Default Freshwater Carp Report

Hey guys,

Tried to go fishing for carp for the first time with no luck. Went to the D&R Canal over by the rt287 bridge and used corn as chum and put 3 on a hook. No luck but I will be trying for carp again for the next time I go out... Any suggestions?Was I too far north?

I am wondering if they are all the way up the canal where I was fishing... But yea, I guess I will have to chum and try again!!! Is there something I should be looking for when I am picking a spot on the canal? I fished about 50m away from a lock on the upstream side...
