Projo Fishing: HotBytes

Dave Pickering this week

"Carp fishing is very hot right now and peaking," says Dave Pickering of the Rhode Island Carp Anglers Group (CAG). "Members of the group have landed numerous fish this week in the 15- to 20-pound range, very big for Rhode Island waters.
And, they are hitting in all parts of the state."

In his blog, Dave writes:

"I fished the last three nights after dark at Lake Tiogue in Coventry. In that time period, I landed nine big commons from 14-18 pounds, very good sized carp in RI waters. Jeff Allard, our newest CAG member, accompanied me a few nights ago and he landed his first RI 20-pound. carp, a big achievement for a first year carp fisherman here in RI. Last week, I also hit the Blackstone River (prior to the flooding rains) and I was able to catch several mirrors in the mid teens, very good sized fish for this species. In addition, Steve McKenna, another new CAG member, has been fishing Twin Rivers in North Providence in the daytime. Steve landed a bunch of fish in the past week that went from low teens to 20 pounds. In fact, he landed a personal best 20-pounder from this spot. This is another big accomplishment for a first year carp fisherman."

I live on Tiogue Lake. Ive been carp fishing for years. At Tiogue and several other locations in RI. Whats the big deal on being a "first year carp fisherman"??? Carp are probably the easiest fish I have ever gone after.

And thanks for inviting the world to my backyard.

^You dont own the lake because your house is on it. Everyone knows there's big carp and catfish in Tiogue Lake and people love to fish their. Deal with it or move to a private lake dont act like a jerk.
