[Pack versus method; not for the humor challenged]

As i have mentioned, does not matter who uses what, WE HAVE BIGGER CONCERNS, than what gear and bait we use... Unfortunately we all are different and use what ever suits our needs.. Paylakers seem to be more of a "who is the best" competitive, while the "euro wannabes" enjoy what they do to the point where, we want to have nice gear, be conformable and enjoy the bank and nights spend in the wild.

Yes I like to have nice gear, because this is part of my fishing.. This makes me happy, it feels my heart with joy and happines, to be organized and have everything i need in certain situations. This is what makes me happy, its not being at work spending the days on the water. I dont really care who has better bait than me or catches more fish than me, because i do this as a sport/hobby to satisfy my own needs, not the paylakers needs or other euro anglers.

Cheers !!!!

I consider my self as a "euro wanabe" born and raised in Europe

If there are any spots left im in. I have been to a few WCCL events spectating and helping a fellow angler, this will be my first time participating. Cant wait!

[Congrats, Marcin Szydlowski, for 39+!]

Frank, Its clearly not the same fish. Lets not try to take away from Marcin's accomplishment.

Exhibit A

Exhibit B

Clearly there is an irregular pattern in the scales of Marcin's fish, while Paul's fish has nice even patterned scales. There is also a distinct difference in dorsal fin length between both fish.

[Ccc 2012. This Was What Carp Fishing Is All About !]

The CCC was a great event to attend! Even though i did not fish this year I came out to help out Polonia Carp Team and still had a blast. Met alot of people and look forward to many more events and fishing together.

[We Met After Long Time And Shared Some Bank Fishing With Some Results.]

This was my first time out with most of the PCT team and i must say, It was great. Even know i blanked i still learned a lot from the guys who were happy to share tips and provide encouragement, which helps alot when your getting started with carp fishing which can be challenging at first. I look forward to going out for another session soon with the guys and hopefully this time I will have put to use all the knowledge they passed down to me and i just might be posting up pictures of my first nice carp. Thanks alot to Pawel and all the guy for taking a newbie like me under their wings and showing me how its done!

[Disappointed...]

I would suggest joining as well......the access to a wealth of information is worth its weight in GOLD lol - plus the NACA which is filled with great articles from knowledgable anglers........... Its like two bucks a month or so.......small price to pay to be a part of a great group of guys!

Does the NACA come out monthy? where ca i subscribe to it?

[Wccl 2012]

Today was my first time out to a WCCL event and it was pretty awesome even though I didnt fish, I hung out and learned alot and being new to carp fishing I thought the level of acceptance and willingness to share knowledge was fantastic! Good seeing you guys and hope to be out to many more events!
