Since that big rainstorm last week that dumped upwards of 3 inches of rain and the cold days that followed, we have been in a major slowdown. I have been out in a number of places in the last few days and have only taken one mid sized mirror. The water in most ponds is very high and in the woods in most places. The Blackstone River has not been fishable for a week now due to high and fast moving water. I also noticed that nothing is going on at night, probably due to the cold temperatures. So, we are headed for November and the fishing is marginal at best. Make no mistake about it. Carp fishing slows down greatly at this time of year. The fish's activity levels and feeding levels slow in the cooling waters. Peak time has passed and the fishing is nowhere near what it was one or two months ago. However, there still are fish available, and that's what will keep me fishing till the ice comes and beyond.
That's pretty impressive..I've akways wanted to fish fir carp im from woonsocket and the blackstone river runs straight through it..I've vaught big pike in there .I like the variety of species of fish in the blackstone ..how do you rig your line ? And what bait do you use?
