Thanks, i caught this guy technically on the last day of summer...Carp season isn't over in my opinion, but when it gets really cold, they like to hide/hibernate in large groups if you can find them; or they try to find places where the water is warm...I find my favorite times to go fishing for carp are spring, summer, and winter...I have had a session where I have caught at least 20 carp during spring and winter. That same session during winter, I had a carp on each rod at the same time (that was tiring)...during summer i had a session where every time i casted, 5 seconds later a carp would bend my rod in half, but i didn't catch 20 that day...so far this fall Ive caught 6 carp and 6 catfish
