danbouck Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 Along with everyone else around here, the itch to do some softwater fishing is driving me crazy. I took a drive to my local carp spot to find a horrible sight There are quite a few dead carp all over. Looks like I will have to find a couple more spots. Enjoyed a nice walk anyway and the kids are getting excited for some warm weather and fishing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike rousseau Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 There is an area where I live were this happens sometimes.... The water is usually deep enough to survive... But if there is too much snow you don't get sun penetration to create oxygen... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammercarp Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 That sucks about the pond. Looks like the kids enjoyed the day outdoors though. If you think you have the itch. I go crazy this time of year. The carp angling club that I am a member of has guys from the southern states posting pictures of the 20's and 30's they are catching in places like Tennessee and the Carolinas.

fishrking Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 It's likely not uncommon for your creek to have some winter 'die-off'. Lack of oxygen can take quite a toll - especially on larger, older fish depending on how long the ice stays on the creek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Pike Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 Fear not, Dan. There will be more to replace those come in from the river. Carp on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danbouck Posted March 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 I walked the entire creek and there were no spots deep enough so let's hope they come in from the river. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
