As the cold winter days’ approach, here in the Midwest, most lakes, rivers and canals freeze, which forbids most carp anglers to do what they love. There are areas, mainly canals, next to power plants that do not freeze because of the hot water discharge which can be fished at, but those are limited and tend to be heavily occupied by anglers in these cold months. There are carp anglers, who go on the ice to catch carp and this form of fishing is getting more and more popular, but I am not that brave, yet. I do not have any experience fishing on the ice and as a matter of fact, last year was my first time.
Polonia Carp Team Winter League, another session behind me. It was
a session four of eight. It was a very, very cold session but why complain, it
is a Winter League after all. The good part was the fact that I was able to have
my vehicle very close to my rods so every time I got cold, I could jump in for
a quick warm up.
