This has been a tough month for fishing, maybe the worst ever. As of this morning, the last day of the month, I had not caught a carp all month. It looked like my streak of catching Chicago-area carp would end at 156 months.Yesterday after work, I went to the Chicago River, fished for about an hour in freezing rain before I had to leave for another commitment. No fish. Dumped about 3 gallons of Wacker Sinking Fish Pellets and 3 cans of Cream Caramel Pescaviva corn into the river before leaving.
Went back this morning, side hooked 2 kernels of the Pescaviva corn on a #10 thin wire hook, pinched on a small shot and dropped it into the baited spot. 30 minutes later a nice 8-10 lb fish and the streak continues.

Just received a shipment of Daiwa's new QD reel.Very nice, solid reel. Has a lot in common with the popular Windcast but at a price point that many anglers will find attractive.
I believe Wacker Bait & Tackle in the first store in the country to get them. Order now and be a trendsetter!

Dr. Patrick Mills is the chemist responsible for the deveolpment of BioSource and BioStim, two products that are PROVEN to stimulate feeding and to increase the number of takes. The pie chart shows the results of a "blind" experiment - a two-fold increase in bites with BioStim.
Wacker B&T has offered ground baits with BioSource for several years. They have been successful baits but do have one shotcoming - it is a little too easy to over stimulate the fish. The carp become very active but tend to overlook your bait. BioStim has solved this problem, it is impossible to overstimulate the fish.
World Classic Baits and Wacker Bait & Tackle are very honored to by the US suppliers of baits and bait products formulated with BioSource and BioStim, the Compulsion product line.
World Classic Compulsion Boiles will be available at the CCC in three flavors; Pineapple, Sweet Corn and Tutti Frutti.
Wacker Compulsion Sweet Corn Pips will be available in two new and highly effective flavors, Whiskey and Chili-Garlic.
Supplies are very limited at present but these should be widely available before too long.

Just a reminder that there will a a special trophy and prize package for Junior Anglers. Bring a kid along and he/she might will some great bait for you.

With a little luck, Wacker Bait & Tackle will have them in time for the CCC. Order now and we will set them aside for you. They will retail for $22.50 but the introductory price is $19.99 for a set of three.

Daiwa USA is taking American carp fishing seriously and has kicked in with a Mad Dragon Rod and a Windcast-Z QD (Quick Drag) reel.

The stewards should be fairly close to you. If they don't come running when you hook a fish, just start yelling and they will there before the fish is on the bank. There is ample parking quite close to the water.

We are looking for a few more weigh stewards for the CCC. Duties are simple: help the contestants weight their fish and verify the accuracy of the weights. Benefits are many: two free meals (BBQ at Wacker Bait & Tackle Friday evening and Italian at the awards ceremony/CAG annual meeting, several hours to hang with some of the friendliest anglers around and an inside look at how they catch the fish.
Feedback on the Use of Chicago Rivers Wanted
in IL
Posted
The Metropolitan Planning Council and The Friend's of the Chicago River are seeking feedback on how to make Chicago's rivers more attractive and accessible.
The various branchs of the Chicago River are exceptional places to fish for carp and the 70 or so other species present. But bank access is rare and is getting rarer every year.
I urge every Chicago area angler to take the survey at GreatRiversChicago.com and to let them know of the need for bank access.
