A Hint of Fall

I landed this mirror this evening.  There has been
an uptick in carp fishing since the cooler weather
arrived.

 There has been an uptick in fishing in the last few days.  The weather, and most notably the nights, have turned a lot cooler.  That has gotten the carp more active and feeding. It's a hint of fall and things to come.

I've had real good success in the last couple of days landing a total of 12 carp.  These have included both mirrors and commons.  They have been all sizes with the largest fish in the low 20's. I continue to have success with a combo bait of one kernel of maize along with a white, plastic, artificial corn fished on a hair rig.  I am using no method ball due to active turtles.

I've also noticed the fishing has been especially good near dark.  That is a sure sign of fall when fish are particularly active near and even after dark.  A friend of mine did an all-nighter a few nights back and landed good numbers of fish.

This mirror was landed right at dark tonight.
The fish have gotten active at and after dark,
a sure sign of fall fishing.
