I could use that list to filter down for MN :-). Looking forward to seeing it. Thank you.

I am starting to look at dates for our first MN Fish In (April). I will be hosting a second fish in in Summer as well. So far, people seem to be really interested in hats since it promotes a conversation and one size fits all :-)
Requesting:
- CAG hats (3 hats should do) . Will spread out at prizes for fish ins.
- Medals (Gold Silver Bronze for fish ins. These will be used when fish ins have more people)
Address: Sending you PM.

Anyone who's been fishing for a substantial amount of time and has never pricked themselves with a hook or fallen on a muddy bank, is probably too scared to admit it :-)
Glad your pulled muscle wasn't worse than it could have been.
-
Do we have an anticipated date when prizes will be shipped out? Just wondering.

Very nice looking fish. I really hope the water warms up here in MN soon. Fished the swollen mississippi last night after work. 4 screaming runs- all happened to be stick fish. Gave up after that. Simply too much debris in river right now.

Is this going to be fishing from shore?
Bullheads caught in April in good water can be pretty tasty.
Yes, it will be from shore. Am sure you can have a feast with all the bullheads we catch :-)

I'm currently scheduled that day but if I can switch I will try to be there
Mike, hope you can make it. Should be a fun day. If we have a small turnout, we might have the fish in from the dock. Otherwise we can utilize a lot of bank space by on the other side of the lake.

Sorry Jaffar. I cannot let you beat my PB :-)

It's already on the calendar. It will be a good practice run before any of the larger tournaments.The lake has plenty of 20's and possibly some beasts.
Looking to see who all are interested. It will be in Brownton MN. If weather permits, we might even fish overnight after the fish in is over.
Free event. I'm trying to get some prizes for largest carp caught. Maybe a prize for the largest bullhead caught (though I know I will win this one given my luck with bullheads)
If you are unable to message on CAG email me at weltravelled@yahoo.com .

donkey choker high attract boilies
Would a glugged tennis ball on a 7 inch hair be considered a donkey choker?

I often use a lot of flavors in rivers, but less or none on lakes (in my packs/pva etc). In the end, some flavors and contraptions are really for the carp angler and less for the carp. It gives us something to tinker with, something to mix and match-have a story to tell. I do think that some flavor makes a difference when there are other people fishing near by. You can attract fish towards your swim and away from others. I feel that though flavor can tune in carp to your swim, they are all just looking for nutrition. But at the same time, adding sweet corn to your pack will draw in a lot of carp and sweet corn has no real nutritional value.
Overall- sweet, salty and spicy are 3 things I focus on for flavoring pack/method/pva mixes. In the end,all of those flavor profiles can be met from a grocery store isle. I know I don't need to keep buying flavors from tackle shops, but I still end up shelling out $ every time.
In the end, we do tend to overthink things. The most fun I've ever had fishing has been using a split shot, a hook and half a worm. I've caught countless fish with this setup. I've had great luck with bread, maggots etc. If we are all fishing for fun, we should all be using the simplest setup and simply enjoy the experience of fishing. But, we all enjoy making things complicated :-)
The end.

very cool!

It all depends on the day, the wind, the water. I can tell you what works for me in each season, but that will never match what works for someone else. The best way is to keep a strict fishing log and see what works over time.
Sweet corn, salt,spices work for me year round. Everything else is trial and error
-
When nothing else bites, a size 12 hook with a 10mm glugged popup can do wonders :-)
Otherwise Korda 4 and 6 seem to work really well

I have a brand new rig wallet sitting around, which I don't plan to use. I have a post under the tackle trade section.

that's a beautiful location. Nothing wrong with a blank :-)

I don't do waders. I just jump into lakes ..haha

CT has every day off. He lives on a lake, sleeps all day and dreams about fishing. What a life! :-)
-
Haha. Jerome should see the responses I get from DNR when I ask any questions about carp
:-) -
I fish a warm water discharge from a nuclear plant. It's funny to see bass fishermen in waders standing in chest deep water when it's 5 degrees outside, but the water is over 75 degrees there. The problem is, that stretch of river is absolutely full of boats and bass fishermen and it makes catching carp very difficult since there is so much disturbance. I did see a couple of 20+ pigs caught there a few weeks ago but they were snagged. My bite alarms stayed silent though :-(

I've been skunked 3 times this winter and really need to get my net wet :-). Ice out shouldn't be far..in minnesota as well.
