Carp
Carp fishing near Trinidad, California, offers a unique challenge in a scenic environment. While not as popular as targeting salmon or trout, carp can be found in some of the larger lagoons and slower-moving rivers in the region. Big Lagoon and Stone Lagoon are potential locations to explore. Spring and early summer, when the water warms up, are generally the best times to target carp as they become more active and move into shallower areas to spawn. Pre-baiting your chosen spot for a few days beforehand can significantly increase your chances of success. A helpful local tip is to use a Carolina rig with a hair rig setup, baited with corn or boilies. Be mindful of the sensitive ecosystem of these lagoons; practice catch-and-release and avoid disturbing the surrounding vegetation. The carp in this area may not reach the same size as those found in more established carp fisheries, but they can still provide a good fight and a rewarding experience for anglers willing to try something different.
