Carp
Carp anglers will find Kerman, California, offers some surprisingly productive fishing opportunities. The extensive network of irrigation canals and agricultural ponds in the area hold a healthy population of carp. Spring and early summer, when the carp are spawning, can be particularly exciting. Corn, dough balls, and boilies are all effective baits. Look for areas with shallow, weedy margins or near structures like bridges and culverts. A key strategy is to pre-bait your chosen spot for a few days before fishing to attract the carp. Be prepared for long fights, as these fish can be quite strong. Access to the canals is generally good, but be respectful of private property and avoid blocking access to agricultural fields. Remember to use barbless hooks to minimize harm to the fish, as catch-and-release is encouraged.
