I too just got back from the Rivera Maya, and this is what I woke up to yesterday morning!!! ...and to think I was drinking Dos Equis and basking in 90 degree sunshine a few days ago!!!
That makes my day--oh yeah.
Where's ya stay? Got any favorites?
I'm trying to put another trip together now. Did the AI thing last year. Seriously considering going "native" this time--a few days at Playa, and then a few more south of Tulum.
Really would like to do a July trip to Isla Holbox and go snorkling with the Whale Sharks. I figure that if I get a good enough suntan--they'll think I'm one of them.

Awesome. There ain't anyplace better than Coz and the Rivera Maya.
You ever checked out this SITE ???
Great forum--top right.

Mo is close. Depending on the time frame.
Goober was the common name for peanuts in the 1800's
Goober became a Northern term for a certain bodypart soon thereafter--probably because of the possible similarity in size and apperance between said vegetable and Northern bodypart.
After the advent of the Internet and fishing boards--in the 90's, Goober became the term for a semi-experienced/skilled fisherman who thought he was the chit.
As a possible association to the Andy/Opey/Mayberry TV show--the term "Barney" became a common term for newbie fishermen who displayed a lack of knowlede, and a lack of respect for other fishermen. (who fished in close proximity)
Touron (knockoff of tourist) became the normal term for totaly clueless tourist who jumped in the mix without a clue.
Thats standard jargon from most Southest saltwater boards, and has been adopted by many of the freshwater boards.
No Chit.

Or, afraid of me. I would be...wouldn't you? LOL
Keep in mind that we're talking about a show--as in show biz.
If Charlie would accept your challenge, he'd have his flunkies contacting the best carpers that they could find, and pay them well to help teach charlie how to catch carp. Bet on it.
Question is--where could Charlie's flunkies find the best carpers--what would they pay--and who would sell out???
-
That ain't the same Charlie.
Does this look more like him?
pics came from the Charlie Moore Goober Gallery.
Seen one goober--they all look alike.
Never watched more than 2 minutes of the show myself. It's just to sad.

Who is Charlie Moore? Some Bass turd or what????
Charlie is a nutcase.
Fish against this guy and win----you beat a goober
Loose----
you'll never hear the end of it.

What is a good way to prevent tangles in two-hook rigs? I tried it once, but they kept tangling during the cast and when i reeled in. Stiff leaders maybe?
The rig Brian described is commonly called a "dropper" rig in saltwater fishing. It's probably the most common rig used for small fish. They can be tied with three way swivels, or with only dropper loops. These can have only 1 hook, or as many as 5-6. (used as bait rigs for catching live bait)
These are usually tied with 30 to 50 pound line, with the hook lengths being 4-5 inched long. The stiffness of the mono makes them fairly tangle free. And, like everyone said, it's way mo better to use a breakaway line to the sinker if fishing snaggy bottom.
Google dropper rig on some saltwater sites to see some interesting variations.

Carpmann,
Ohh BOY !
You are trying to start chit now. A three-way is a no-no amoungst the purests. Here's the deal, no matter how it is rigged only one hook per terminal line. You will now get lessons in double hooking and killing a 3 lb carp and the sin involved.
Of course we uninformed Americans do it or have done it. I still use a 3-way drop for cats and other stuff, especially ocean.
Ok, kidding, lots of guys use three ways for carp. For you guys who don't know that would be a triangular swivel - one line to the main line - one line to the weight - and the last line to the hook.
Phone
Ya think that maybe he's talking about a paylake rig?? Sliding sinker, three way swivel, two hooks?
Lots of people use that rig in rivers down here. It works fine. We don't have purist in the South, so it's not a problem.
<_< -
You might want to check out some of the saltwater message boards. Flyfishing for red drum is common inthe South, and they fish for them in the same maner that you described. Fiddler Crabs are a main food source, and they do have numerous flys patterened to reseamble crabs. Their tactics may be just the ticket for carp.
Justa thought.

Check the regs for your state. In some states, bream/bluegills/sunnies may be listed as gamefish, and netting would be a no no.
If you are getting them in a private pond, it's a differents story. But, there could be laws against transporting fish from one watershed to another.
I had this same discussion with my Father last week. he was under the impression that the regs in our State may have been changed recently. I'll have to check myself.
Hooksettin dude gave some good advice. I've always prefered very fresh shad for blues, but I've caught a ton of them on bream--dead and alive. For big Blues, I always wanted a good chunk of bait. A 6 inch long bream is just a snack for a big blue. If I have small bream, I'd cut them in half, and thread 2-4 chunks on a hook. Heads were always prefered. The more bloody fish flesh--the better.
Flatheads do seem to prefer live bream. Fish 'em as close as possibly to cover--whether it be a log jam, or a rockpile or a bridge pier.

1964. I was 6 years old. My Granpappy started dragging me to the local carp pond with him. 3-4 nights a week. Back then the lakes ran pots, but also "bought" the fish back from the angler--$.03 cents a pound. That ment that ALL fish went to the scales.
I was a big boy at 6, and my Grandpappy was kind enough to allow me to carry all of his fish to be weighted.
He caught fish too--so I got to make a bunch of trips around the pond, and got to meet all of the guys.
A year or two latter, he bought me a set of rods, Zebco 202's, and everything else that I needed to fish.
But--he still let me weigh his fish for him for several years.
NOTE: I started a NACA article about my early years at the pay ponds over a year ago. Never have finished it. I'm not much of a writer, but the storyline is a good one. I can't think of many places that could have beat growing up at a carp pond back in the early days.

