On a Big Fish Streak

This mirror carp, 21 lbs., was caught
yesterday.  It is one of 10 fish over
20 lbs. taken in the last five days.

I'm on a big fish streak.  In the last five days I have landed over thirty carp with ten of them going over twenty pounds.  Most of the others have been in the 10-20 lb. range.  That warm weather of the last few days has just lit up the fishing for me.  Surprisingly, morning and mid day action has been the best. I'm catching from multiple venues with a number of places producing. Most of the fish have been mirrors.

This unusual beauty, a linear mirror (one
row of scales across the middle
of body), was landed today in some
stormy weather.

Today I went out in the rain and wind and was rewarded with a five fish afternoon with fish up to twenty pounds.  Carp are very active in nasty weather, and some of the largest fish I have ever caught have been taken on bad or stormy days.
Today's fish were all taken on sweet corn on the hair rig.  I used three kernels.....two regular unflavored kernels along with one orange colored tutti-fruitti flavored kernel.  The fish have been off the pop-up artificial corn in the last few days.  Carp will go on and off certain baits, and the hot baits will often change with the weather or the season. So, you need to do some experimenting to find just what is working.
