By this time of the fishing season I would typically have caught at least 20 - 30 carp, but this year I've caught only 2 common carp and 2 big mouth buffalo.

| This Detroit River fish was in pristine condition. The scales were perfect. |

| This fish was smaller than I hoped, but very welcome for my first carp of 2020. |
The lull at established spots creates a need to locate, scout and fish new place to catch carp. Being an effective scout for new carp swims pays dividends in the long run, but in the short term it can be pretty tough.
Some ideas for effective scouting:
- Michigan DNR website
- Recommendations from fellow fishermen
- Carp fishing forums
- Facebook groups
- Google search
- Blogs
- Fishbrain
- And on and on...endless possibilities
