Great entry level products. Cheap and you could try both to see what you like. I prefer swingers over hangers.
-
Hangers or swingers. Swingers have a bar and hangers have a chain/cable/string that attaches. They provide visual indication as well as allow you to see a drop back bite (when the fish comes towards you instead of away)
Most hangers have adjustable weights that you attach and swingers will have a weight on the rod that slides. The closer to the head the "heavier". Also swingers are better in the wind than hangers due to the solid rod.

I can pretty much guarantee that on those trophy carp/bass lakes there has never been any scientific study on how the carp "ruined" the sport fishing there. Of every study and report of lakes that carp "ruined" are shallow, mud bottom lakes. I just wanted to point that out.
-
I've never had one over 15lbs from there. I've seen several flatheads that were 50+ though. I think there's a good chance of some decent carp buy is brutal fishing it there especially when there's no wind.

I did pretty well in spot on Chicago fish in the 20+.

We can work out a deal depending on your budget.

I'll soon have two Saxon 3.0tc rods for sale as soon as my new ones get in

I'd be there in a heartbeat if I could!

You can anchor the kayak to keep it still and it works. All you need is to add a float that is attached to the anchor line so that when you get a fish you can unclip the line and get towed around. It works for me catching bay rays in the ocean.

I've always wanted to do a big baiting campaign on Kentucky lake! I think some monsters could come out of there. I think we did a fish in our two at rend lake but that would be many years ago. There's a lot of unfished/explored waters in southern IL
-
If it is attached to your line and your cast is with intent to fish......it's OK
PVA
Method
Pack
Boillie String
Sounds good, just checking
-
Does the no chumming rule include pack/method baits or PVA?
-
I should hopefully be able to make it out to a few this year.

If it works for you then keep using it! It's always good to have a variety of approaches to angling. A big, big mistake that there's a right/wromg way of doing it. Do what works for you and ignore those they say it's "the wrong way".

I've straightened one hook in almost 20 years of carp fishing. It was a fix series 1 in 2000. Fishing lake Michigan, the fish ran almost 200yards before the line went slack. Never had a chance to turn it. About an hour later I landed my first thirty at 33lbs and our felt like a baby compared to the one I lost.

Awesome

Fliers in bait shops, local fishing websites, ect...

This is what CAG needs! More involvement on the local level. Awesome idea and job Evan
-
I second the app. I had it before I wised up and got an android
Great app though
-
The fly fishing groups should be contacted via CAG leadership. I know there's at least one carp fly fishing guide on lake Michigan. CAG will need all the troops on our side that we can get.

Carp are very route oriented in lakes. They have favorite roots that they like to travel. Normal things like drop offs play a role in those routes. They've even been watched patrolling the same areas during the same times throughout the day. If you figure the route out you'll be on fish all the time.
-
Awesome fish and we'll deserved!
-
Classic book!

I've followed it for the past two years. Great people that respect and promote catch and release. Perhaps we should reach out and align with a group like this... Fly fisherman have taken carp on as one of their greatest tests of skill and I'm sure they would have a warm welcome among us.

Here's a photo of one I tied up the other day with a fluorocarbon hooklength. I attach it to a quick change swivel at the lead instead of tying to it a regular swivel. The anti tangle sleeve comes in handy with supple (braid) hooklengths while I don't think they're needed on stiff (fluorocarbon/mono). That being said I still use one to cover the bottom of the quick change swivel to keep it from coming off.
