Hey guys! Our first event for the Wild Carp Club of North Texas is coming up! It'll be on Saturday, February 11 at Lakeview park on Lake Grapevine.
32.980516, -97.09646
Lakeview's a pretty large park and it holds a lot of buffalo in the 15-20lb range plus commons and the occasional mirror.

Anglers will earn scores based on the weight and type of Carp caught during club sessions. Scores will accrue over the course of 8 sessions and year-end prizes will be awarded.

Participants must be at least 16 years of age and hold a valid Texas Freshwater Fishing License. Children under 16 are welcome to attend and fish, though their scores will not be counted toward season point totals. Also, if anyone wants to do a side pot for biggest carp/buff we're considering doing one running alongside the point totals.

Anglers are welcome to arrive and depart at any time during club sessions—just check in and out with club directors (Rick Wilson and Myself).
Wild Carp Club may be competitive in nature, but it is mostly about having fun and meeting fellow anglers. Always maintain good sportsmanship and be courteous to other club members.

Lets get a roll call to see who's all gonna make this one

What are the hours? Weather permitting, I will try to be there.

You can show up anytime and leave anytime you feel.The hours are from 7-5.

how is this done peg draw style or walk off?

I think it'll be just pick wherever you want to set up within a reasonable distance from where Rick and I will be set up

ok so earlier the better.

I'd get there about 7 but there's a LOT of bankspace and all of it has pretty deep water and a channel at about 100 yards so there aren't really any bad spots there

good luck

good luck yall!

Thanks!!!!! I hope everyone catches some fish.It will be 1 point per ounce for common carp and smallmouth buffs.And if you get a mirra then its 2 points per ounce.So hope for great weather that weekend everybody.

ill be there if nothing comes up in the meantime

I plan on being there.

Again I will ask why none of these events are on Sundays. There are a fair few of us who work Saturdays. Com on WCC organize some events for those guys too.

I am a maybe.

I'm looking at being there unless something happens or comes up unexpectedly

Have fun guys!

Never expected this much interest! We're currently trying to work out finding a location with enough bank space that isn't flooded

Also as of right now we're thinking about pegging this one, just to keep everything fair.

Just to stick this in as it could be a possible issue. NO prebaiting swims whatsoever.

stinky beaver can handle that many people

Never been over there. Where is it on the lake?

stinky beaver

its in that park i believe

Okay, I have to ask.
Was a carp fisherman fishing there one day, and a beaver corpse happen to be on the bank?

Wow. Stinky Beaver huh?

I think maybe when the lake was new, a guy took his girlfriend there and things got....nevermind

actually yes lmao, it was me,kevin mark and i think someone else i cant remember who, but there was a dead beaver that had washed up on a tree limb. kevin decides he is gonna poke it with a stick and try to push it out in the water, well it busted and nearly killed us all from the smell. it was funny and horrid at the same time.

there has been some nice high teens to 20 caught there but there is a few snags. water is fairly deep there too. i havent been there since 2007. there may or may not be a park entrance fee.

5 buck entry fee now
