    Book on modern carp fishing?

    in Beginning Carping

    Posted

    Welcome to CAG Dave! Honored to have you aboard! You'll find some great information right here on the forum :)

    The Great Lakes Angler magazine has been one of my favorites for many years and your work as editor, outstanding! Please critique our NACA magazine which should be arriving by mail very soon.

    I was also fortunate to participate in your salmon school back in, I think,1998; great info given by Dan Keating, yourself and Chip Porter. I still go out salmon fishing and usually successfully, but I must confess that the European style of carp fishing has captured my attention and most of my time these past years. In this particular style, the fish are well respected and great care taken releasing them. Not too unlike salmon fishing, there are so many variables and small details to consider as well as different types of gear.

    You'll find a lot of great anglers on the CAG website willing to answer most questions, most any questions except maybe giving away a special honey hole! :lol:

    VOTE NOW FOR FUNNY FISH STORY WINNERS

    Just had a whole lot of fun reading through the stories. A lot of good ones!

    We all have some good stories we tell, write em down and share!

    OK... I'm reminded of a time I was down at the Chicago lakefront fishing for perch. The bite was on soft shell cray fish which usually come frozen because they are intentionally frozen when they are molting their shells, thus - soft shell crayfish, great bait! Well the bait shop was all out and only had hard shell live cray fish which is what I was left to fish with. This was no fun as I had to sadistically cut off their tails for bait small enough for the perch.

    A lot of people, other than fishermen, frequent the lakefront. As fate would have it, a man and his very young (maybe 5 years old) son chose me to stop and ask the usual 20 questions about fishing. I would answer the questions and the dad would proudly explain to his son the virtues of fishing.

    I sometimes don't think things all the way through and what I think is a good idea sometimes goes sour...

    Well, I thought this young lad might want one of my live crayfish to take with him as a pet. I know they do well in fish tanks. So I say, "here kiddo, this is for you!" I reach into the bait bucket and grab the largest crayfish in there and with a big smile I set it on the walk in front of this unsuspecting child. There was like a moment when time stood still and this poor kid froze as he looked at this cray fish which had assumed the defensive position, tail down, claws up and snapping. When this young boy came out of his fear induced trance he let out an ear piercing scream and took off running and crying with his dad in chase.

    ...poor kid probably still has nightmares... sorry kid, I meant well.

    2014 CCC Venue & Host Discussion

    It doesn't have to be a Director or a State Chair or a Bait and Tackle - a CAG member with organizational skills can take the lead on the CCC!

    Ever been to a venue and thought, "this would be a great place for a tournament!". Lets hear some ideas on a good location with accessible bank space for 60 to 80 anglers (average) or more.

    Mario - I can only imagine the amount of time put into these outstanding editions of the electronic NACA you produced.

    Thanks so much for keeping the NACA going!!

    I'm really looking forward to this printed edition.

    Side note: I have been gathering NACA's for some years and buying missing editions from some of our vendors. I have one set: Winter 2007 (year I joined) through Spring 2011!

    Does that make a complete set??
