2017 Austin Team Championship: Cardinal Carpers

I missed the 15th annual Austin Team Championship in 2016, but I have plans to attend the 16th annual event in 2017. With 11 months to prepare I should be able to put a plan in place to maximize the opportunity to participate in the next event.

I'm new to tournament carp angling so I need to get up to speed throughout the year in 2016. I plan to fish a lot of new venues to challenge myself and find ways to make adjustments for conditions that I haven't experienced before.

I plan to fish as "Cardinal Carpers", which is a tribute to growing up in Missouri as a diehard fan of the St. Louis Cardinals. If the names Whitey Herzog, George Hendrick, Jack Clark, Tony LaRussa, Willie McGhee, Vince Coleman, Scott Rolen, and Ozzie Smith mean anything to you; and if you would like to fish with me at the 2017 Austin Team Championship next year in Austin, Texas drop me a line.

Throughout the year, I will be tagging my posts on Facebook as #cardinalcarpers and posting pics of carp I catch wearing my favorite Cardinals ball cap in the photos. To demonstrate your Cardinals pride please do the same and drop me an e-mail. With your permission I'll share the photos on this page to help promote our efforts to compete at the 2017 ATC.

If everything goes as planned I will spend a week in the Austin area and do some fishing at Decker Lake and Emma Long as well. I enjoy catching buffalo and carp. Texas has some huge buffalo opportunities that I plan to pursue.

About

My name is Brian Pearcy and I fish for common carp.

If you are like most of the people in my family, close friends and a few co-workers I have told about my carp fishing exploits; you might not be familiar with fishing for carp. You might be familiar with or previously fished for bluegill, crappie, bass, catfish, walleye, or some salt water species; but unless you already fish for carp you may not realize their true potential as a sport fish.

Please keep an open mind while reading my carp fishing blog. I’ll do my best to convince you that the common carp are getting a bad rap sometimes. Hopefully I'll convince you that fishing for carp is a great idea.

I plan to post my carp fishing pictures, highlights from various fishing venues I visit, results, equipment reviews, observations, and anything else I think might be interesting about carp fishing.
