Weather Turns Bad; Fishing Turns Good


The doldrums are over at least temporarily. It has been a hot summer thus far weather wise and that has put the carp in an August funk. While nighttime fishing has been fair, the daytime action has been nonexistent. That has now changed. The rain, cool weather and northeast winds of the last two days have lit up the carp fishing in RI, even in the daytime. There have even been some big ones around like the 15 lb. mirror in the photo that was taken in the Blackstone River two nights ago. It's my type of fishing weather, and I've landed more fish in the last two days than in the previous two weeks! I've also noticed lots of activity....fish whirling, bubbles and fish moving around. Hot bait continues to be flavored sweet corn with carpquila, spicey peach and pineapple doing most of the damage.
