    Last weekend I landed a 18+ lb ghostie, only to realize I had snagged it behind the pectoral fin. I honestly felt I was pulling in a flathead catfish in against the current until I netted the carp. The hook popped right out and the fish swam away. I would like to consider that fish as being "caught" .

    :D so we both tied ..

    RESULTS - 2017 Wisconsin Carp Championship - Two Rivers, Wisconsin

    Jaffar--I'm not sure if it's a funding problem, an oversight, or just an obstinate reaction, but there has been no positive response to my request for a complete listing of 2017 Wisconsin Carp Championship results on the Wisconsin Carp Championship Facebook Page. In fact, my requests have been deleted, twice, and someone has manipulated settings for that page so that I am not allowed to make any more comments/requests. I guess I'm banned for asking for results.  That censoring tactic is odd, since my request simply seeks some information about tournament results, and it's been nearly three weeks since the conclusion of the 2017 Wisconsin Carp Championship. As a nine-year participant of the event, I sincerely hope some results will be forthcoming.

    Those of us placing 11th through 35th don't know how we finished, and some of us would like to know. All of us, not just the winners, paid a relatively substantial entry fee and spent double or triple that for food, lodging, fuel, etc. in the Two Rivers area. I don't think a request for a summary of all results is too much to ask in return. A participant's expectation of a timely and accurate listing of full results is not only reasonable but should also be standard operating procedure and high on the list of an organizer's post-tournament priorities and responsibilities.  Take a look, for example, at Wild Carp Classic results.  Their scoring system is much more time consuming, yet they post full results within a couple hours of the event's conclusion.

    Thorough results also pique interest and motivate future participation. If organizers have a rational reason for not posting results, I'd like to know; but I currently don't understand why a clear and simple request for information goes both unheeded and, worse, deleted with a reactionary, censoring tactic.

    Most of the comments by others on the Wisconsin Carp Championship Facebook page, including suggestions, requests, etc., have been deleted as well.   I'm not sure what's going on.  I've made an inquiry about these issues and related tournament results to the Two Rivers Business Association. 

    Yes, it's just carp fishing, but it would just be helpful if we had a little more information after spending two or three days in Two Rivers, Wisconsin.  There was a promise to me, on the WCC Facebook page, that a full summary of results would be posted on Thursday, June 8.  The results never came and the promise has been deleted.

    Hope all is well with you and yours. --Frank

    I agree with you frank ..its quite a time and money that goes into this and we should see details of pegs and results by day.. but it was TRBA wants to do? 

    information/data is key , having full results - and discussion where people speak out - suggestions goes long way in future planning . Apart from all results i would be very interested to see the all the pegs/anglers for both day - its simple 1 page so a photo will also do.. we could see how those pegs played out both days .. might not be same every year but it kinda give you little more info on how the pegs worked out in tourney.

    there were lot of good comments - suggestions this time around that would serve well in future .. i remember yours comment on some mandatory fee so a late drop out will leave something on table .. i may not be correct but i guess there was quite a drop out at kewanee and also some at two rivers . Tim R has some interesting points on fish runs there .. it would also be informative to people just planning a fishing trip there...

    I still like to think it was some kinda issue with messages being cleared out - but if it was intentional its does not taste good to me .  

     

    All well here and Hope you all doing good ..

    +++ this point ..

    "No one Bait is ever really better than another. Timing of how and when a bait a used and how it presented in conjunction with what is happening in the water and environment can determine and make any bait the best bait at a given moment....that's why fake corn can win tournaments, boilie introduction can make a crappy spot hold fish after some time, corn can produce instant bites, pack and puff can run up the numbers, and bread or a night crawler can produce when nothing else will.." 

    Dont catch me here - I'm still a learner...

    small personal experience - I started to fish local for carp in 2012 at one park here - I fish two sides say A and B .. the spot B would run best - 9/10 times i catch fish there... spot A only about 30yards away occasional catch no long cast fish the shore say about 4yards about  Over time I observe on quite days summer days the fish coming close there was a tree with brid nest ..they group up these to eat of what spills out food- bird poop whatever..  I fish plain corn or whatever you can catch them.. just find their feeding spot. Again the style of fishing matters and I dont completely agree you have to give them loads of boilies to get them .. I see it in two ways

    # if you are fishing method - pack or whatever with food ..then anything oh hook may work .. anything I mean anything ...I even got a take on black piece wood. while fishing method ...(dont know better word to describe it ) ..

    # if you are going boilie only fishing at venue new to boilies - they you may need some amount of freebees.

    It's a trick question....

    In carp fishing you are using one or multiple bait items to to a multitude of things depending on how long you are planning to fish....

    ATTRACTOR BAIT or Scent to bring carp into the area you are fishing. Much like the smell you get when approach a restraunt.

    FEEDING BAIT usually something small and scented that will induce a curious fish to maybe test, taste or induce some feeding. Like the small candies or peanuts at the counter of a bar or restraunt to get you to start feeding.

    HOLDING BAIT A recognizable food that the carp have some confidence in as a safe and recognizable food that is appropriate for the area and will keep carp in that area feeding...remember each age group and size group of carp has different needs, desires, behaviors and feeding patterns.  That's why restraunts.... have a menu with a variety of items on it.

    PRESENTATION BAIT/ HOOK BAIT this is in some cases one or two or even three different baits or combinations of bait/scent/textures used to make a carp put your hook bait in its mouth. Much like a chef presents a diner on a plate....arrangement and style can determine interest, and which part of the plate gets the attention first...arrangements what sometimes gets left till last or not at all....

    No one Bait is ever really better than another. Timing of how and when a bait a used and how it presented in conjunction with what is happening in the water and environment can determine and make any bait the best bait at a given moment....that's why fake corn can win tournaments, boilie introduction can make a crappy spot hold fish after some time, corn can produce instant bites, pack and puff can run up the numbers, and bread or a night crawler can produce when nothing else will...

    No bait is a substitute for knowledge and practicing your skill... the hardest part is to keep learning after one technique works for you....a lot of one trick ponies will tell you one bait is better than another....it really will be up to you!

     

    very value info Larry ...
