Carp
If you're targeting carp in northeast Arkansas, Gilmore offers access to some fantastic, under-fished locations. The slow-moving bayous and backwaters connected to the Mississippi River are prime spots for these golden giants. Spring and early summer, when the carp are spawning, are arguably the best times to visit. Look for shallow, weedy areas where they congregate. A simple dough ball or corn rig fished on the bottom is usually effective. Remember, these fish can be incredibly strong, so be prepared for a battle. Access can be tricky in some areas, so scouting ahead is crucial. Many spots are only accessible by foot or small boat. A good starting point is the public access near the levee; from there, you can explore the adjacent waterways. Be mindful of private property and always pack out your trash.
