I stopped by one of my local lakes for a couple hours of casting therapy before heading to work. Yesterday the waters were relatively calm and I had a great morning of fishing. Today the water was literally raging with Carp. They were wrestling everywhere. The noise was intense. I mean it was a Royal Rumble of Carp orgy!!

 

As a result, I am assuming here.... nothing was hitting. Is there anything you can do at this point? It was so crazy me and a couple guys I met who were also fishing just started laughing. It was that nuts.

 

Thoughts?

I fish deep for bass when they are doing that or try to snag some of the carp. I don’t consider snagging unethical because I usually land about 1 out of 300...........

Sounds like it might be a good idea to fish for carp.

I've rarely done any good for bass around spawning carp. Feeding carp is another story.
