Carp Fishing In New York State

Most avid anglers enjoy spending their free time on holiday seeking their favorite species of fish.

Many times this means chartering a deep sea vessel for some off-shore ocean fishing, but many also turn inland and fish the freshwaters of their neighboring townships and countries.

This can be as little as a very short and inexpensive daytrip to a local waterway, or can be as grand as flying to a different country to spend a week or longer exploring new cultures and new angling destinations.

Most people in North America tout its waters as home to world-class freshwater bass, but it is no secret that North America is also becoming known as a home to a wide variety of strong, fighting carp. As carp-angling popularity has grown in the States and many more American carp fisheries have become noticed over the past decade, it has become learned that very few destinations can compare to the unique experience of carp angling in the scenic village of Baldwinsville, New York.

Carp Fishing In New York State

Baldwinsville, New York is home the historic Red Mill Inn and conference center (www.theredmillinn.com). The Red Mill Inn has, for the past three years and running, hosted a northeast regional tournament in partnership with C.A.R.P. Tournament Series (www.carptournamentseries.com), the premiere North American carp angling circuit, along the Seneca River. Never before on the planet has a waterway yielded so many fish during one carp-angling event, let alone has an event done so consistently year after year.

Incredibly, at the 2007 C.A.R.P. Tournament Series Northeast Regionals, 34 two-person teams combined to land over 28,000 pounds of carp that were ten pounds or larger during the event, which consists of 50 consecutive hours of fishing. The 2008 tournament yielded over 36,000 pounds among 41 two-person teams, and the 2009 event yielded just over 34,000 pounds among 43 teams. The largest carp taken in three years was just under 40 pounds, and each year the winning teams averages about 3,000 pounds in total weight caught.

Three years of consistent angling results has proven Baldwinsville as the leader in North American carp angling, or in the opinion of many, the carp angling capitol of the world. The next Baldwinsville carp tournament will be held May 12-15, 2010.

International tourists looking to experience a one-of-a-kind North American carp angling holiday should look no farther than Baldwinsville.
