2004 Ohio CAG September Carp Challenge Tournament

[tpet96]

***NOTE: Folks, since the latest NACA came out, we had to change the format of the challenge. It was originally going to be for 3 days. After confering with the ODNR, we were advised to have our challenge during daylight hours for safety of the anglers in this area. Not saying anyone is in danger with the new setup, because they are not, but just advised not to be there after dark. Anyways......below is the updated format. I will be contacting registered individuals thus far to inform of changes.***

i wouldn't fish there in the day :D alone at least.

i have heard of too many people getting ganked
over little stuff,iam not about to part with my kit ;)
if you have a stunner,pistol, spray i advise you bring it.
the CPD aint going to be around to protect and relying
on the ODNR is suicide,so keeps the heat locked and
cocked.

[atrkyhntr]

gezzzz thats crap if I ever heard it... :rolleyes:

[tpet96]

Greg,

That place is fine in daylight. Been there a few times. Nothing wrong with daytime. No different than any other state park in Ohio.

[PAYARA]

i know,just having some late night fun ;)
i have been there a few times,and it is patroled.
i really do not think fishing at night would be a
problem either,maybe if you were alone but not
in a group.

[tpet96]

Likely not, but was advised by the DNR personally not to do that.....so that's why I changed it. Not going to put anyone in jeopardy on my watch.

[fishingful]

i have a great story about edge water.........a budy of mine and his dad and friends were going duck hunting out on the walls at 4 or so in the morning his dad ran the first group of guys out and they were in the other truck this tinted window car came up and shut off its lights his dad came back at about the same time and 6 guys piled out of this truck grabed their shotguns out of the back and needless to say the car took off ........i think they were looking for trouble but the boys in the car had to be craping their pants i agree with tpet beter safe than sorry..........jim

[ohioiceman]

Fish from 0500-2200 you will be fine.

[atrkyhntr]

I hope you have nets with 15ft extentions...
Are we talking edgewater here???
I have never had a problem there and have had the kids out well into the night and early morn...
I do remember how it was in the not too distant past though :eek:

The new format should work out fine except now everyone will need a place to stay overnight :(

[ohioiceman]

get a pier net if you can,30"dia,48"deep,50ft rope works for me. You will run into some zebras,rocks,weeds,mud,sand,waves...big waves,wind,no wind,shallow water,deep water. Bring rain gear even if it's nice,if the wind comes up and your on the rocks you are the wave break. Don't even waste time with backleads unless your on the sand,if you fish from the pier don't use bolt rigs,running rigs seem to be more sensitive with the steep angle and you will hook more fish. blah blah blah ok I'll quit yapping now. If anyone wants to stay at my place they are more than welcome I got a double reclining couch,reclining chair, extra bedroom with full size bed,5 self inflating mats,2 full baths,garage for gear,and a wife that is used to nasty stuff cooking in the kitchen so if you need to make fresh bait it's cool.

"The Iceman Fisheth"

[atrkyhntr]

Super Offer :D

THANKS for "yapping" ;)

[Miso_Ohio]

Good to hear from you IceMan, haven't seen you on the boards in a while.
