RI Carp Fishing Still Going



Most carp fishermen make the mistake of quitting too early. Fall fishing is a hit or miss deal, but the carp are still around and usually willing to hit until the ice arrives. In the past I have landed carp in open water in RI on every single month of the year, including January.


This week I encountered an uptick in the fishing. Oh, it's not April or May, but I still have managed to snare one or two fish an outing with decent sizes up to around ten pounds. I was out this morning in dead calm water and to my surprise, the carp were all over the surface lazily finning and picking at something. In one location, I saw a bunch that probably numbered 60 or 70 fish. However, they were not interested in hitting, but at least one fish (left and right photos) was grubbing along the bottom right in the spot I had baited up.
