A Tough Week of Fishing

It's been a poor week of fishing. I am barely scratching a fish or two a day, even blanking on other days, and I am fishing a lot in all my early season hotspots. Other carp fishermen in RI are reporting the same results. I attribute this to exceptionally cold nights in the 20's shutting everything down. I am seeing fish sunning themselves in the daytime when the temperatures barely get above freezing, but they are not at all interested in hitting. They barely move, looking like statues in the water. A week of temperatures above normal will certainly get the fish in high gear. I just don't know when that will happen.
