...and as You know some of them made mistake did not count all fish, that is why you won last time
but like a said it is a competition, sport and is your choice to pick tactic to win, sometimes tactic is wrong and You loose
Wow. I caught four more fish than the next angler.
That is some serious culling!
-
average weight of fish determines points per day???
I like that
I'm not so sure about average weight because anglers are already culling their catch to increase their average now.
-
Sounds good to me too, but...
-every sunday is diferent (water temp, air temp, air preassure, etc...)
-there is some days when everybody catching fish everywhere no mater what, some day not!?
Maybe average weight will help???
Good idea Marcin.

Interesting, I like this idea. I guess If we put this together with the ideas of rotating pegs and points we would have the perfect league as far as fairness goes. Im sure someone would still find something to complain about
Yes Mike. Under this system, rotating pegs is an option. But I rather like the idea that if I get peg 3 twice, the second time I know the peg better and stand a better chance of catching more fish.
How we are going count points Dan??? After league??? or every round??? sorry l did not get this
The points would be counted every week just like now.
The difference would be that this week you may have 5 point for peg 3 but next week another angler at peg 3 catches more fish, so now you would have 4 points and so on.
The idea is that you would only be fishing against anglers that fish that peg, and not against anglers on other pegs.
Remember that the problem now is that an angler on pegs 2 and 3 have very little chance against anglers on 1 and 5.

There has been much discussion as to how to even the playing field at tournaments, like the Winter Carp League, that use the same venue and pegs throughout. I am proposing a new point system that has not been discussed.
The current problem is that certain pegs are more productive than the others,and this is true at any venue. The current system gives an unfair advantage to an angler that is lucky enough to draw the better pegs repeatedly.
The way this new system would work is that an angler would still draw for a peg, but instead of fishing against other anglers that day, who may have drawn better pegs, he would be fishing against anglers in other groups that have drawn the same peg.
Let's say we are still working on the current 5 point system. Five different anglers on five different weekends have fished peg 1; the angler who catches the most fish/weight would get 5 points, the angler catching the next highest number of fish/weight would get 4 points and so on.
Let's say an angler gets the same peg twice or more times. He would still be fishing against the peg on the same point system. So he could only get 5 points once. If he caught the two highest fish/weight for that peg he would get 5 points for the highest and 4 points for the second highest.
The idea here is that no matter what peg you get, the playing field is now better balanced.

Here is an interesting stat.
Most fish caught per peg, top 3:
Peg 1 Frank 15, Mike 15, Lukaz 10
Peg 2 Tracy 4, Ed 3, Mihai 3
Peg 3 Istvan 9, Larry K 6, Mike 5, Ernest 5
Peg 4 Adam 7, Greg 6, Mihai 5, Larry H 5
Peg 5 Dan 10, Iacob 10, Greg 10
If we go by these stats, most desirable pegs in order are: 1,5,3,4,2
...and that is 15 different anglers
! -
It sure is warm. Must be a sludge fest on the river bank.
Apparently pegs 3 and 4 are doing well!
-
Nice plug and link to the video.
Good luck Larry!
-
Hey Paul, didn't we fish in weather like this December 12th?
...no, really
-
Welcome aboard, hooked on Carp!
Here in the midwest, we catch carp in some of the coldest weather, way below freezing.
Like Hairwig said, find the warm water.
... a good start is to find ice free open water,
-
FYI
Todays peg draw has Mike on peg 1. Tracy on peg 2. Andy on peg 3. Larry on peg 4. Adam on peg 5.
Good luck guys!

I hope this one is not in June or July because I will be in Italy this year. The Red River of the North is my old fishing hole too, so I hope I get a chance to be in this tournament.
Hi Paul,
No worry,"viaggio sicuro".
The CCC will be held, as customary, in September.
It has been posted on the events calendar, September 9th, 10th and 11th.
Thanks
Dan

Although i'm not a competion angler i'd love to be able to travel to one of these and visit paul @wacker to pick up a pair of Harrisons
Sounds like a cool place to visit, maybe one year.Hope it goes well for all who can go
Hey Baitbucket,
Don't not come because it's a competition!
There are many reasons to come:
This is a great chance to meet many of our CAG friends from around the country.
You could volunteer as a weigh steward.
I believe Wacker Baits will be hosting a party.
We will be hosting fish ins for all who choose to come early or stay late
. We have some excellent venues here.The city itself is spectacular with so much to do. Make it a family vacation that happens to have the CCC on the weekend
Look for attractions and their information to be posted, in the near future, on the CCC website.
BTW: Lake Michigan is also an excellent Salmon and Trout fishery. There are many charters available as well as shore fishing.
Here is few pics on the lake. It is a huge freshwater lake, up to 900 ft deep.
Note the city in the background about 15 miles out
A couple of small fish that day, but a lot of fun!
I really hope you can make it the CCC!!!
-
sounds good to me !!!!!!
Dang! I know it will be a big event if Big Bird is coming!!

Thanks for all the feed back. I was planning on preparing the field corn by soaking it in water for roughly 24hrs then boiling it for 30-45min. From what I've read that seems what one needs to do to make it safe for the fish. On what I was planning on doing with it afterwards was using it to prebait a spot in the local river that seems not to freeze this time of year due to the warm water coming from the water treatment plant and I was also planning on using it on a hair rig and possibly using it in a mix to put in a mesh pva bag.
Water treatment plant? Hold on to your hat!
These areas will hold a lot of carp.
When you chum, throw a bit close to shore where you can see it. If its not there the next day, you will know that carp are in the area.
Do let us know how it goes
-
hmmm this fish looks quite damaged. Ed said he also caught one that looked very damaged.
It makes me wonder if this area is now being fished by uninformed locals or meat eaters.
-
Best wishes Big Bird.
Get well soon!!!
-
Wonderful!
Congratulations and best wishes!
-
Looks like a great time!
Great pics and video.
Thanks for sharing

They were saving #2 for me!! LOL
Hey Larry,
Way to dodge peg #2. How's that California sunshine!
-
Dan--Peg #2 was in the bag, but nobody drew it.
Thanks.
and thanks for the updates

Yep, just trying to come up with alternatives. The weather is a factor that cannot be controlled. Although I like the peg rotation idea, weather is still a factor.
That being said, the better suggestion so far is the one where the angler with the least points chooses his peg first. The more I think about it, the more I like it.
