  1. Ok after reading Louis' thread on what we can do to make things fun and exciting. How about since we have 12 regional sections and in each section you always see a fish story or a fishin in report or something show what you caught we have a fish of the month or even biggest fish of the month contest in each? I know each year the largest fish in each region is picked and this could add to that in a way to see what is actually being caught since those photos are submitted to cag and not seen in a poll or anything.I thought if you have a new person visiting and they find there section and at the top you see a sticky of a very nice carp it would entice them to hang out at a fish in or meet up with some members.I think the only twist would be you could only be picked 1 time per year so others can win as well. Its merely for fun to see if you can get the fish of the month or fattest fish of the month in your region. If your region wants to add prizes they can but its just to show off yoru prize fish and share yoru fun with others.Its not really a competition and is only meant for fun.Its just a thought for now but wanted to see if you guys thought this would be fun and both good for cag.It could also make for a nice naca page showing the 12 fish of the month from each region.

  2. I was just thinking about this. In PA we have I believe two free fishing days per year where you don't need a license to fish. I am sure other states are like this and I am sure they have those days at different times as well.On those days you get a lot of guys that don't fish regular and wouldn't this be one of the best days to attract more people to the sport since there would be a lot of non regular fisherman out for the day? SO while having a fish in a lot of people that don't usually fish would have a chance at a big hard fighting carp and maybe they would be more interested in fising regularly after enjoying a fish in.

    Now my other idea also goes along with this as well for us carp anglers. Most of us would love to travel to a few states during the year but don't feel like paying for licenses in tons of states so maybe if a fish in was scheduled on those free days in each state it would allow non resident carp anglers the ability to travel to a new state to fish for free and pretty much be guaranteed some carp action since it was a fish in and the area would be prebaited. Just some ideas for everyone to think about for the new year coming up.
