Congrats to the winners. ? This is a great idea of a contest

12 lb Berkley Big game in the dark green and any 15lb braid for my hooklink that's not coated. (hate it)

Its best when starting out to use simple baits. Both recipes given can be bought at any grocery,(except for soybean meal which can be bought at any feed store for around $15 for a 50lb bag) require no cooking or soaking and have caught me 1000s of fish. From flippers to my P.B.
Another thing you can try is just smash a piece of bread around your lead and dip your hookbait (1 popup corn and 3-4 kernals sweet corn) in any of these....
Butter Nut Vanilla (Superior brand)
Caramel ice cream topping
mustard
bbq sauce
any kind of paste from an Asian grocery
duck poop
Mt dew
Tobacco juice etc etc etc....
-
3 pieces of sweet corn with a plastic popup piece on the bottom of the hair. Dip that in some caramel ice cream topping and pack a ball of pack around it. Than dip the ball in a jar of caramel. Hold on.
Fruity soybean pack
7 cups soybean meal
1 1/2 cups flour
1 5oz box cherry jello
1 1/2 cups fruity pebbles (do not crush)
1 can cream corn
1 small jar of cherry preserves
(optional) 1 can of sweet corn without the juice
Always mix all dry ingredients first except for Pebbles
Dump in all wet ingredients and mis well
Then add the fruity pebbles softly without crushing them
Add sweet corn kernals softly also trying not to crush them
18 ozs instant grits
9oz quick grits or a 1/3 of those little canisters
1 can cream corn
no flavor....just dip it in the caramel
Your welcome.

Its always great fishing with Gilbert when a curious passerby asked what we are fishing for.

Jr is married and made me 3 grandkids and the youngest is still at home but out of school and working. They havn't fished much either but we're planning on getting out together more this year.

Good to be back. Took a couple years off from burn out but ready to hit it hard this year. Take care

Thank you sir.

Hello. I let my membership lapse a few years ago and just rejoined today. I was a long time member and would like to know if I could use my old account. I was known as "The Carpinator".
Thx for the help.

Charley and James have been fishing with me whenever and wherever I go for the last 6 years. At first it was tough. They had little or no patience. They wanted to constantly recast, rebait, play in the dirt, throw rocks in the water.....But I knew the importance of having a hobby you enjoy, something you can always look forward to do when you have the time. They last 2 years they have really become true anglers. They no longer need me to bait their hooks, unhook or net fish, take pictures, weigh, tie on new rigs. They have become totally self sufficiant. Now that Charley Jr is 16 his boundries have increased quite abit. James is only 13 but is allowed to go with his brother most of the time since he can keep an eye on him. This week while I was at work...unknown to me they have been taking my old ugly stick paylake rods, a little net, a bucket with whatever bait and tackle they need and fishing a bunch of retention ponds and little creeks around the neibourhood. I can't tell ya how proud of them I am that they are carrying on with the things I taught them to love. Heres a few pics from the last couple weeks. I hope you enjoy them and if you get a chance, take a kid fishing and leave a legacy.

I am fairly new to this game of carpin' but I am getting the hang of it. Feel's like a good day of catching is on the way. I am determined on becoming a carp fisherman....later guys.
Are you paylaking in N.C.?

Whos the skinny guy?

Welcome home Jake!

Congragulations on the new P.B., a very nice fish. I was just signing up for CAG talking to Mr. Huxley and Mr. Slinker and they were telling me about the fish you had caught. Me, my brother, and my stepdad all signed up, and they told me where this location was at. Needless to say, the next day we were on the bank. BIG MISTAKE. The winds were about 40 mph, the lake looked like the ocean it was so windy, and we weren't anywhere close to catching any fish, so once again, Congragulations. Hope to see you at the Fish in there in March.Actually I've had my best days at T.C. when the weather was cold/snowy/windy. Just hard to put up with. Only place for a carp right now in Indiana though.

And I don't see what it has to do with you where the organisers peg the event......................... It is what it is dude, you pull a number and that is where you have to fish: Dogs, boats, divers, kayak, long walks, every other peg.
For the record I and others have had multiple captures of multiple fish in the dog park areas of the lake both during and after the event
I agree Keith, its just like all the whiners at the WCC on the St. Larry.

Charley, IMHO, DC is WAY easier to get around than Boston, especially since the grid design is set up for the 4 quadrants around the Capitol.
Once I knew where 14th and K NW were, I knew my way around town.. :ph34:
I thought I was at the Nexus of the universe. At least you can see the Washington monument quite a few miles away.

All I can say if it is in D.C. is bring a good map of D.C., Virginia, and all outlying areas. Make sure you gas up about an hour out of D.C. cause you will get lost some and you will not find a gas station easily.
Great for the family though. Come a day early and see the sites. You can park for free at the Basin and walk from the Lincoln Memorial all the way to the Capitol building and see tons of stuff in between.
I say D.C. would be great for a CCC.

Love the basin. Jimbo with a P.B.

This Knuckle Dragger just hopes to be able to shake the hands of the rich and famous and donate my entry fee as entertainment.

I had 10 for the weekend up to 17.12...
Charley Jr. only had 2 with his biggest going 17.12 also. He still wants to come back and couldn't stop talking about how hard those Potomac fish fight...
Again...great time and a great city to vacation at. Thanks to everybody. My wife also sends thanks to everyone.
