Sixty Degree Temps Light It Up

A good size mirror comes ashore right before dark.  The last
two days of warm weather has lit up the fishing.
It took just two days of sixty degree weather to light up the fishing, and move us into a spring pattern of carp fishing here in RI. The fish were active in the places I fished today.  I saw bubble trails, fish jumping and oh, the hits.  They were just screamers.  Up until today the hits were generally just picking with the occasional runner. Once hooked, the fish were also ripping off line and drag on the fight Today the carp meant business.  That's what a rise of a few degrees in water temperature will do in April to carp fishing.
I went out this morning for a few hours and landed four commons.  Then, I fished for an hour before dark and landed three mirrors. All my fish were caught on a combo bait of a kernel of sweet corn and a white artificial corn fished off the hair rig.
Spring fishing has arrived!
