Carp

Carp fishing in the lakes surrounding Leesburg, Florida, presents a unique angling challenge. These often-overlooked fish can grow to impressive sizes and offer a good fight. While carp can be caught year-round, the warmer months tend to be more productive, especially in the shallows. Focus your efforts in areas with abundant vegetation, such as lily pads or hydrilla. Pre-baiting your fishing spot with corn or boilies can attract carp to the area. Use a hair rig with a small hook and a boilie or corn kernel as bait. Patience is key, as carp can be wary. Public access to the Harris Chain of Lakes is readily available, allowing anglers to explore different areas. Look for muddy or silty bottoms, as carp often feed in these areas. Remember to use appropriate tackle, as large carp can put up a strong fight.
