Another big carp has been caught in rainy, stormy weather. The carp were very active today in the pouring rain! |
Here we go again. Torrential rains have lit up the carp fishing here in RI. That 10+ inches of rain in the last two days have driven up the water levels as well as cooled down the water, and it's resulted in excellent carp fishing.
Today I was out all afternoon in the pouring rain. I had on my Grunden rain parka and my waders and I was dry as a bone. I landed good numbers of good sized carp in the low teens along with one big carp in the mid twenty pound range. I also saw a lot of active fish with fish rolling on the surface and bubble trails coming up from the bottom.
Once again, the hot bait was a combo bait of one kernel of real maize and a kernel of white plastic corn on the hair rig. That's been the hot ticket all summer. I haven't been using a method ball lately because I am trying to avoid the pesky turtles.
