    CCC 2015 Sponsors

    in CCC 2015

    Posted

    Most of the tournaments I fish do not list all of the prizes. They will list a few of the big ones of course, often as a form of advertisement for the sponsors which the sponsors always like. But the only time I've seen a complete list of every tiny little item is Frank's J-town tournaments.

    Don't get me wrong I think it's awesome Frank does that and I wish everyone did, but it's not the usual.

    You're mistaken on both counts, Bill, but thanks, as always, for your efforts as organizer. If you prefer, as organizer, that I stop this fundraiser, please let me know. I'd respectfully comply with your request. You are the organizer. --Frank

    just the right amount of rope laid out, will it be used? Stay tuned for the next episode of As the Carp Turns.

    you can hang a bobber from your line between two guides and rotate the hook part so it doesn't insert itself all the way and lets the line run through it. I use the bobbers that have built in weights. When the fish takes it just unhook the bobber when you pick up the rod. Quick cheap and effective.

    It's not as cool as alarms but it's actually more accurate. You can detect the tiniest vibration. Stick a lantern under the bobbers for light and voila.

    Also the 100 dollar eBay 4 alarm kits work just fine.

    Your rods and reels are fine. More expensive gear isn't going to help you catch any more fish.

  8. Visability of posted pictures

    FYI when using third party image hosting sites like photobucket and imgur eventually those photos will be deleted and then the posts will have no pictures at all. It's a huge problem on many sites.

    By far it's better for posterity to upload here locally as an attachment and then use the add to post button.

    Thanks Frank!

    Yes the kayaker died in the same tournament I was in at Manitowoc on Saturday. I knew him in passing, I fished 3 or 4 different tournaments this year where he was also a competitor. We're having a memorial for him Sunday in Naperville and raising some funds for his future son - his girlfriend is pregnant and due in two weeks. http://www.lucidfishing.com/max-memorial.html

    Was the saddest thing I've ever seen when they brought his body back on the coast guard cutter and the dad had to identify it as his son. I suppose kayaking the big pond is not for the faint of heart.

    Hooks

    The ebay carp hooks work just fine. All these expensive hooks aren't way stronger lol. Geeze. With the proper drag setting you can land almost any carp on a gold aberdeen panfish/crappie hook.

    Octopus Circle Hooks

    I spent all last week fishing for catfish using boilies on a hair rig on circle hooks. works great. circle hooks work just fine for carp, too. So do regular hooks. Maybe hook up a few more with carp specific hooks, but if there is any difference I sure can't tell.

    Grass carp on the fly

    Thanks! I'll definitely try a grasshopper fly. One issue I have is they are often so far out I can't see them well enough. A topwater fly wold be perfect.

    Do you just drop it in their face and let it sit or twitch it around?
