Here are the details on the competition- Everyone is welcome! designated as flyfishing only with flies and only the waters wadeable from Grand Island are fishable. bass is open as well but the 5 lb smallies just want you to lose the Grand Island NY CARP-O-RAMA 2013® so don't be distracted. the only award is for longest carp. if you ain't first, you lost. once a Carp is landed the participant must cut a piece of tippet material the length of the fish. know for certain we are watching for accuracy. the latest news on the NSA should be enough to convince you. each participant can then turn in one piece of tippet as their entry. This year this method will be the only one acceptable to win. Everyone has tippet material on them and if you want to win, do it properly. None of this, "well it went from near the lower part of the reel seat to close to this guide crap". cut a piece of tippet or the fish does not count. RECOMMENDED GEAR- 7-9 wt rods floating line and at least one spare leader. 8-12lb tippet. polarized glasses. small crayfish flies, hex type nymphs, clouser swimming nymphs, damsel/dragon nymphs, merkins and wooley buggers are all good choices for flies. the water will be chilly still so waders are highly recommended for wading and tick protection for the state parks (Tick Island) areas. this is a serious note- there are LOTS of ticks on GI and participants should be aware and inspect themselves afterward(or use it as an excuse to have a "friend" help). sun screen wouldn't hurt either and bring a good supply of water. we will meet at 9 am at the Fix Rd overlook (West River Parkway) on GI and be fishing by 10. this year i'm also requiring that participants be registered at the morning meeting. if you cannot make the meeting and still wish to participate then you may pre-register by sending me a PM here. no showing up late and winning, Ryan.

"we will meet at 9 am at the Fix Rd overlook (West River Parkway) on GI and be fishing by 10."
Psycho Timbo and I were talking last night, The friggin' boats and jet skis are nuts already this year, and the shore mud line gets bad.
We thought Participants should vote here on fishing @ 9:00 (or earlier?)
I know young Chumps (Ryan..)have trouble getting out of bed, but lets vote on it.
I think it increases the sight fishing odds and gives more shots at that winning PIG.
Tournament Chairmen of the board (Nick)? What do ya' think?

I like earlier. We could even do a mobile check in now that everyone is rocking smart phones these days.
