/move where you want format Winner take all- but I'll let him sort that out!
The conditions were great when I was there river wise. There is a lot of weed, but it's in the stage where it pulls out easily. Water level was great opening up a lot of bank space.
-
Are there any U.S. teams being orgainized?? Keeping in mind that a team is six anglers.
Will Big Carp Tackle be sponsoring a Team from the U.S.?Tom,
I'll let the USA Teams sort that out-
Pairs and Teams were defined above? You miss that?
To make things a bit less confusing we are referrring a Pair as a 2-man team and a Team as a set of 3 pairs that will make a country and/or sponsored team
BCT doesn't sponsor anyone(except me and I'm busy!
). We leave sponsorship up to the manufacturers goods we retail. 
Not to mention if we did sponsor anglers/teams I'm sure(and rightfully so) cause some concern as a conflict of interest. -
With the 2009 season wrapped up Kathy and I will have a bit of down time to focus on the big event in 2 years. I spent a week there during the same time we'll be holding the event 2011 just a few weeks ago. Should be enough pegs for 125-150 pairs. I'll be back again in September 2010 for a couple of weeks firming up peg locations and fishing some of them. (anyone wanting to join us is welcome) Goal is to have the peg possibilities on-line a better part of a year in advance.
I plan on going to Austria in December to meet with other country ICFA reps to get a feel for how many pairs/teams they would like allocated to their country.
One goal is to allow for as many countries to be represented as possible.
That said with the USA being the host country we want to make sure anyone interested representing the USA has their name on the preliminary list. So far we are up to 80+ pairs from around the globe that have contacted us to be on the registration list.
We will send everyone on the list an email and make it public knowledge(Carpworld) about the number of teams allocated per country after Jan. 1 2010. Those pairs/teams requesting a place will have until July 1, 2010 to get their $500 depost per pair in to secure their reserved spot. Any unclaimed positions are then released on a first come first serve basis. Cost will be $2500 per pair just like in 2005. Remainder amount will be due by March 31, 2011. After that if their is a waiting list those people will be offered the open positions.
To make things a bit less confusing we are referrring a Pair as a 2-man team and a Team as a set of 3 pairs that will make a country and/or sponsored team.
We will also need a huge team of Head Marshals(15-20) and Weigh Masters(40-60). If you are interested in that please contact us also. You get passes to all the parties that aren't open to the general public.
More details will come out after the first of the year and all of 2010 as they unfold. So we may not have the answers right now to some of the details.
Main point is to make sure we get the word out and have all those wanting to represent the USA have a that opportunity.
I've personally spoke with a great deal of best anglers around the world that plan on attending. Looks like it will be a fantastic event so don't miss out by participating or being part of the event team.

Leaderboard is updated. Closing in on 1700lbs total and 100 fish caught. Not bad considering the the weather. We wrap up at 10am and will be adding pics from the event over the next few days. We are planning on holding this event again next year in the same area so plan now to join in on the fun.
Would you come to the CCC if it was an an NC paylake?
in CCC 2010

Is there a way we can rank them in what members prefer here on the forum as a sample?
Then let 1 be this year, 2 be in 2011, and 3 be in the mix as top candidate for 2012?
