Yes, the fish were hitting on this warm day today. Weather will play a big part in the early season. |
For me, today marked the start of spring fishing for carp. I tried three other times in the last week and blanked every time. But, each one of those times, I was putting bait (maize) into my spring spots. I knew it would be a matter of a short amount of time when I would start seeing carp in at least one of those places. Today, I saw them as well as caught a number of them. I spotted some fish moving around in the shallows and tossed more bait into the spot I intended to fish. I went back to this location several hours later. The rods were out no more than ten minutes before the alarm went off and I was on.
Note that early spring carp fishing in March can be a lot like the weather- inconsistent. The key to success is to have a plan, bait up a few spots and stick with it. The warm days will outproduce the cold days.
Today's fish fell for a combo bait of maize and pale pink artificial corn on the hair rig.
Note: Here in RI you can only fish non trout stocked waters until Opening Day of trout season (second Saturday in April).. You will also need a new, 2023 license if you intend to fish any freshwaters in the state at this time.
