Got out for a little bit over a hour from 7:30-8:40.The carp have been going crazy, they are splashing all over the place.The hot bait for me has been a 1/32 chartreuse hair jig throwing at the dam.My totals were one 2lb+ drum that i gave away to some bucket ppl, 3 carp had about 15 carp hooked up they would always go to the same spot and get off,Must be a rock bar or timber.Also, i think the river is finally up to about normal summer time level.

Yes, you can get carp on jigs and other lures. Carp bang jigs pretty good in the spring, but I snag more than I actually hook. You might be snagging them if you hooked into 15 and they all got off. Do you bring back scales on any of these fish?
