If you haven't done this before, make sure you get out there.

Cedar Hill State Park- Joe Pool Lake.
9am-12Noon, Then immediately following the Kids Stuff, we'll have our own fishin...ULTRALIGHT GEAR ONLY!!!

JP UL'ing is a blast, and a REAL challenge. Get you 6# Gear ready and let's do this thing.

I'll update the specifics as we get closer to the event, but I wanted to remind everybody of this date before anything else got scheduled at the same time.

Chad

I like to fish the Euro and just pull em directly out of the water at range. They look so funny flying all the way to the bank.

Lmao, awesometown. I want some pictures of that!

You want to have lots of fun with those smaller carp use a good long cane pole! that is what I do in the creeks around my hunting properties and it is a blast!

Chad sorry that I won't be able to help with this event. Gone to New York 10th through the end of the month. It sounds like a great time.

I will be taking Miranda. It will sure be fun!

BTW, it was in this tournament, 3 years ago, that Miranda and I got to experience carping for the first time.

Credit goes to Mark and Chad for allowing us to fish with them.

hopefully i'll get to go this time. my fishing buddy has a couple of boys under 5 that love to fish. so i'll make sure to invite them.

My brother is getting married that day, so I'm out.

I am in for baiting hooks and releasing fish.

I think I'll have some kiddos out to enjoy this. I'd be more than happy to help.

Team McGullicutty will be signing autographs and taking picture will all the kids. lol

TTT
Y'all Make It Happen!!

Scottevil: There's more to it than baiting and unhooking...You can untangle lines, save rods that get pulled into the water, and go for a ride on the Game Warden Boats.

Chad

I definitely plan to be there this year.

TTT

I'm going to start prebaiting soon!

Chad

I've wanted to come to this event for the past couple years, but my kids have soccer that day at 9 a.m. Maybe another year.

Sorry to hear it Brett, I hope to make it this year.

when are you getting the rods to re spool them Chad?

Next two weeks.

I'll make a post when I have them.

Chad

OK, I'm going to get the rods on Tuesday or Wednesday and will plan on stringing them Thursday night (May 8th) or Monday night (May 12th). What works for y'all?

I'd really like to do it at the park (Cedar Hill State Park), but really we can do it anywhere that we have room. My house will work if we can't do it at the park.

All those who want to help restring/re-rig the rods, let me know what you want to do.

Thanks,

Chad

I will help in any way needed.

We might jump in the car after our 9:00 soccer games and try to come to the event for the last hour or so.

Questions:

• Can we continue to fish after 12:00?
• What other activities are there?
• Where in the park is it held?

Thanks.

Chad, is that your lake record?

yep, big ole 12# that I will break eventually since Chad doesn't fish anymore

...no shti...

Yep, and my son has the junior record. I've seen one fish bigger caught out of there, and I think Zach had a 14 from back in the day.

Chad

After 12- I'm hosting a fish-in, Come on!
Activities- The highlight is the ride on the Game Warden boats, but there is swimming allowed in the swimming area on the other side of the park.
Where?- All the way to the Left. It is in the big picnic area before the Kiddie Perch Pond.
