That thing looks like it wants to poop so bad!!! I've been there.

Now I know why you don't bird hunt.   I truly appreciate the flattery. But there is not even a group of faithful followers working in shifts that can keep up with every post you make daily. We have jobs and families. 

But you did get me to thinking. And this in all honesty and not our playing around. 

What do you think about hosting a Carpfest at Wrenchville? 

I used to enjoy carp fishing as a kid. But not like you see being posted here. We had a cabin on Grand. Sometimes dad would bait a hole up Friday night when we got there and you could fish it all weekend. We would catch the snot out of them and channel and Buffalo. 

We could do the same at your area and just shoot the bull, drink beer and eat. It'll be better that chasing slicks in Dec. 

I'd be all in, but I honestly don't know of a truly good carp hole.  We have a bunch of pretty skilled bowfishers around here and even they go elsewhere these days.   If I absolutely had to catch a carp I'd probably visit one of these lakeside restaurants where they feed them and keep them around.   They'd probably throw a fit if we started harrassing their pets with hook&line.

Will there be a bow fishing division? 

Fly only.

There's some big ol'grassies at my favorite bluegill pond, but MDC owns it so we can't even drink a beer there 🙄

Wrench if you would get out there every day or two and dump a barrel of corn out for the next month or so, we could have a bonanza.

I remain uninspired. Can you make it sound more worthwhile in any way?

We can have a bonanza without even a single carp, I promise. 😄

So what, it's just someone's obese pet.

 Oh heck it would be a blast!  And you don't have to work anywhere near his hard as Jeff is trying to get you to. 

 In all honesty I know carp have a terrible reputation on this forum, but they are a freaking blast to catch! You should try it at least once.  And there's no better way to do it than with friends around to support you!
