Carp
Carp angling in Lake Alfred and the connected Butler Chain presents a unique and often overlooked opportunity. These powerful fish thrive in the Florida waters and can reach impressive sizes. Spring and fall are excellent times to target them, as they become more active with moderate temperatures. Focus on areas with submerged vegetation, shallow flats, and near the mouths of canals. A simple hair rig with corn, boilies, or dough baits is effective. Pre-baiting your chosen spot for a few days can significantly increase your chances. Lake Alfred Park provides good access to the lake. Be patient, as carp can be wary, and use a strong line and a sensitive bite alarm. The canals connecting the lakes often hold good numbers of carp, offering sheltered spots to fish.
