Chris, try adding a little bit of vodka , it'll keep the anise oil in a liquid state

Thanks for the reply Larry

[RULES AND SUGGESTIONS --- 2015 DIXON CARP DERBY]

why cant we fish to the west of the Peoria street bridge, its been open to fishing ever since you started the tournament and now its not? whats up with that? and did you know that the south side of the river by the dam (river street) is under construction so that limits more area that you fish.JMHO

[Trip to Two Rivers,WI]

Thanks Frank, appreciate the response

[Kiwanee fishin]

how about august 15th , I know some of us would rather have a Saturday tourney than sun, plus it would probably bring in a couple more anglers. JMHO

[Trip to Two Rivers,WI]

I'm taking a small trip to the Two Rivers area, would like some input on where to fish in the west river. I'm going to be there from August 1 thru 3rd. This is my first time in the area fishing.

Thanks , Dave Marceau

Hi Russell, thanks for hosting this fun event. Loran, Sawyer, and I had a great time, didn't catch but one carp, but caught a lot of catfish to bring home and enjoy. Thanks again and cant wait for the next one

[Kiwanee fishin]

I will be there plus two others that I am bringing, is it possible that I fish with the other 2 being that it is my brother and his 7yr old son? we both keep an eye on him when fishing so we can help him out.

thanks ,Dave Marceau

[Kiwanee fishin]

Very interested, would be a fun time, just need some dates

[3rd Annual "5 Bridges" Carp Fishing Tournament 2015]

would love to fish this, but already have a previous engagement. Good luck to all who fish and may many BIG CARP bless your nets!!!!

[Power Pro Microfilament Braid]

I used the PP when I first started carp fishing and had nothing but trouble, if it wasn't breaking off on fish, I would have problems with wind knots while casting. I got rid of that crap ASAP!! went to using suffix 832 braid and haven't had any trouble since, it might cost a little more but it's worth it JMO. If I use any kind of mono it's Nash NXT D-CAM mono that you can get from BCT, that stuff doesn't break for nothing!! I've pulled limbs out of the swim with this, not small ones either, some were 6 inches in diameter and 4 ft long!!

[question]

if you flavored your bait you don't have to put the flavor in the water, a bit of a waste if you ask me
