    Looking For A Guy Or Two Who

    in Carp Locally & Fishing Reports

    Posted

    DCL has a lot of gorgeous fish in it. I've had them to 35+, and they have this bronze color to them. Beautiful. Though near the M-D Line, June 2-9 may be hitting the spawn right on. Still, there will be fish hitting somewhere, and 40's are there...

    I think that tourney was on Father's Day weekend wasnt it? I remember pre spawn fish?... but could be wrong. I love that place.

    What A Great Night Out Fishing Finally!

    in MI

    Great catch!

    I went out on Firday night same area...my first time fishing for them.

    new PB for me as well, 65" 31" around est. 93lbs and 37yrs old. Without a doubt the best fight I have ever been in with a fish :o

    The guy i fished with would rather it not be posted on the Mi forums but we had 4 total and one bigger than mine.

    Hope to have pics this week.

  14. Funds

    in CAG Fundraiser Trading Section

    Not personal - I've met some terrific people through CAG.

    Not financial - I have a decent job, so the $25.00 is not a big deal.

    I initially quit (let my membership expire sounds better) CAG the first time because I no longer saw the benefit of membership.

    I was never a big fan of the NACA - (I actually preferred the original publication's style/format better.)

    While I enjoy carp fishing, it is not my dream to see it blossom, the way that CAG wants it too. I have always stated that I liked carp fishing in NA the way it was - a small (very small) niche "market". I don't want to see carp fishing participation explode. I rarely, if ever, directed people toward the website when approached bankside.

    I participated in several CAG fish ins over the years - in my home state of PA and also traveling to Michigan, New York State, Ohio and D.C. - no membership required for these!

    The tackle discounts that used to (are they still???) be offered by several tackle dealers were a definite membership benefit. However, I don't recall ever taking advantage of that on any of the multiple tackle/bait orders that I placed with those dealers. My fault for sure, but I didn't really mind spending what I did. So no big deal being a non member.

    I rejoined (3yr deal) at the urging of an old CAG friend (Herkel) who was going to try to run some local tournaments that required CAG membership in order to participate. Sadly, these tournaments never happened. I then paid for an additional one year membership. It has recently, and without notice, expired.

    For what I get out of this Forum and CAG in general, I see no need to renew my membership.

    FYI - I have purchased CAG gear (several hats & shirts) over the years. Would have liked to purchase another shirt, but I do not like the new design. (no offense to the designer, it's just not my cup of tea for a t shirt design)

    I will continue to read/add to the forum as I see fit. Will also participate in future fish ins as they meet my schedule availability. Will even assist the local CAG rep(s) in planning, running events if asked to do so.

    I hope this satisfies your inquiry.

    Thank you.

    EDIT: added "Thank you." in an effort to keep the conversation civil.

    well said King

    Some Day's You Just Feel Like You Should Have Stayed Home! Unt

    good work...

    I spoke to Doug Reed this week and he fished the Mississippi for a couple days this past week and caught twice as many grassies as commons. He was in Southern Il. I know the story about flooding fish farms that lead to them being there but they have to be spawning I think. There are spots here on the Ohio river were you can catch the same type of numbers.

    How was the fight on those? One run and done here most of the time anyway...that I remember at least :)
