2014 Wild Carp Club of Houston Introduction

 Introduction

OK people, so here is a secondary place to put information about the Wild Carp Club of Houston's 2014 season. The Wild Carp Club is a core group of dedicated carp anglers who practice the sport of catch and release carp fishing in Houston. First formed in 2012, we're heading into our third season with the mission to increase the popularity of carp fishing as a sport.

Schedule

We will hold several free fish-ins this year in two different formats. The first format is a learn and catch format, where we'll be fishing lakes that are known to be good producers of large quantities of fish. I will be prebaiting ahead of time for these sessions to increase our catch rate.  The focus of these sessions is to introduce new anglers to different methods of catching carp as well as some of the carp specific gear that is available today. 

The second format will be two overnight "sessions" from Friday evening to Sunday morning. These will be at locations further away from Houston where larger fish roam.  These camping/fishing sessions really allow the angler to test their skills of setting up a swim and attracting and keeping schools of feeding fish in front of them.  Not to mention the camaraderie and camping that goes along with it!

Lastly, the season will be broken up into two separate parts.  The first part from March to May and the second from August to October.  There will be one event each month on a Sunday with the exception of the over night events.  March, April, August, and September will be day sessions while May and October will be overnight sessions with hopefully cooler weather.

New Year's Resolution 2014

Hello everybody. Just a quick post after a few month break. I apologize I haven't provided anything interesting to read lately. I thought I'd share a few New Years Resolutions to kick things off in 2014. First of all, I'm going to do a better job of writing up my trips and posting other interesting things to this blog. I recently bought some new memory cards so my goal is to post more pictures and videos. Secondly, another fishing resolution is to fish more overnight trips this year. That may mean less day/short trips, which dominated my 2013. I find these trips to be hit or miss mainly. I usually catch, but not necessarily what I would consider "a lot." So those are my New Years Resolutions for 2014. Get ready to read more interesting reports and product reviews this year!
