We are in the dog days of August. It is the slowest time of the year for carp fishing. But, there are fish still hitting, and you can still catch carp in August here in RI (see pic of one I got this morning). While you will catch reduced numbers, I think carp fishing is still one of your best fishing bets here in RI if you are a saltwater or freshwater fisherman. I have been out the last 5 days and have averaged two fish an outing. Some of these fish have been decent, running into the low teens. I am also getting other carp hits, fish on and horned pout when fishing in the evening. It's not hot fishing, but the fish are still hitting in this heat.My go to bait has been sweet corn on the hair rig. I'm using my own flavored sweet corn with tutti-fruitti and pineapple being the hot flavors. I'm also prebaiting with field corn any areas that I am fishing. It has made a big difference in my success.
