Mostly night crawlers.... But when they are stacked in the shallows, I will use a brightly colored dough bait and I will sight fish em'. Funny thing happened last week, I got out at sunrise to catch a few for the guys on here and the carp were not up in the shallows yet. So I switched to a jig and twister and figured I would try for some walleyes until the sun got a little higher to warm up the shallows and bring the carp in. First cast with the jig into the deeper current and I got a hit!! Fought the fish for awhile thinking I had a monster walleye on, and it turned out to be a carp.... totally engulfed the jig. I don't usually catch carp on soft plastics so I was totally surprised by that one. Next cast, same thing. So those two finished off Soy and Stingray45's batch. Found a new spot where the carp are running a little larger and in higher numbers, so I am expecting this list to go pretty smoothly and the action to pick up considerably. I fish on my days off so I can spend my entire day out on the river and when the temps start to consistantly be in the mid 40s and higher, I will be fishing before work, after work, and on my days off until everyone gets their skins.
