Google Scottsboro, AL. There's loads of back waters, bays, inlets. Looks very carpy even on google maps.

I posted this a few years ago but I'm gonna post it again.  does anyone know good carp spots in North alabama or on the Tennessee river. I'm struggling to find a spot with some carp any advice will help. thanks

Hi, I'd recommend scouting where that terrible fire was the other day. I have family in Fort Payne, directly west of there is where it happened. I was looking at it on the map to see how close it was to them and i noted that the river shape looked carpy.

UPDATE:

I’ve forgotten about this topic and wanted to give you the results.

I’ve been alternating spots between sessions, and here’s the results

Spot A: 2 fish over 5 sessions

Spot B: 0 fish over 5 sessions

Spot C  12 fish over 5 sessions

I’ve realized, after baiting Spot A with 400 pounds of maize over the course of two weeks and BLANKING, that it is just too shallow. At low tide it is only 3 feet deep and I cannot cast beyond the weedline where the fish travel through. I’ve only had success there twice - both times at slack high tide. Spot B is very snag ridden, to the point where it is unfishable. Spot C, however, is amazing. It is an excellent prespawn location as fish gather in the backwater areas. There is almost no current and the drop off on the point is a structure the fish hang around.

I believed Spot A was best myself, but I guess we’re all still learning.

I'd go C then!

Hi Iain,

I just wanted to thank you and the CAG team for your efforts today. My Son, John(6), and I came along and we had a great time. I wish I could have stayed longer and spoken to more people but the combinations of a 6 year old's attention span, choir practice and football curtailed our time. John is delighted to have his first carp rod and has just kissed it good night.

He also just drew me a carp. Thank you for helping build the next generation of American Carpers!

Cheers

Thank you both.  The conference is on the calendar now, I'm looking forward to it.

Iain, congratulations on the CT regulation changes you announced this week. Something to be very proud of.

Hello, my first post on this forum. I'm in South Eastern Connecticut (stamford) and it appears that all the good fishing in CT is at least an hour away from me.

I thought the Wire Mill Pond in Georgetown ways going to be my ticket, but the whole lake seems to be shut off these days.

Unfortunately, I have a young family, so it's tough for me to get to some of the more "famous" spots in CT. I suspect most of the good spots near me are in NY. I need a place that's within 30 minutes of me for post work sessions. 

There's a nice little pond in Fairfield where I take my kids (they both now caught and returned their first carp), but the fish seem to top out at around 10lbs. It fishes almost like a commercial fishery back in the UK.

Also interested in fishing together if anyone fishes near me. I feel like a right weirdo sometimes fishing for carp on my own when people ask! I'm hoping to come to the event in Middletown on the 21st of April.

Finally, a bit of a disclaimer, I'm a dedicated float, floater and stalker. Find it hard to sit still behind a rod pod for hours.

Anyway, now you all know most of my quirks, would really appreciate any suggestions.
