Action Slows with the Spawn

The alarms have been silent for several
outings as the carp spawn.  Rarely
do they feed when spawning.

 This warm weather has set off the spawn.  When carp are spawning, they have little interest in feeding. I saw carp spawning in multiple places this week.  When they spawn, you will see groups of them following one another and thrashing in the shallows. I haven't landed a carp, or even gotten a hit, in the last three outings.

It's interesting to note that carp spawn at different times in different spots.  This usually happens when the water turns 65 degrees. So, in a shallow lake that warms up quickly, they are likely to spawn earlier than in a deep lake which is cold.

With cooler weather forecasted for the next week, I am hoping the fishing returns
to normal.  Sometimes the carp can really go on a feed post spawn.  I hope it turns out that way.
