    Do you keep a fishing log?

    in Beginning Carping

    Posted

    I kept detailed logs for several years. But nowadays I'm very laid back...just photos of friends/scenery/couple of fish...don't worry about other details except River level/flow if fishing a river. My photos get filed in folders on my PC...ie year/month/venue or event.

  8. Catch and Release Carp Proposal

    in Public Announcements

    Posted

    Hope we don't get all wrapped up in "how to" and not get done what has been requested. The Mayor already appears to be making the proposal and having done so is just looking for our support.

    ******************

    To Whom it may concern,

    As a long time carp angler and one who has enjoyed the trophy carp in your area, I fully support Mayor Janet Otto-Cassada's proposal of Catch and Release carp fishing in your area. I've seen such great joy in faces, young and old, fishing the St Lawrence carp and know of many carp anglers who have your location on their "Bucket List" to fish for carp.

    SIGNED

    ****************

    We used to joke in the Army, mainly because it was true , that there was a big difference in officers and NCO's. Example: Commander would say "I want everyone to dig foxholes." The officers would have 3 staff meetings on all aspects of digging foxholes...when they finally decided to issue the order, the NCO's already had it done.

    Bait Casting Rod Recommendation

    in Beginning Carping

    Posted

    Buckeye Bob: Thanks for your reply. Do you know what length and power they use? Looks like the 7 1/5 foot with the MH power would be good. But,what do I know--------ask the fisherman who uses them. Thanks----Richie B

    I'll defer to Mr Big for a recommendation on the Bionic Blades. I use some older rods that are no longer available.
