November night carping
Went carping in the 53.7 degrees Millstone River on the north shore in Plainsboro, NJ, this evening on a cold, cloudy ☁️ day with a light southwest breeze. Air temperature was 44 degrees Fahrenheit at night. Saw 5 fishermen on the dam and Aqueduct. A guy caught and kept a big largemouth bass in the northwest corner of the river with a live shiner. I threw out Walmart canned whole kernel corn 🌽 for chum, then caught two common carp with corn 🌽 bait. Didn’t get a bite until 5 PM then I landed a 22” 6 lb 10 oz carp. On my last cast of the day at 6 PM, I caught an 18” 3 lb 2 oz carp. Saw 3 muskrats swim upstream. A big fish 🐠 swirled. Canada geese, mallards 🦆, wood ducks, teal, cormorants, gulls, and herons were nearby. Tree surgeons were working in the trees. I took photos. Landed 77 carp this year.
