Hey guys, so the theme for the upcoming NACA will be "On the Bankside", having everything to do with living, cooking, prep, and tomfoolery on the bankside! If you would be willing to write something for this upcoming NACA, or just want to share your funniest story, please email us at naca@carpanglersgroup.com Thanks!

There has always been the option for state chairs to request help from the BoD. Not one ever asks. Never. The BoD is not stonewalling anyone here. If you want help to run a fish-in, then all you got to do is ask! That being said, I have seen plenty of fish-ins in many states. Some have prizes and raffles, others don't. In the end, they were all equally successful. You make it what you want it to be. Unfortunately, more and more people are attending fish-ins for the sole reason of trying to win something nowadays. While unfortunate, it is what it is. If you need help to run a CAG fish-in and make it attractive to other carp anglers, then please ask! Prizes, raffle items, etc. The BoD is here to help.

We are looking for someone to step up and take his place, with his and my guidance of course. This is an exciting and new time for CAG.

We need candidates with energy, drive, and passion to help promote CAG's goals of conserving, promoting, and sharing carp as a sportfish. Any Interested Individual will need to please submit their letter of intent as soon as possible. The deadline is June 1st Please submit the platform letters to cagstaff@carpanglersgroup.com Per our By-laws, below are the duties of the Treasurer 3) Treasurer A) Serves on the board of directors. B ) He/she will make semi-annual reports of all financial accounts to the membership at large via the NACA as well as making the records available for review by the board of directors at any time as the board may request same. (Should a group of 10 members of the Carp Anglers Group, at any time, make a request for review of the financial accounts it is the duty of the board of directors to perform said review and report their findings to the membership.) C) The Treasurer along with the President and Secretary will be responsible for annual tax filings, along with any other requests required by the IRS Thanks!

Awesome idea Zach!!!

Hello everyone After long and hard deliberation, I would officially like to announce that the 2013 CAG Carp Classic (CCC) will be held this year in Indianapolis, Indiana. Westside Bait and Tackle and Hoosier Carpers will be graciously hosting this years tournament and festivities and I know it will be one for the books! The dates will be September 27th, 2013 to September 28th, 2013, but stay tuned to thise space as Jim Donlan and company have pre-fishing and post-fishing events planned. For those of you not familiar, the venue will be the White River, which will definitely produce more fish than last years venue. In addition, fish up to high 20s were caught last year, so the chance of a big fish is there! The river provides a lot of anglers the opportunity to fish socially and still catch fish, which is an improvement over the harbor. Furthermore, there are quite a few hotels within a few miles of Westside Bait and Tackle, so accommodations should not be a problem. Jim Donlan will be in touch with the hotels to make sure they have rooms available for all CCC participants. Westside Bait and Tackle has graciously offered to CAG the use of their amenities for the Corn Boil, Awards Ceremony, and Plenary Meeting. Stay tuned for updates on an itinerary of events, sponsors, and more! I hope to see everyone at this years CCC!

what the heck is stickybait?

Last call for WaltP!

Thats stupid. All my bank/credit companies immediately froze the acct/cards and THEN issued the refund.

Alright, the results are in for the FOURTH and FINAL of four monthly drawings for a brand new Saxon Hexalite 2.75lb carp rod (valued at $239.95) courtesy of Saxon Tackle! The lucky winner this month is.............WaltP! Congrats Walt!

As soon as you get fraud on any card, its compromised and you should have it cancelled immediately. Most bank/credit companies will issue you a new card for free

You got malware bud

Wait, so what exactly is preventing you from re-upping your membership??

That Texas thread can go shoot itself in the head. I don't appreciate the badmouthing of CAG

How they got all 3 of my card numbers is beyond me, as I only use 1 card (be it paypal or direct) for all of my online purchases

I got hit for napster, groupon, some UK dating sites, a UK sporting goods store, Guitar World, and a couple others that I forgot

Not if they hacked paypal for the card #s and used them elsewhere

All THREE of my cards were hit on 2/21 and 2/22. The fact that all 3 of my cards were hit makes me believe a vendor like Paypal or Amazon (the only places where I have all 3 of my cards on log) were hacked. Everyone should CHANGE their password immediately to all of their online financial accounts (including ebay, paypal, and amazon), AS WELL as their email accounts. Do this PRONTO BTW, two other carpers I know of were victimized by fraud today. One for over 3k in fraudulent charges!

Chase CC 2/22 Discover CC 2/21 Wells Fargo debit card 2/22 Since beginning of 2013, only online purchases I have made were: Amazon 2/18 Ebay-Paypal 2/18 In 2012, made purchases from: Resistance-paypal Wacker-paypal Big Carp Tackle-CC

Its weird, all 3 of my cards got hit this week...and I know at least 7 other carp anglers who were victimized as well.

So we've redrawn. The lucky winner is.....Jeffrey Crowe! Congrats!

Last call for Harry, otherwise we will redraw. Please PM me or respond to the PM I sent.

Alright, the results are in for the THIRD of four monthly drawings for a brand new Saxon Hexalite 2.75lb carp rod (valued at $239.95) courtesy of Saxon Tackle! The lucky winner this month is.............Harry McCarron! Congrats Harry!

Octo-man to the rescue!
