Carp
Carp fishing in the Dothan, Alabama area offers a unique angling experience for those seeking a challenging and often overlooked species. The slower-moving sections of the Choctawhatchee River and its backwaters, as well as many of the larger ponds and lakes, hold substantial populations of carp. Spring and fall are generally the best times to target them, as they are more active in moderate temperatures. Pre-baiting a spot with corn or boilies for a few days can significantly increase your chances of success. A key local tip is to use a hair rig, which allows the carp to take the bait without feeling the hook immediately. Access to the river is available at several public boat ramps, but be prepared for muddy conditions. The carp in this area can grow to impressive sizes, offering a true test of your angling skills.
