Surprising. Carp in the States are usually not that hard to catch because they are underfished. Maybe they didn't like the heat today. Did you chum?

. NO carp at all. Boiles and whole corn worked well anyway. I assume there is a huge number of fish...
However It seems that it s to much shallow there...not more than a few feets. BTW where have you been fishing there? The spot on the other side of paking?

thanks

I never fish near the parking lot. You're right, it is very shallow there and all I have ever caught there is small catfish and turtles. If you walk down the abandon train tracks to the left of the lot, there are a couple shore spots along there. I always fish all the way in the back. The water is deeper back there.

If you are willing to put in 5 hours and chum, you should have great success once you learn the spots better. I am good for about 20 mins and I have to move which means I am usually one fish and done.
