Carp fishing in the fall and winter

I usually have the poles put away for the year by september but im always reading on here about guys carp fishing year round. Seems im missing out on some action. By now all the good spots ive found in spring are full of vegetation, making it impossible to fish so ive had to look around for new ones. I think i may have found a few. One tip ive heard lately for fall carping is to fish against the water, where all the food and debris is washing up because the carp will come there to feed. Has this proven true for anyone? How do your fall and winter carp strategies differ from spring and summer techniques?

Easily digestible proteins are a safe bet for cold weather.

Sept and Oct are great carping months.............they're feeding heavily before winter sets in.
 
Pre bait your spot and they will find it.

I fish rivers and creeks or anywhere hot water gets pumped in once we get this late in the year. Falling temps dont affect river fish as much as lake fish imo.

Simple baits, light lines, an small hooks will up your chances. Dont over think carp fishing they jus dumfezh.

I do think fishing against the water can sometimes have its advantages but i have fished twin lakes for a long time. and i think the fish just seem to move in schools well the carp anyhow regardless of the way the current goes. now keystone SP, i do think they will follow the current a little more to feed but i think its mainly just what feels right and adjusting on the fly.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

my personal thought behind the carps behavior is actually the structure of the lake and how deep the lake is twin lakes is so shallow that the fish just kinda hangout in the same spots i think instead of them out cruising the lake they move to spots and sit then move on to another. Its nice to see another person so into this type of fishing there isnt many of us around.

Have you had any luck so far this season?

Sorry about the car trouble. Keep us posted. I'm expecting a carp pic from you with snow in the background by march.
