Change in Strategy Delivers BIG Day

 

I had a big day in some crappy weather yesterday
as the carp were on the feed.

I had been having a very poor June.  I spent a lot of time targeting big carp in my big carp spots.  When you go after the big girls, expect a lot of blanks, and I was getting them.  So, I decided to make a change yesterday and head to some of the productive spots I used to fish.  It paid off in a big way. Once again, the rods were bent and the alarms were singing.

I ended the day with 11 carp on the bank.  While I had no real large fish, these were all good looking 8 to 13 lb. carp that were very aggressive.  This was all done cold turkey with no prebaiting ahead of time.  

Yesterday was one of those ideal carp fishing days.  It was overcast and cool with light rain and drizzle. Maybe because of the weather, the carp were charged up.  I saw a lot of jumps, mud clouds and bubble trails. I also saw many carp prowling around the shallows, so close that I could have touched them with my rod. I landed all my fish on a combo bait of maize and a white artificial corn fished on the hair rig.

It was great to get in on the action again. These were not 25 or 30 lb. fish, but I'll take it.
