August Update
Yes, I'll be late for my own funeral... It's been a busy summer here at New World Carp. As always, we've continued to expand our selection of carp and match fishing tackle. Almost 50 new products have been added recently with more due in the coming weeks. Our new selection of Jaxon rods has been very popular- the XT-Pro models offer excellent quality at a fair price and the slim and light, yet strong Perseus Tele Carp is already a best selling favourite. (Find out what Beans caught on his later in the Update.)
This year I wanted to focus on fly fishing for carp and the season has been a great success. Carp are a challenging fish to take on the fly, but the rewards more than make up for it. The thrill of stalking a carp in skinny water and then watching your line quickly get taken down to the backing as you struggle to control the runaway train on the end of it is just about as exciting as fishing can get. If you've been thinking of trying it out yourself or just wonder what all of the fuss is about, check out the two DVDs that Barry Reynolds has put out. The Fly Rodder's Guide to Carp is a serious and informative how-to video whilst the recently released Urban Warfare is devoted to exciting footage of chasing carp on the fly. And NWC is currently selling them at 20% off the regular price. How can you say no?
Following on the popular introduction of the 30PLUS Robo Chair (the first time we've sold out of an item in under a week), NWC has added Middy's StarGrip 360 System to our collection. Not surprisingly, this versatile and useful range of products has been a big hit as it has virtually everything you could want to customise your chair or boxseat.
Given the extreme heat that we've been enduring throughout the summer the Mission Brollies that just arrived from Daiwa will likely be popular. This is a light but sturdy brolly, 50" across, that combines Daiwa's famed quality and a decent price.

Simon goes after the big ones with his new Robo Chair
Simon writes: As you can see the Robo Chair arrived today. Of course I had to try it out right away. It really is well built and comfortable. I would recommend it to anyone. Thank you for getting it for me.
Beans catches a PB (and more...) on Pineapple Monster Maize
Beans dropped us a line: I didn't know shoal carp (muskies) liked corn...
Carp fishing with Crappieperchhunter this morning held a big surprise to both of us...a little after 10:00 AM I decided it was time to renew the ground bait on my spring feeder...as I picked up my rod from its holders I thought I was snagged but all of a sudden my snag started to head downstream..."Hey Steve, I think I got a fish but it doesn't feel like a carp"
Then all of a sudden I get a drag screaming run..."maybe it is a carp"...I no sooner get the words out of my mouth when a musky makes a gigantic leap out of the water..."Nope it's not a carp" I sez...
After a nice battle, with several big runs, (all the while laughing our heads off) we manage to get it into shore and Steve unhooked it without taking it out of the water...about an 8 to 10 pounder we guessed...
What a great way to christain my new telescopic 13' carp rod I got last Thursday... (Jaxon Eternum Tele Carp)
We had no sign of any carp until Steve got an eleventh hour one about 20 lbs...
Shortly after he left (I stayed on as my wife was going to a quilt show in Haliburton) the carp gods must have taken pity on this old carper as I hooked my personal best...had to go well over 25 lbs and took forever to bring to shore to unhook and release...
Too bad we don't carry our cameras with us anymore...but I must have over a hundred pics of him or I with a carp...
To celebrate, I bought myself a couple of those chicken ceasar wraps from Timothy Horton's...tasty morsels them...
