The bite is better when the water is warmer, but you can still get them in winter.
Yeah, when you see them jumping (like now) they're breeding. Breeding carp won't bite, but not all carp breed at the same time in the same body of water. So really all the carp are doing is giving away their location by jumping. You can bet if one jumps, there's a couple down below him eating away...
I'm looking forward to exploring some new areas for carp, aside from around the marinas. My goal is to get the lake/state record...which means I need to find a 30+
