    Used them on a campaign on a stretch of the CA delta several years ago with Baitbucket, we pre-baited heavily with them during the week and fished the weekend over the spots and did very well.

    Pack versus method; not for the humor challenged

    Got to agree with some of the fishing gear sold in the stores here, I'm betting in 50 years maybe 100 its the same stuff. Having said that I think it is more built for boat anglers or people that do the annual fishing trip in a pond stocked full and guaranteed to catch the limit in 1-2 hours. Whereas in Europe bank side angling rules and people go for a while so the companies know that and get stuck into it.

    So far as the debate on method vs Pack - 'horses for courses' maybe someone should write to the national geographic and get on that show king fishers- Pete Castle took on an American and a Costa Rican fishing for carp.

    I would agree with everything that Brooksy's said. Incidently Brooksy's aviator reminds me of Karl Hamers old CAG one from years ago...2004 or so, makes me think about how many people are not as active now or never renewed- I'm more then back, twins will do that to you, been fishing more then posting the past years, now I think it's back to the arm chair, albeit missing many fallen greats;) I don't recognize hardly anyone from when I was last here.

    Bait Question

    Pineapple is a great flavour for carp if the catfish and turtles don't find them first, but thats living in California. I personally have a preference for mainline baits, more of a confidence thing really, i also shy away from fish meals if possible I have also never done all that well on dynamite baits or any usa brands except the original boilie shop which is now out of biz- better yet make your own the cc moore ingredients are exceptional and the results are far better and you know exactly what's in them and the satisfaction from catching on your own is very rewarding. Some of the big brands now put an expiration date on the bags- I have seen that on nash or mainline I can't speak on behalf of other brands.

    so the regional sections are members only now

    The answer to your question is yes. FYI, there is a lengthy discussion on that topic here: See here

    I am very impressed with Paul Garner's posting on this thread. Please read and draw your own conclusion.

    Is there a buisness plan as to what the extra funds would be applied towards if say 2000 members joined up at $25.00 each. I have seen the rise and fall of the CAG and although not opposed to re-joining feel that the organisation has the right people on the plane but in the wrong seats. Perhaps Paul Garner should become an advisor.

    From a regional stand point, with perhaps 4-5 regular anglers it isn't like I can't ring one of them up and ask them how they got on :) Also people might let their guard down and overdo the regional report and over indulge information just for some eaters to join anyway...$25 is cheaper then safeway.

    Rules?

    why are 9 out of 10 carp fishermen complete wankers in CA?, Could it be something in the water?

    Not necessarilly, just the high profile ones. :)
