[NACA Latest Issue]

still impatiently awaiting the arrival of mine here in Idaho : (

[Proof that Tiger Nuts are Awesome!]

I grew some tigers in the garden and cleaned and ate some. Not bad at all. I have seen where people cook with them too.

[Last overnight session video of 2013 New PB for Tim 30lb 8oz]

Another great video from you Brian thanks for sharing. So when you're fishing a new bait or a new spot do you do any prebaiting the spot? Do you bait the swim regularly or is your pva bags the only freebies you are putting out? Thanks for sparking the fire more I have a few spots I want to hit maybe this weekend just for day sessions. All spots I am thinking about I can almost guarantee have never been targeted for carp. Any suggestions? Chumming here isn't legal but I almost always use either pva or some form of pack since that kinda falls in a grey area and it gets some bait in the water.

[My 2014 Youtube intro]

Looks like a good little teaser Brian

Day late and a dollar short also but I hope everybody had a great and safe Thanksgiving

[How to register for the TOKS Big 4 and all other features!]

I was wondering why I haven't gotten any updates or notices. I haven't had time to fish with hunting season around so I haven't bothered to try and sign up for the latest contest. I sure hope the TOKS contests continue.

[Bow hunting.]

[French carper on the West Coast]

Hey Eric

Sorry that BF didn't put out for you. Keep in mind when you manage to come back to the states. If you come to my area again I hope it's before September so I can join you. Keep sharing those beautiful French carp.

[Grab your compass and map! There is discovering to do!]

Between the wife's elk hunt and my antelope hunt I wont get out much if at all unless we fill tags early then I have a few spots in mind good luck to all who get out.

[67lb 6oz carp]

I believe they got a 50 from BF this year during a bow tourney it was either 50 or somewhere in the 40s I don't remember.

[The most newbie ever!]

Welcome to CAG you have found the best place to get TONS of info and plenty of good people.

[chub rod repair]

The tip eye is easy to change if you can find one of the same size. I just did the one on my sturgeon rod. Just heat up the old tip and twist it off clean it up and glue on a new one. Chub may send you a new tip so you don't have to send out the rod.

[Americans against bowfishing.]

+2 unless you're speaking of the People Eating Tasty Animals peta

[First Carp]

Congrats on your first carp. Looks like a nice one. But be prepared you have just opened a can that you will not be able to easily close again lol....

[Pack bait]

They're both the same. Put the plastic insert through the lead to protect your line. The larger hole closest to your hook. Line through lead and insert. Most leads and inserts are made for a size 8 barrel swivel to sit inside of the hole then your hook. That way if your line breaks they can still shake free from the lead.

[help spodding]

Also about using pack and spodding. My opinion your spod mix will bring them in and keep them feeding but I still use a method of some sort because that has a little added flavor and extra attraction directly to my hookbait. Just my .02

[First Ghost Carp - California Delta with Baitbucket (Mick)]

That's a awesome looking fish.... Congrats and it's always a good time spending time on the banks with Mick. With any luck I will be able to manage some time over that way with you guys.

[Any Sturgeon fishing tips for a newbie?]

Alex a 1/0 hook is much larger that a 8/0 big hook and a big chunk of fishy flesh tends to do the trick. Slimy I just run the hook through and push it up the line a little and run the hook through again. That way the bait stays on the hook but there is enough hook showing to get a good hook set. I also sometimes need to use some elastic string to keep some softer baits on.

Here is a little one my uncle caught think it was 10 or 12 foot I dont remember

[Ohio State Record!]

MarshallB the Idaho state record is a 67lb and change common and I am sure with the waters that are in Ohio they would have great chances of growing commons to those sizes.

[Any Sturgeon fishing tips for a newbie?]

I have never fished lake sturgeon but we have and fish White Sturgeon all the time. My sturgeon rigs are Xtra heavy 10' Ugly Sticks with Penn 330GT2 reels with 50lb Berkley big game high impact line. Most areas we fish require at least 8oz leads 1/0 hooks sometimes circle hooks when the bite is finnicky. My biggest sturgeon a 12'er barely made the rod tip twitch real soft bite and other times they bend the pole in half. The best baits are usualy cut bait from something they are used to eating. Trout, crappie, and the fish here LOVE the Green TRASH fish aka BASS lol..... We also use a lot of pickled squid. Oh forgot the sinker slides we use are plastic tubes with swivels on them set up a lot like we would use a lead clip.

When we fish from the boat you can sometimes see fish laying in a deep hole on the fish finder looks like a shelf across the bottom on the screen.

Good luck to you hope to see some pics soon. I have heard of guys back there using huge globs of nightcrawlers but everything else is going to be all over them too.

[longest carp?]

Good to see some more hogs from Scott beast of a fish.
