Last fall i was using my side finder in a deep area of Cutler and it was banked up solid with fish everywhere. It looked like a coral reef teeming with fish... I tried to make perch or crappie of them, but the local guru's told me they were all carp. Also winter before last I had safe ice on the Bear River, so I set up to fish it and had tons of fish show up on the finder and after nothing would bite, I put my camera down and they were all carp hanging in the current under the ice in the deeper pools... So I think this time of year the shallows that warm quicker in spring also chill quicker in fall, so I think the carp all move to deeper water... Not much surface action this time of year that I've ever seen... Good luck, but I think you might have to try targets for a couple months... Later Jeff
When things get stressful think I'll go fish'en and worry about it tomorrow!
