we have some here in the parks and the Bronx River. Maybe I'll target some this season. Common carp require stealth, accuracy, and patience. learn to move slowly, wear polarized sunglasses and earth tone clothing. however, if they are spooked from a feeding area, all is not lost. many times they will return if you sit close to the ground and be patient enough to wait about an hour. the exception to this is when they are so badly spooked that they release fear hormones as they exit. In which case go to see a new film!
