Carp through the ice?

[MikeThePike]

Has anyone ever tried/ had success with carp through the ice? The only places within 15-20 minutes of me that I can ice fish without worrying about getting kicked off only hold carp and catfish. I'd much rather try fishing those places if I only have a few hours to fish rather than drive a half hour or more.

they will bite how well though i am not sure   im sure if theres a ton in the lake your fishing and its pretty much the only speacies thats in there you could find them and find out how to catch them i do know they fight really well almost like a walleye (through the ice that is)


good luck   FK

I had never caught a carp through the ice until just this year.  Saw three come through the ice that day at one of the area ponds.  Also caught a catfish through the ice that day which was also a first.  Last year, and so far this year at another reservoir we have caught numerous suckers through the ice.  All these fish were caught on small teardrop jigs tipped with a waxworm fished near the bottom.

One of my fishing buddies seems to have the knack for catching them, I've seen him catch carp and suckers thru the ice on sweedish pimples and tear drops.
{ by accident}  I always tease him about his trophy Large lipped Halibits and
The monster Bronze back sturgens, we all get a charge out of it.
