About when do you think these carp on the river spawned...early June?

[Doop]

Where on the St.Louis are you guys seeing the carp?

I've never been on this river...usually drive over it though on my way to Birch or Vermilion. Next spring i'd like to join in on the carp fun.

[SKIPPERS KID]

This year they started spawning june 20th and that was really good for the next 2 weeks. They are still shallow and good hunting but the sun must be out just to see them. But we have not shot any real big ones for awhile. The average size now is 10- to - 15 lbs. The 20 to 40 lbs are harder to find after the spawn but they are there some where . We have been out from spirit lake to the oliver bridge. The hotter it is and warm water the better it is they really like it 82 degrease. I hope you do try it it is a blast .

I've been shooting carp for about 10 years now...haven't done much since i've moved down here in Texas. We generally go to the Detroit Lakes area...but in the past few years...there haven't been near as many carp. I'd like to try some new area...might have to come over to the river!

When you go out...do you generally see a lot of other bowfisherman?

[SKIPPERS KID]

When you go out... Any time the sun is out . Do you generally see a lot of other bowfisherman? Now There is not a lot of presser on them But there are a few and I hunt with them and there is a few more I do not know so there is room for more .
