| I've had some excellent carp fishing in April when the weather was warm. When the cold returned, it all went downhill. |
April was going great for me until the cold snap hit several days ago. I was rolling with 60 carp in the first 18 days of April. While the fish were generally in the 5 to 10 lb. range, I also had a few brutes in the high teens and even twenties. That warm spell that we had with temperatures in the 80's really had them active with lots of fish jumping and feeding. It was like a spring coming out party.
Then, it all came crashing down. The weather of the last couple of days went back to winter, especially at night. Those cold nights around freezing sent the carp back into hibernation. I've caught one 10 lber. in the last two days. I put in a good amount of time today and got skunked. I did not even see a single jump in a place where I've seen a lot this month.
But, hey, that's April carp fishing in RI. It's an up and down affair. It will get better when the weather warms. Just have to wait.
