Hi Bluefish94! A 4 pound carp is good!
It is still trout season therefore I have not tried going for carps yet. From past summer experiences, I usually throw my bait/fly about 1 foot ahead of the target fish and wait for the take. If the water is muddy, just estimate where your fly is and tighten the line as the carp pass the spot. If the carp does not get spooked, then slowly retrieve your line and cast again 1 foot above the target fish. Carps are easily spooked and very selective on what they take in so have patience, the reward is as exciting as having a bluefish pull your line hard and tight.
Happy fishing.
