The weather has turned cold and the carp fishing here in RI has gone right downhill. In the last five days, I've landed exactly 2 small commons. I was fishing spots that had really produced a week or two ago. This is the way carp respond to sudden temperature drops. I believe that in big ponds and lakes the fish are headed for their winter locations right now. These are usually deep spots where they will sulk for the winter. They will still feed sparingly on those warmer days when the shallows heat up.
I suspect this same slowdown is affecting carp fishermen in the entire country. In the last week, there has not been a single entry put into our CAG national Big 4 carp tournament. When some of the best carp fishermen around the country are not catching, you know fishing is slowing down.
