    Carp Live! Patchwork

    in Pictures, Stories & Video

    I really enjoyed watching your recordings, especially because this showed the winter bite, the shy bites and the line bumps; this helps me relate to the different types of movement I have watched and wondered about on the rod tips.

    Also very interesting how they use their pectoral fins.

    Great footage, thanks for sharing!!!

    FFF 2009 - Hall of Fame

    in FFF 2010

    Posted

    You will find all FFF 2009 certificates below. Graphics are pretty big because I generated them in 150 dpi, for a good printing quality in case one of the winners would like to print it and insert in a frame.

    Congratulations to those select few. :yourock:

    There are many with good intentions, but few who act on them. :rolleyes:

    Thank you much!!!

    WHAT WE CAN DO AGAINST THIS IN FUTURE AS A CARP ANGLERS ORGANIZATION ?

    As an organisation?

    Nothing at all in my opinion..........unless you can recruit a few thousand other CAG members in your State that share your concern.

    As an individual?

    I'd write to your Representative or Senator........but don't expect them to put it top of their list right now given the other challenges they're dealing with.

    Paul has the right idea but maybe the wrong approach. He is right that an organization like CAG has a bigger voice than individual members, but talking about saving the common carp isn’t going to sway many opinions; suggestions that avoid reckless spending of tax payers money might.

    Like I suggested in the Midwest post, was this poisoning the only option? Was it time for the "last resort"? Has someone just “wagged the dog”?

    Nets that are miles long are used throughout the world to harvest the oceans. Certainly a custom net could have been built across this relatively narrow part of the canal to temporarily stop any fish from going up river while they do their maintenance on the electric barrier.

    I am not an engineer so maybe this was already considered, but I just can’t imagine that a specially made net for the occasion wouldn’t work.

    This net could be used every six months again and again. It would be a onetime cost to manufacture it. And I can’t imagine it costing 3 million dollars!

    Suggesting alternatives to this massive poisoning might be a position that CAG could take.
