First Annual First Annual CT Carp Cast Off CT Carp Cast Off

Karl Pulaski recently took on the role as Connecticut State Chair and hosted his first event with THE FIRST ANNUAL CT CARP CAST OFF on Sunday April 20th. It was held at Union Pond which has plenty of carp in the 5 – 15lb range. The venue didn’t disappoint with RJ starting the day off catching a carp 10 minutes before the start.

We had a lot of fish showing when we got there but carp being like they are moved to the shallow end of the pond where there were a few smart anglers waiting to meet them. Here are the days highlights.

Heaviest fish went to Frankie Santos with a 10.03 lb common that earned him a Gold medal and a Sonik Cradle donated by carpanlger.com.

Overall weight went to Kristine Lovell with 5 carp for a combined weight of 29.01 lb. Kristine’s captures also landed her an invite to the FF3 CT River Shootout on the weekend of May 20th.

The smallest fish prize went to RJ earning him a 5lb bag of boilies donated by Lorenzo at Carp Bait USA. Thanks to all who attended especially Sam Williams (NY), Barry Howard (NY) and Jeffrey Pirog (NJ) for driving from far afield to join us.

Karl said they had quite a few people from the public show up bewildered by our beeping contraptions and he’s pretty sure we have a few new CAG members signing up. All in all it was a great day to catch up with everyone after a long dry winter and educate a few people on this fantastic sport.

Great job by Karl in organizing the event and putting together some great prizes and medals. Karl Pulaski says is looking forward to surprise everyone with new and innovative ways of holding events. That way we can draw even more people to catch and release carp fishing.
