Cold, Ice and Snow...And Carp Hitting!



Nothing like a few carp in Jan. to cure cabin fever. I went out scouting around this week and baited up some spots that had open water. Looks like I picked the right spot to fish today as I came away with 2 commons and a mirror today, my best Jan. outing. Take a look at two of those fish sitting in the net in a pile of snow.


I would never have believed I would have caught a fish today. Snow covered the shoreline, there was some ice along the edge of the water, and it stayed below freezing as I sat in a pile of snow watching my lines. Yet, the fish were active. Oh, there were no screaming runs but lots of taps and gentle takes, typical of carp feeding in cold water. As usual, pineapple flavored sweet corn (no method) hair rigged on small hooks did all the damage.


Yes, carp can be caught in January for any nut who wants to get out and try.
