Carp
Milpitas offers some surprisingly good carp fishing opportunities within its urban landscape. The local waterways, including the Guadalupe River and various sloughs connected to the San Francisco Bay, hold a healthy population of these often-overlooked fish. Spring and early summer are prime times as the carp move into shallower areas to spawn. Look for muddy or weedy areas with slower currents. A simple hair rig with corn or boilies is a reliable approach. Access can be tricky in some spots, but the trails along the Guadalupe River provide decent bank fishing opportunities. Be mindful of the tides in the sloughs, as they can significantly impact water levels and carp activity. The carp in these waters tend to be robust fighters, often exceeding 10 pounds, so be prepared for a good battle!
