Carp All Night

I can’t believe that we at  IheartPGH have not posted on this important annual event before. Thanks to the folks at Venture Outdoors for reminding me that this weekend is Carp All Night, which is a sister event to Art All Night.  Join some fishermen and fisherwomen for an all night carp fishing extravaganza.

The umpteenth annual Carp All Night takes place this Saturday, April 25, in Lawrenceville, beneath the 40th Street Bridge. Fishing equipment will be on hand for those in need of it, as well as actual expertise in how to catch something. And we do actually catch some pretty impressive fish, including a very nice 3 lb. smallmouth bass.

No kidding. Plus lots of catfish and even the occasional carp. Don’t forget your PA Fishing License, you can get that on-line these days:http://www.fish.state.pa.us/license.htm

Stop down any time, Dusk to Dawn.

Check out some Carp All Night photos from 2006 on Flickr.  Pittsburgh Dish also wrote about Carp All Night in 2007.

Here is a video that documents some of the fun from the 2003 Carp All Night
