In all the conventional carp wisdom out there, I always see it said that cruisers, or fish just hanging out on top in deep water aren't the ones you're after. I'd tend to agree, but I have one spot where there's usually packs of 4-5 carp swimming around, and if you cast at them like a school of tarpon, you can usually get one to break off and eat a slowly stripped damsel nymph.
Has anyone else experienced this behavior or something similar? I'm curious what fish besides the classic "tail up" eaters you successfully target.
