[Dates for the 2015 ATC set]

Gotta watch out Neil, her PB is 29.14.... She's got beginners luck on her side.

[Dates for the 2015 ATC set]

Should be a good year. My wife is going to be my partner (she doesn't really fish...maybe twice a year) but it will be fun! Can't wait to get together with all you crazies again.

[can you recomend a spot]

I have a buddy that fishes Lou yager, mostly carp around 10lbs. Decent channel cats also

[can you recomend a spot]

lou yager, glen shoals, coffeen should all be within an hour.

Pro tip: bring something for shade!

[OFFICIAL 2014 DIXON Family Carp Derby Thread]

Not your normal carp event but definitely one of the more fun ones... Unless you drink a bottle of moonshine and have to wake up and steward the next day!

It's a great opportunity to get normal fishing folks to see safe catch and release methods and good fish care. Plus helping the kids is always fun, especially when the girls category is won using a gummy bear. Hate that I have to miss it this year but count me in for next years!

Guess we know who the real invasive species is. Congrats to all the winners.

[Yakkin' about Carp!]

I love my kayak! Only been fishing in the ocean so far but when I get back to Illinois I'll definitely be using it to find me carp spots.

[2014 CCC will be hosted in Waddington, New York on Sept. 12th & 13]

No go for me the loving wife planned a trip to Disney Land on the same dates.

[New CAG and to carping]

Welcome to the club! As for gear recommendations I would learn the basics of rigs and locating carp and then upgrade your gear. The diawa mad dragon rods are about $60 and decent rods for the money. Okuma makes some entry level bait runner reels that will work for you to. A couple bank sticks will work until you get a pod. Remember that the fish don't care what rod and reel you have, only your bait

[time for some bank side reading]

Busted out some of the collection. Plenty to read during the slow times.

[birch lake Wisconsin]

Anyone have info about carp fishing there?

[OFFICIAL 2014 DIXON Family Carp Derby Thread]

You flying me out?

[Has CAG done it's job? Is it a viable organization?]

I'm definitely going to say a big YES and it will continue to do so for many years to come! From being around since the beginning and see where it has gone I have to say that CAG started it all, contrary to what some will say.

[line breaks]

Might try to add a length of rig tubing above lead. That has helped me before.

[zigs]

My first fish on a zig was a catfish lol

I haven't had any problems with other species like panfish or bass. Seems to be either a carp or nothing.
