Carp
Carp fishing in Foster City's lagoon system is a surprisingly rewarding experience. These urban waterways, while not typically associated with carp, hold a healthy population of these powerful fish. Spring and fall are ideal, as the water temperatures are moderate, and the carp are actively feeding. Pre-baiting your chosen spot with corn or boilies for a few days can significantly increase your chances of success. Popular techniques include using hair rigs with boilies or corn, or fishing with dough baits on a simple running ledger rig. The carp in Foster City can be quite wary, so using fluorocarbon leaders and minimizing disturbance is crucial. Access is generally good along the lagoon's edge, but be respectful of residents and private property. Look for areas with overhanging trees or submerged structure, as these provide cover for the carp. Don't underestimate the fight these fish put up in these relatively small waters!
