Mulberry Drop Happening

 

This nice mirror feel for a free lined mulberry 
today. The mulberries are dropping and the carp 
are right under the trees.

Do you know a carp pond or river where a mulberry tree is at the water's edge.  If so, you have a hotspot to fish right now.  The mulberries are ripe and dropping from the trees and most likely carp are right under these trees slurping them up.  Sweet mulberries are one of carps' most favorite late summer natural food.  These berries come in white, purple and red and will be falling from the trees for the next several weeks.

Fishing them is super simple.  Just a hook is needed at the end of your line (no weight).  Impale a berry with a # 6 or #8 hook depending on the size of the berry.  Cast it where the carp are feeding.  Most likely a hungry carp will rise up from the bottom a gulp down your offering.

Impale a mulberry with a #6
or #8 hook.  Fish it without a 
weight for best success.

I got out today and landed my first mulberry feeding carp on a white mulberry.  It took a whole of ten seconds to get the fish to take.  It was a good size 10 lb. mirror carp. 

Be aware that carp will get onto what you are doing mighty fast.  They will actually learn to pass up the berry that has a hook in it once they see a lot of fishing activity!
