CBA 2003 Championship Season
CBA Match 11
Barth Pond, Downers Grove,
IL. Nov 8, 2003
It was all about catching bluegills in this season
closing event. After cold night, the fish moved into deeper water and very few
were caught in the opening hour. Some anglers were picking up some fish with the
long poles; the bluegills were so cold they felt like cubes of ice. In the
second hour, the action started improving and most anglers moved to their whip
lines. After slow start the day turned into a good speed-fishing match with each
angler catching over 100 fish. Derek Aniolkowski took good advantage of his end
peg # 7 and caught enough bluegills to win the match. He used 2.5 meter whip
with .25 g doctored Quad Float, 0.12-0.10 mm lines, and size 16 Mustad Wide Gape
Barbless hook. All fish were caught with single or double maggots, while small
amounts of groundbait were fed every
minute.

CBA Match 10
Volcaning Lake, Hoffman Estates,
IL. Oct 19, 2003
All top finishers caught small carp fishing long poles
with corn on the hook. This match proved once again that this small lake
can provide some fantastic action. However, it seems that the best times
to fish it may be early Spring and late Fall.

CBA Match 9
Fox River, Montgomery, IL.
Oct 5, 2003
Great day of fishing on the Fox. Fishing long pole once again was the
winning method. Presenting still bait in the moderate current seemed to work
best and flat floats (around 3 grams) were used by top finishers. Corn,
worms, and bunches of maggots all proved to be effective baits for hungry river
carp.

CBA Match 3
Lincoln Park Lagoon, Chicago, IL. May
18, 2003
The water in the lagoon
was low and besides Peter who enjoyed great action on his end peg 1, other
anglers were struggling to put together few pounds of fish. Fishing was definitely
not as good as last year. In his catch, Peter included couple of really nice
fish, one of them 23.4 lbs. carp. That's good enough for CBA's new biggest fish
record. Peter fished corn over groundbait with a long pole at 7 meters from the
bank. He used #12 elastic, 0.16 mm. Stroft line, and size 14 Kamasan B611
hooks. Not a very strong set-up for fish like this!
Weather: Mostly cloudy, light winds, temperature
50-60 F.

CBA Match 2
The Narrows, Naperville, IL. May
4, 2003
The second match of the 2003 season was fished on a new venue - The Narrows in Naperville. It was expected that weights of 50+ pounds will be needed to win the sections. As you can see in the results below this hasn't happened. Bluegills didn't feed as well as expected and only 2 of the pound's resident carp were landed. However, with 5 weights over 20 lbs. it was exciting and interesting day out. Elise DeVilliers and Robert Wolan won their sections by speed fishing for bluegills and shiners. Robert used 3 meter whip, while Elise did the damage with 3-meter top kit fished to hand. Maggots were used for the hook bait and small amounts of groundbait were fed regularly to keep the fish coming. Paul Wells caught his bonus carp ledgering small bomb with a hair rigged corn. Peter Wolan had his carp on a long pole also with corn on the hook.
Weather: Mostly cloudy with strong winds from the East, temperature about 50 F.
