Bartlesville OK – CARP Tournament Series has once again accepted the invitation from the community of Baldwinsville, New York to bring pro-level catch-and-release anglers to Central New York this spring. For the fourth year in a row, the Oklahoma-based professional tournament organization will draw a field of international and American anglers to the Seneca River for their CARPT Tournament Series Northeast Regionals competition May 13-15, 2010.
The Seneca River has earned a reputation as a prolific fishery for the common carp as the annual tournament has produced unprecedented quantities of fish during the action-packed competitions. Since 2007, a cumulative weight of over 49 ton – more than 98,000 pounds of carp have been caught and released during the contests. (more…)
Coppell TX — The American Carp Society LLC today announced the departure of director David Moore from the organization.

If you see people fishing on the Connecticut River this week at midnight or 3 a.m., this may explain it: There is a professional carp fishing tournament from 9 a.m. today through 9 a.m. Saturday, 72 hours straight, day and night.
“The Connecticut River carp are large and healthy,” said Kathleen Kelly-Ori, who heads up publicity for the CARP Tournament Series. “This is the only U.S. tournament where we fish on tidal-affected waters. That is a challenge to the anglers who do not fish that type of water.”"
