July Carping

The hot weather adds an element of difficulty to mid-summer carp fishing. Heat, hot water and scorching sun do not always make it easy to catch carp.

But don't give up.

You never know when it will cloud up just prior to an unexpected rain shower. These are perfect times to catch few nice carp. You can also target deeper water or spots that offer shade in your favorite fishing spots. The shade provides some relief to fish in the summertime.

I caught this carp 3 years ago today