No Prob. Pops were "treated", but not with the best 007 stuff.
Basic start up kit on BBT. It's up to Mr. J to learn the ways of pack--or to completly muff the job.
-
I think that Jerome's "Little Bird" is probably more of a "Phat Arsed Turkey".
I hope that he remembers to inclose some 1/0 Owners and some AHM Mini Boilies.

Way to go Domm--You Rock.

Balanced Bottom Bait required or very bouyant popup - your bait is neither balance nor popped up enough to be effective. Longer hooklink might help but unlikely in this case.
Personaly, I'd like to see how long a Gami 1/0 with a pop would last.
Especially if it was in a packbait instead of a method ball.Mr. J---freakin great stuff, but it's gonna make thinking fishermen take a whole different look at what they're doing--and mess up some upcoming NACA articles at the same time.
Seriously---Thats good stuff.

Horace, as a gesture of good will, I have decided not to charge my usual autograph fee during the upcoming tournament. I know there are some Georgia CAG members that we haven't heard from. Come on guys. Here is your chance to fish a beautiful state park, meet a lot of good folks, and eat your fill all for a very reasonable price of admission. Me and Big Al got our tickets last week and it didn't hurt a bit. Ya'll give Horace a call and come on out and fish with us on the 29th. Also, ( I'm not too proud to beg ) if anyone would like to donate some more prizes, feel free to let us know. They would be greatly appreciated. Tight lines.........
PETE--Don't spank these guys TOO bad.
I've been trying to get ahold of Horace for a few weeks, and it seems that we just had a small communication problem. Thats fixed.Watch OUT--Horace will be armed and dangerous.
NC Paylake stuff--with an Indy twist. -
Good luck with the tourney--and watch out for Pete and Al--they're sneaky.
Check your PM's please.

This is a coincidence We've been talking to the guys at Foodsource (mostly Ed Rogers) about stocking some of their products, Carp Candies being one of them. I don't know that we'll bother now that I know Paul is going to stock them. I don't think there's a market for two distributors of this stuff to the carp world right now. Interesting that we both got to the same manufacturer through very different channels.
MissouCarpee,
Their stuff looks good but at the price of a 20 bait bag I don't see them competing with boilies. Hookbaits only I think, at least that's the way we were looking at them.
All the best..... Bill D.Right ON.
Actually--I tried talking to them 7 months ago. They seem to operate a lot like----me.
I figure that they'll answer my e-mails in 2007. Actually--I was looking into their stuff for the "saltwater" division, and not as a carp bait.
Their stuff is available--if you happen to fish all over the place.
Their carp baits may have some value as a wild carp bait--I honestly wouldn't know. They may have a problem with calling it "carp candy"--in the US--but thats another story. As far as paylakes use goes, it does have some serious value as a pickup (with modifications). You just never know till you try it. It's worth a try IMHO.
I'll be using some this winter--for Stripers at HI.

Paul seemed OK.
LOL thats better than usual
j/kjust looked at the pictures of the carp candy . what is the consistancy ? soft 'rubbery" or soft/ firm? .
I havn't used the Carp Candy but have used some of their other stuff.
It's Soft but firm.
Use your imagination Stays on the hook nicely.

Nice going, Louis, you hit the nail on the head and ended the suspense. The list on the web site is very incomplete, they are making "Carp Candies" in seven colors and ten flavors (anise, blood, chocolate, scopex, strawberry, garlic/triple salts, sugar, bait fish, crawfish and the incomparable Obsession for Carp).
Available soon from....
Now that the Kats outta the bag---
I'll give Paul a "paylake" plug on this deal. I've worked a project real close to this for over a year. ----and ya know how paylakers work.
I don't think that we're talking any revolutionary bait here as far as paylakes go----but smart paylakers may wanna look at this stuff as an alternative to pops.
Nuff said.
-
Paul,
No dig at all or any of our great paylake guys. I would suggest Shears. He is not in the commercial bait business (as best I know) and he must have 42,000,703 different baits for carp.
Phone
LOL
Yup--Shears is a good un. Prolly one of the best.
Problem with paylakers is-----if something works well--they'll never tell. Or--they'll tell you that it didn't catch chit--and then order a case of the stuff under a different name.

Working on that this weekend Jerome, needed some help! Can make bait, but I suck when it comes to computers!
Been there, done that, got the T-shirt.
Richard, good luck with the bizness. If ya ever want to chat about downfalls of "do it yourself" websites and such, fell free to drop me a line.
I suck at "puters" myself, but I'll be happy to share some stories about things NOT to do.

FL Surf fishing
in Other Species Stories
Posted
Cuss it--YES. Break it off--maybe.
Rays are freakin WORK-especially the barn door sized ones.
BUT--keep one thing in mind. Big Cobia can be hooked in the surf, and many times will fight just like a ray--right into the suds, and then go berserk and show ya what you're really dealing with.
Ya gotta admit--surf fishing is da bomb. Sun, sand, and babes in bikinis. Quit now before it ruins ya.
