>>1111597Went Carp Fishing on Lake Washington today.
Putted around in my kayak.
Surface Temps near one of the rivers was 55F due to the recent rains, but the further I moved away from it, the closer it got to 65F.
Looked for carp in the shallows, was unable to see any signs of feeding. Only a few salmon jumping.
Nothing on the depth finder either.
Anchored down and fished for about two hours in 4 feet of water, 12 feet of water, and 30 feet of water (2 hours each). No bites. No signs of feeding.
I was using a method lead, with a hair rig. One rod was tossing blood worm boilies, and the otheir was tossing artificial corn. I chummed with boilies, corn, and oatmeal. With Cornoil used to make some packbait out of those.
After that it started raining pretty hard so I decided to move back towards the boat launch.
Fishing a 10 foot deep hole up the river a bit. (Technically part of Lake Washington in the Regs)
Chummed with bread, and use a weight, and a hair rig with bread.
Managed to catch 1 Squawfish.
Does any one know how to target Carp as Water Temps drop? Lake Washington is a BIG, Lake with multiple Rivers coming into it. As the Water cools, I'm not sure where I should target Carp.
