Well, you know summer is here when carp fishing slows in the daytime. And, it has slowed big time. We're past the post spawn feed, past the mulberry binge, and entering a period of slow fishing.
However, there are strategies one can use to increase your catches during this time. Fish moving waters in rivers. Pond fish tend to sulk and expend little energy at this time, but river fish are constantly fighting currents and far more active in the dead of summer. If you fish ponds and lakes, focus on the best times. Right now the fish are hitting best in early morning and late evening. Even after dark is very good. Cloudy and rainy days are also good. Prebait if you can, since that will also get the fish in the area you are fishing.
Last summer I caught the majority of my fish in two locations.....the Blackstone River and the Merrimack River. That should tell you just how effective rivers are at this time.
