Seasonal Activity Chart
Carp
Carp fishing around Arkadelphia, Arkansas offers a unique and challenging experience, particularly in the Ouachita River and its backwaters. Spring and early summer are ideal, as carp become more active in warmer water and begin their spawning rituals. Look for them in shallow, weedy areas, backwater sloughs, and near submerged structure. Unlike some other species, carp readily accept a variety of baits. Corn, dough balls, and boilies are all popular choices. Pre-baiting an area can significantly increase your chances of success. A good access point is the area around the Highway 67 bridge over the Ouachita River, where you can often find carp feeding in the shallows. Be mindful of water levels and clarity, as carp prefer slightly murky water. The carp in this area can grow to impressive sizes, often exceeding 20 pounds, providing a thrilling fight for anglers patient enough to target them. Remember to use appropriate tackle, including strong line and a sensitive bite alarm.
