Carp fishing conference -Montreal 2013



    The two big carp fishing associations in Montreal,Carp Quebec and Les Pecheures urbaine ,come together and organize the first fishing conference for 2013 .
We have a good response ,18 anglers show up for 3 hours of information and technique in carp fishing .
Many thanks to Carp Kit and CCMoore for the courtesies of sending same bait samples .
We start with basic information on types of carp ,where they live ,what they eat .Then move on to localisation in specific areas ,mostly on rivers ,this is the most common areas we fish .
From this we go to tackle ,simple rigs ,set ups with different leads ,mono ,lead core . Basic information on different rods and reels ,with presentation of different models .
Then we move on baits ,and show different types of boilies mixes ,method mix , pellets ,boilies ,particles ,plastic baits .
On the end we answer questions from all the participants .
The interest for carp fishing is growing very good ,with a lot of new anglers coming to the sport .Our big problem is a lack of tackle and bait in Montreal area ,the single way of buing this, is by ordering on line from Carp Kit ,or USA and UK based shops .
With the big numbers of carp anglers on our area , is hope for a tackle shop with good bait and tackle .
With the big interest show after the first conference ,we decide to do a second one ,in a bigger location ,where we can accommodate 40 to 50 persons .



On the second conference we will go deeper on types of bait ,baiting techniques ,watercraft and tackle .
