The weekend of SEPTEMBER 17 and 18 2016 We  will see the return of Carp Fishing to the Rock River with the "DIXON FAMILY CARP DERBY"

 

 

Back for the seventh year in a row.....Carp Fishing Now with the help of the City of Dixon, Dixon Tourism, and the Dixon Parks Department will be holding a Catch and Release family style carp derby open to the public. People of all ages are welcome, children must be accompanied by an adult. Cost is $45 for the Advanced Division, $15 for Adults/AmatureDivision and $5 for children 13 and under for the Boys and Girls Divisions. There will be cash and/or prizes for the 20 largest carp caught as well as for the top five for the girls and top five boys catagory. Currently there is a total of over $2,500.00 in cash and prizes to be awarded. So make sure you come out to win big!!! Raffles and kids prizes too!!!!

 

 

The hope is to give people a chance to win big, enjoy the Dixon Downtown and Parks and get people to experience the majesty of the Rock River.

 

 

Check in is at the PAGE PARK PAVILLION on Page Drive in Page Park just East of the High School in Dixon Illinois and will be open at 6am on Saturday September 17th and 6am on Sunday September 18th., 2016. All who attend will need to sign in before starting to fish. The actual fishing schedule is 8am to 4pm Saturday September 17th, and 8am to 2pm September 18th, followed by the awarding of prizes at 2:30pm (GIVE OR TAKE)

at the Page Park Pavillion. You do not need to fish the entire time to quality for the big fish prizes.

 

 

There will be demonstrations of new carp fishing methods as well as how to "Helpers" to give you moral support and fishing advice if you need it. And for those who want to see a "REEL" spectacle, there will be Professional Carp Anglers fishing against each other in a Advanced Category inter-mixed throughout the Derby area. There will also be stewards and Industry Specialists walking around and  offering insights to the novice anglers fishing the Family category's. Here spectators will be able to walk up to the Shore anglers and see why Carp Fishing in Europe is as big as Bass fishing in the USA, truly something you haven't seen before and won't forget.

For those of you unfamiliar with the Dixon Carp Derby this is our Seventh (7th) Year. 

The event is open to all who appreciate and respect Catch and Release Carp Angling and conduct themselves as Good Sportsmen and Sportswomen.

This is an open Derby so expect people to move, fish close by, and  to sometimes tangle lines if you fish by the dam or other more popular spots (rarely are these winning spots.).

Don't forget besides the Amature,  Boys and Girls Division there is the 

ADVANCED DIVISION for the hard core carp anglers which is based on your Three Largest Carp.

Entry to the Advanced Division is $45.00 ($30 is added to the payout pool which is already primed at  $600.00 before any entrees to insure the Advanced Division Pays more than the Amature event PLUS!!!! YOU ARE STILL ELIGIBLE TO WIN THE  GRAND CHAMPION TROPHY AND $500 additional for Catching the Largest Carp of the Combined events......!!!

With Less than 20 Advanced Anglers you have the potential to win over $1000.00 !!!

Because of the nature of 5th combined event and the areas of fast water remember there is  no loose baiting allowed other than 8oz. of canned corn per day, hand introduced only. Method, PVA, PACK-Mix, and boilie strings are accepted as long as the cast is intended to fish.....not to bait-up.

If your not here, You are missing out

 Perfect weather, lots of fish, great company, and an atmosphere friendly to all carp anglers. So far we have 61 anglers hundreds of fish, a big fish at 15-6 and the smallest in the money fish at 5-10. Advanced division big three is 30-6 currently.

Great fishing expected tomorrow, come on out, like Grahme Johnston's Fantail
