Ice fishing for carp

[Jmnhunter]

I heard they school up in huge numbers, and are almost impossible to catch because they are just turned off.

good luck

Anyone have any luck yet? I still haven't seen one in the winter.

Haven't tried yet. Maybe in a couple weeks I'll give it a shot.

Just got off the phone with a buddy who landed a nice carp. He was fishing Bluegills at the time. Figures it went about 10 - 12 pounds.

His reaction "What a rush"

One of the guys I fish Lake of The Woods with started ice fishing carp this year. He used minnows in real shallow water like five feet or so. He told me the first day he discovered the pattern, he had six rods, caught four fish, and had everyone of his rods spooled. He ended up using a musky reel on a custom ice rod he made. Not sure exactly how or where he did this, but I can find out some specifics.

searchingfor55", I'd love to get some details about the pattern he found with the carp! I didn't have much of a chance to even try to locate the carp this winter. But knowledge for next winter will stay with me.

I talked to my freind, and he said he only found the pattern on one lake, and could never get any on other lakes. I forget the name of the lake now but I know it was in the Faribault area. I guess he did catch quite a few, biggest was around 25 lbs, and I know he was fishing right in the weeds.
