Carp
Carp fishing in the Lady Lake area is an often-overlooked, yet rewarding pursuit. The Harris Chain of Lakes, with its diverse habitats and abundant forage, provides ideal conditions for these often-misunderstood fish. Look for carp in shallow, weedy areas, especially near lily pads and hydrilla. Pre-baiting a spot with corn or boilies can significantly increase your chances of success. Spring and early summer are excellent times to target carp, as they become more active in warmer water. A local tip: The Dead River, connecting Lake Eustis and Lake Harris, is a known hotspot for carp, particularly where it widens into shallow bays. Be patient, as carp can be wary, and use a sensitive bite alarm to detect subtle takes. Remember to use barbless hooks to minimize harm to the fish, and practice catch and release to help maintain the population.
