RE: Best time for carp in the Midwest?
Here in WI, except for the couple of days when they spawn, the late summer, in my opinion is the best time to go after them. They are feeding heavily, mostly on the surface, slurping duck weed or just cruising around looking for food. They're easier to stalk cause the water vegetation is heavier. I get a lot just moseying along my favorite shoreline, looking ahead for swirls or listening for slurps.
