Carp fishing, short session match.

This is a new format "Israfish" is trying, not the long 5 days match, but an 2 days, weekend one.
This one for a bit less fanatic carpfisherman, and a bit less strict rules.
This year it was better than ever, veri good mood, weather. Many people were interested, 38 teams participated.
Very good atmosphere, although I'm not fishing for carp for some yars, but alway attend this competition for a day or two, just to take pictures and stay with the teams for a little bit.

Galilee Carp 2009

This year again "Israfish" club organizes carpfishing competition, and I'm there again to take some pictures.



It was very successfull this year, no team stayed without fish at all. And the fight for winning places was really close up to the last hours. Carpfishing here is getting stronger every year and I think some of our local teams could already participate in an International event.

Carp rods test

It is famous to believe among carpfisherman on less successfull days, that they are not getting to the fish. They believe that they need to cast just a bit farther...
And so they buy all those new extra distance rods that appeare lately on the market. On weekends their wives don't allow them to go fishing they go casting somewere closer to thir house.
Two of those crazy carpfisherman are very good friends of mine. I've bought a new superwide lens Canon EF-S 10-22 F3.5-4.5 and so it was my opportunity to test it past saturday.
