Ice Carp Location

[LPCrowRiverFisherman]

1.5 Acre Pond, super clear, very steep drop off all around, don't know how deep it is but it is at least 20 ft deep. Would they be near the bottom or suspended.

I thought I would give it a try because it is loaded with carp and buffalo.

just keep moving, if you find one fish, you will find more since they tend to school in the winter.

i would start at any area with weeds.

i would jig one jig on the bottom for carp, and suspend one for buffs. use waxies, mousies, or eurolarvea

Be careful out there, I've heard that schooling carp can seriously weaken or open up the ice that they school beneath!!

i second carpman. but not all buffalo will be feeding in mid-water, as the temperature drops, bigmouth buffalo will bottom feed more and more, and they will go after larger prey. If you are targeting just buffalo, i would suggest bouncing a small to medium sized curly tail on the bottom, and spread out tip-ups with either waxies or small minnows both in mid-water and on the bottom.

i'm not an expert at winter roughfishing, but i have done my research

also, keep in mind what mainbutter said, be careful
