The weather turned warm and wet this week and the carp turned on. The last two days have featured the best carp fishing I have ever experienced in RI at this late time of year. I got out yesterday on that warm and drizzly day. I started catching one fish after another, landing a total of 14 carp in just a few hours of fishing! They were a sizes with the biggest going a whopping 25 lbs., very large by RI standards (see photo, left).Today I went back out with my friend Nick (photo, right)and together we landed another 11 fish. Again, they were all sizes from a few pounds up to the low teens. It was rare to go fifteen minutes without an alarm sounding or a fish on. It was terrific action for a time of year in which one or two fish would be an accomplishment in past years.
The hot bait continues to be pineapple flavored Pescaviva (sold by http://www.wackerbaits.com/) fished ahead of an unflavored oatmeal based method ball. Take a look at the picture below of this bait set up and how it is done on the hair rig.
