well..i figured out what took mikes rod, because it happened to me this AM..i had my bait inches from the shore sitting in about 1inch of water..took a nap, and woke up to a bleep from my alarm..went over just to make sure everything is ok, low and behold, my freakin rods was laying halfway in the lake..both of them!! after trying to get the tangled mess undone i felt some twitches on the line..yep, you got it..a carp was at the end of the rod..the thing couldn't have been 10inches..geeeeeze..
never again will i leave the bait in the water while i'm not fishing..
PS..the fish was crashing themselves on the bank, mopping every morseld of food there..ya shoulda heard what crashing at bob's spot after he left..i'm talkin right there on the bank.. :eek:

Yes it was a good time, it was cold but it was a good time. Met some new faces that I have never met before and met some old friends. Lots of fish caught, I don't think anybody blanked, nothing huge but they where all srappers, they fought like they where twice thier size. A good venue, if we go next year the park officer explained how we could go about getting a permit that would allow us to drive down and park right next to the water.

I will not go into much more detail then that, because I am sure Shawn is working on a review and I don't want to spoil his thunder. Marqoius (sp?) has changed my mind about French people, I don't hate them all now he had some interesting techniques and I hope to see him at more Carp-Ins, he was an all around good guy. In quick summary, this one picture about sums up the whole event.

Sometimes a picture says a thousand words, this was Paul Binkley and his son, yes that little guy reeled that fish in all by himself :) I wish you all could of been there to see it.
