Thanks for all the response guys, did some driving around this weekend to check some spots out.
I went to the Smith and Bybee lakes, tough to find a place to cast, I went through the entrance off of Marine Drive, so I check the place out a bit, but did no fishing. Huge lakes, would be interesting to find some good spots there. Drove to Fairview lake, it was windy, and that place is pretty muddy. Right off the main road (Fairview Lake road maybe???), at the docks, there was a Russian old guy, fishing right off the bottom he got 4 fish in the two hours we were there, so he was doing pretty good. I think key there is to find a place that is not too muddy, I could literally feel my sinker going into the mud and water looked really muddy.
Lastly, stopped by Bethany, maybe I saw you there Topbloke? The british accent guys there had some top notch carp gear (thats me being jealous there...), but it seemed to be pretty slow fishing wise. I will try to do some more looking around next weekend, I know that Sauvie Island is so far the best place I have seen, but it wont open for a few more weeks. I drive the main road towards the back side of the island, and there are some nice channels up there where I always seem to catch some really nice carp and the occasional small cat fish.
Hi there guys,
New around this forum, but I have been fishing most of my life. I am trying to line up a carp day this weekend, any advice? I have fished the channels at Sauvie Island, with some success, but I was wondering if there are any other recommended spots for winter carp. I have seen some catching carp at Bethany, are there any places that you guys like, I would prefer to get away from the city a bit if possible.
