Cold-Weather Carpin'

So do many people do any carpin' through winter?  Despite what some believe, carp can be caught all thru winter and even thru the ice.

It just doesn't seem like carping unless you are broiling in the sun or being eaten by bugs.  Besides it's way easier to get steelies or walleyes now.

Ah, where's the challenge in that.  I hate fishing of any kind in the heat and I don't hunt, so gotta do sumtin'. You can sweat your (dough)balls or boilies off if ya want, but some of us prefer numb nuts.  The Stillers sure as hell weren't worth watchin' yesterday, but is was an exciting game.  Everybody and their grandmother are after Erie steelhead now.  Pittsburgh steelhead are where it's at!

sure, we  fish all through the winter. for pretty much what we can catch. saturday, at the west branch of the susquehanna at shawville, fishing for channels, we caught a 31" carp. water and air temps were in the low 40's.we've also got some just at ice out in the spring.

Cool.  I've never fished over that far east in PA.  I saw a Walkers Cay Chronicles fishing show several years ago where Flip Pallot and Lefty Kreh were flyfishing the Susquehanna and catching some nice carp.  Hopefully I'll make it over east one of these days and fish the Juniata and Susquehanna and some of the other good carp waters over that way.

Thanks for the info.  I'm always lookin' for new carp tourneys.  I'm gonna have to try and check that out next year.
