Carptown To Host 2009 WI Carp Championship!

The 2009 Wisconsin Carp Championships will be held on May 30 & 31, at the most exciting carp fishing venue in the US; "Carptown, USA"! Also known as the City of Two Rivers, WI, this sleepy Lake Michigan shoreline community has been known as "Carptown" for more years than anyone there cares to remember; but now they are dusting off the name and wearing it with pride, as the rising sport of catch & release Carp Fishing comes to their town.

Two Rivers really does sit on... two rivers; with the West Twin and the East Twin rivers running through the center of town. The rivers provide easy marina access into the vastness of Lake Michigan, allowing a thriving charter industry to store their Salmon, Lake Trout and Brown Trout record-catching boats snugly away from the storms that occasionally blow across this inland sea.

But there's one fish that runs up these rivers every April, May and June that the charter skippers don't fish for, but see every year... totally wild, monster-sized Carp. That's the big draw for the 2009 WI Carp Championships; the chance to tangle with a WI-record sized fish (current record is 57lb 2oz), or catch enough fish to break the championship record; that's currently over 483lb. Will you be that lucky angler? With thousands of dollars in cash prizes up for grabs, what do you have to lose?

I am quietly confident of both the quantity and quality of the Carp that the 100 anglers will be fishing for. Two Rivers is the true "Carptown" in the US; it's carp soup here in late spring. Last year three of us fished in the Two Rivers area and caught more than twenty 20 pounders in a single day. There are also a lot of 30+ pound fish in the mix; I'd consider Two Rivers as the best choice for someone wanting to catch a 40 or 50 pound fish in May.
