Fall Feed Underway

 

This fat common was one of many fish landed 
in the last few days.  Looks like the fall feed
has begun here in RI.

It took a couple of nights down below freezing and a couple of days with cold north and northeast winds to light up the fall fishing. It took this jolt of cold weather to get the carp thinking winter is coming, and it's time to get feeding to fatten up for the winter months ahead.

I've landed both good numbers of carp along with some big ones in the 20's in the last few days. Prior to that I was only able to get a fish or two every few outings. It was a noticeable uptick in the fishing. Other CAG members are also reporting upticks in fishing from multiple venues.

I think the fishing will continue to remain good up until the real cold weather along with icing hits. I'm guessing we will see at least a few weeks of decent fall fishing.
