Several of you have been kind enough to share some potential Georgia Carpin’ spots with me. I appreciate all the info that I receive. Thanks to Seeinstripes our group is trying to get up a Campin’/Carpin’ trip across from Ga Power’s Plant on Lake Sinclair sometime soon.
Many of you have fished and continue to fish Bass Tournaments and I know they are very enjoyable. For your information I’d like to share about a little ol’ Carp Tourney that will be held in Austin Texas in about 40 days. This will be my first tournament so I am very excited! Please read on for more details!

Austin Team Championship

Call me crazy but.....

I've even written a Poem about the tourney!


40 Days ‘til Austin

Some will travel very far…………some as far as Boston
Some have been there every year….some not near as often
Some have talked up quite a game while others are soft spoken
All I know is when I look I see 40 days ‘til Austin.

I’ve never been but from my reading some just come to party
Others come to meet old friends and share from heart to hearty (sorry �)
Some come to catch the biggest Carp that they have ever caught.
Others bring the finest gear that they think can be bought.

Many come for braggin’ rights to show that they’re the best!
There is nothing they like better than to beat upon their chests!
Some just come to take it in, to see Carpin’ in its glory
All, I feel, will go home Sunday, filled with his own story.

Some will fish with kernel corn while others fish the Method
Some will pack and goop and glug and some will fish a hair rig.
A dough ball here a Boilie there will be hooked on with zest
but everyone will be convinced that his way is the best.

In 40 days from all around, from Texas up to Boston……
90 CAGers will converge upon a lake called Town in Austin.
