Carp
Carp fishing in Hoover might not be the first thing that comes to mind, but the area's many ponds and lakes offer surprisingly good opportunities for targeting these often-overlooked fish. Look to the slower-moving sections of the Cahaba River, as well. Spring and fall are ideal times, as the carp are more active in cooler water. Pre-baiting a spot with corn or boilies can significantly increase your chances of success. A simple hair rig with a kernel of corn or a boilie is a standard presentation. Many public parks around Hoover have ponds that hold carp, providing easy access. Be prepared for a good fight; these fish can get quite large and are strong swimmers. The carp here are generally wary, so a stealthy approach and a long cast can be beneficial. Remember to practice catch and release to help maintain the population.
