My introduction to Colorado carp came from pursuing the multitude videos on YouTube and chatting with friends on Twitter. Being from the Midwest, I cut my fly fishing teeth on warm water species and learned very quickly the challenges of taking carp on the fly. But there was something intangibly intriguing about these Ghosts of Colorado. Perhaps the habitat was a little better, the fish a little bigger, and, just maybe, the experience a little better.
I hooked up with my Twitter buddy, Dave Maynard, for an afternoon of stalking the Golden Ghost on Denver's mud flats. Armed with a 7 weight Sage, 2x leader tapered to 3x fluorocarbon tippet, and some Backstabbers, I set out to stalk and battle some of Colorado's finest.
After a few unsuccessful attempts at feeding carp, I found another fish "locked in" rooting. I made the cast well past my target and stripped line until the fly was in the carp's field of vision. A short twitch of the rod tip, marabou and hackle undulating, was too much for the Ghost to ignore. He charged my Backstabber and sucked in the fly. I strip struck and the rod bowed. The fight was on.
Palming the reel during runs and working the rod to subdue the fish, I eventually landed my first Colorado Golden Ghost. What a great feeling!
During the rest of the afternoon, Dave and I continued to work the mud flats, putting our flies in front of as many active carp as possible. Some spooked, some were ornery, but some just ate.
In my journey and development as a fly angler, I haven't fished the saltwater flats yet. After systematically working the mud for carp, though, I have a greater understanding and appreciation for this type of sight fishing. The flats engender a whole range of emotions -- frustration, accomplishment, irritation, joy, disappointment, satisfaction. But, quite frankly, it's becoming one of my favorite places to be.
Great story and great post, Andy. Wish I hooked up with Dave before my Denver trip last year - this looks like a blast!
I've tried chasing carp in our local river (Concord) but find its too silty to effectively sight fish. By the time you see them, they are spooked. Not going to stop me from trying, though.
...and some just ate.
well done sir...cheers!
Congrats on getting off the CO carp shnide, but be carefull Andy. They are very very sneaky. First you are getting out for the ocassional outing and luvin it, the next thing you know they have snuck up on you and are all you want to fly fish for is carp. Believe me.
Dean -- Thanks! Appreciate it. Dave is a great guy! Passionate and fun to fish with. Keep trying on those Concord carp! Find a ghost that is so concentrated on eating and thread a fly in his feeding lane. My last couple of fish were rooting around in a foot of water, backs completely visible. Made about a 40 foot cast to them.
Sanders -- Thanks, man! Blog looks great.
McTage -- Ha! Thanks for warning me of the pitfalls :) I think I've developed the first stages of this obsession already, which regretfully might take time out of my smallmouth bass fishing. I'm hoping to participate in the Carp Slam next year. We'll see how things pan out.
Great looking carp!!!I just found this Via Twitter. Cool blog!
you should try to make it out for the carp slam next year.
Gary -- if all goes well, it's my goal to be there!
Thanks again, G. You have a nice blog yourself :)Florida consistently ranks as one of the top states to start a business due to its attractive tax climate. Florida has no personal income tax, and one of the best corporate tax rates in the country combined with an affordable cost of living.
If you plan on starting an LLC in Florida, you will be required to designate a Florida registered agent. A registered agent is the contact person for your company in any legal matters that arise and receives mail correspondence from the state.
While your company may choose any individual for this role, it is recommended to choose someone with experience with businesses or corporations to help streamline the paperwork process. In addition, a Florida registered agent should be reliable, responsible, and have a physical street address within state limits.
If you have decided that you would like a third-party agent, you must make sure several criteria are met before making your final decision. The first is to make sure the agency has physical offices in Florida–this means that someone from their office will be present in person on business days for all registered agent correspondence.
What are the best registered agent services in Florida?
The Florida Secretary of State provides a list of Registered Agents that are provided for the public.
Northwest Registered Agent is one of the leading registered agent service providers in Florida. They have been around since 1998 and started with registered agent services but have expanded into other services like online limited liability company processing, official mail forwarding.
Commercial registered agent companies are required by law to have a physical office space in Florida, so you can be assured that your documents will always be handled properly.
What to do after selecting a Florida registered agent service?
Once a business decides who will serve as their registered agent, they can select a Florida business name. The Florida Secretary of State website maintains public records of companies that have corporations filed in the state. Be sure to choose a unique business entity name to avoid running into issues with the Secretary of State.
Once you have performed a Florida business search and selected a registered agent, the next step is to start the e-filing process through the Florida SunBiz portal.
If you have a business name picked out and are worried about someone else taking it, you can file a Name Reservation form with the Florida Department of State that will lock the name in place for 120 days.
Florida requires each corporation to file an annual report through the Division of Corporations to stay in good standing with the state. This indicates that a business is still in operation and that the Department of State has the most recent address information on file.
Depending on the industry and county you are in, there may be requirements for local business licenses. The Department of State has a good information page that breaks down the different regulatory requirements for various industries.
How do I find out who owns a business in Florida?
You can perform a Florida business search through the SunBiz portal to find out the owner of any registered business in Florida. The database is free for the public to use and easy to search.
What do you need to run a business in Florida?
The first thing you need to do is register the business with the Florida Department of State, then you should follow the steps listed above in the article to get your business up and running.
What is the best registered agent service in Florida?
There are plenty of local registered agent services you can choose from, but one of the best options is to work with a large commercial registered agent service like Northwest Registered agent who adds in a variety of value-added services when you use them.
In most cases, they do not. Sole prop businesses have a straightforward structure in Florida, and there is no legal requirement to be registered with the state or any local agencies.
Yes, every Florida corporation, including LLCs, C-Corps, etc., is required to have a registered agent with the state.
How do I change my Florida registered agent?
You can change your Florida registered agent by filling out the Change of Registered Agent form and filing it with the Florida Secretary of State.
Also, virtual offices are a bit of a grey area when it comes to state statutes. Check with the Secretary of State in Tallahassee to get the official ok.
Can I be my own Florida registered agent?
As long as you meet the Florida state requirements for registered agents, you can serve as your own registered agent.
How does a business choose a registered agent in Florida?
A business officially chooses a registered agent when they file an Articles of Organization form with the Florida Department of State. I have scrutinized the logic and the error seems to be in the way the key has been wrapped, though I could not find any errors. Where have I gone wrong?
Two problems that I can see.
1) You need to modify the index i in if(isupper(key[i]))) with modulo, similar to the way you do it in k=key[j%keylength]-'A';. Same goes for the islower statement that comes later.
2) Your index j should not increment every time. j should only increment when the char in the message is a letter. Try using isalpha to determine when not to increment the index.
