God needed someone to partner up with for the ETC (Evangelical Team Championship) and Richard was the best qualified. RIP

Now I’d like to share with you the story I shared with them (http://9thcivic.com/forum/threads/fishing-big-fish.8427/). For long time forum users all these pics will be familiar for I haven’t been able to go on any personal big carp fishing trips this year.
By the way, there is one picture I shared with them that is not mine. A long time ago a Texas CAG member shared this picture (I’m not 100% sure it was now) and I liked it so much that I saved it. I don’t use bite indicators in my fishing but if I did, I’d definitely use these. I think these belong to a gentleman named “Rick”…could be wrong for I honestly don’t remember now. But if anyone knows these alarms or “Rick”, please send him my compliments.
I took the picture while fishing with him (Rick) on October 7th of last year at a little pond we call Ghostie here in Texas. I liked the way his hangers looked, and as Neil can attest, I'm a certifiable tackle tart when it comes to taking pictures of rod pods and gear.

Did you practice "catch and release" with the fridge coil?
-
Do they have to be this summer, or summers past?

OK... Now I'm jealous! Think it's time for another trip to Austin...

You don't have to be crazy to join CAG and fish with us, but it helps.

Here's the chart from Power Pro's website. Hope it helps.

Beautiful mirror!

Once mixed right, the packbait will usually dissolve in just a minute or two, sometimes more depending on how long you want it to last. Mine usually breaks totally down within two minutes, but stays very well on the lead during casting. You can vary the amount of cream corn or liquid slightly to control when it "breaks". Too much liquid and it flies off during the cast. Too little and it won't break down at all. Just takes a little experimenting.

OH! I have SO got to get me one of those! And since I live in Weatherford, taking delivery is not a problem!

well done on the fish and also dealing with bow man. I could rant about bow fishing all day long but its your thread so will leave it at that.
also noted your comfy spot! campling in style is called glamping these days so why shouldn't your spot where you carp fish in comfort and glamour be called glarping?!!!!
GLARPING! I LOVE IT!

Who care's if it's raining as long as the fish are biting? I guess all of us were fighting turtles over the weekend. We were plagued with them all day Sunday.
That looks like a great spot. Would love to fish with you guys again. It's always a blast.

Awesome event! Can't wait to do it again.
Might have another team. My son Chris and his new wife Sydney are thinking about teaming up to have a go at it. Last two years him and I have fished as a team, but we made the mistake of taking her fishing and now she's hooked (pun intended), big time.

Almost always get my stuff overnight. Excellent service and wide selection. Hats off!

Having lived in Colorado (Montrose) for 15 years, I've seen my share of wildfires there. Pray for cooler weather, less wind and more rain. Rain? Here in Texas, we don't get no stinkin' rain...

We had several people come by last Saturday for our 2nd annual carp fishing seminar here on Weatherford Lake. Although the lake was very low, the slough we were fishing was still 10-15 feet deep. I threw out some boiled corn the evening before just to get the action going.
Come Saturday morning, we were on the bank and set up by about 7:00. Had the banner up by about 8:00. People started showing up shortly thereafter and kept coming on and off all day.
The day's first run came less than 30 minutes after we started and turned out to be a decent little 6 pounder. Most all the fish in this lake are small, but there's a lot of them. Largest is normally around 10 pounds. My cousin David landed this one since no one had shown up yet. He's new to carping but I'm trying to bring him over to "The Dark Side". Within the first two hours, we had caught probably 8 or 9 fish, all in the 5-9 pound range, with one tipping the scales at 11 pounds even, the largest I've seen come out of here.
Then the bite turned off for a few hours, giving us time to fix a few hot dogs and hamburgers. By then our wives had shown up to help out. About midday we had a small sprinkle that didn't even get the ground wet, but helped keep things cool. It never got uncomfortably hot, only being in the high 80s in the afternoon. Chris' wife Sydney even had to go wading up to her neck to free a rig from something that kept tangling her up. She lost three rigs to whatever it was before changing locations.
The fishing picked up again around three o'clock, with my daughter Brittany landing several fish. It was her first time fishing with us and she was excited to say the least. Not being used to 12' rods, it was comical at first watching her try to reel fish in, but she quickly got the hang of it.
Around three, I landed an unusual carp of about 7 pounds that had no barbels and a mouth similar to a bass. When closed, it almost looked like a bass, but when open looked like a normal carp. Even the coloring was more like a bass than a carp.
Just before closing it up for the day, I had a final run on one of my rods and started to run for it, but instead told my daughter Brittany to grab it. She did and I grabbed the net. My jaw dropped when a flash of orange came to the surface and she had her first ever goldfish at just a little over four pounds! She didn't realize what a big deal it was until later when she asked how many goldfish I had caught. None. Then she asked Chris. None. How about Neil? None again. I still haven't heard the end of her yet...
We finally packed it in around four when some of our guests had to leave. It was a wonderful day and can't wait to do it next year!

Congratulations! I used to live on the "Western Slope" of Colorado, in Montrose to be exact. I often wonder what kind of fish I could have caught back then if I'd only known...

Reuben Heaton Dial... No batteries to worry about & no display doing weird things at freezing temperatures.

At last the final word on which one is better. I was wondering myself...

Beautiful fish! Still waiting for my first koi...

How far can you chunk a method ball?

Neil has spent literally years cultivating good relationships with the "powers that be" here in Texas when it comes to carp fishing. They've even been bankside during the last two ATC tournaments here in Austin. Now they know how we fish and I would like to think they would ever allow that kind of regulation here.
Up in your neck of the woods, it's never too late to try inviting your local "game wardens" to a tournament or two and show them what's going on. At the very least, once they understand our sport, they might not be quite so quick to dole out punishment if you're caught.

Can't wait to take my three-year old granddaughter Raelyn out carping. She's went a couple of times, had her picture taken a time or two with fish, but never actually had a rod in the water. Will have to set her up a rod and take her soon. Do Delkims come in pink?

Three thousand feet deep? I'd have to get bigger reels. Maybe a stouter rod pod. Heavier line. Bigger hooks. Use a real bird cage for a feeder. Remix method so it wouldn't break down till it hit bottom (at least half and hour). I've spent enough already...
