Carp

Carp fishing in Aragon, GA, presents a unique and often overlooked angling opportunity. While not a traditional hotspot, the area's ponds and slow-moving rivers offer suitable habitat for carp to thrive. These fish can often be found in the Oostanaula River and its tributaries. Spring and summer are ideal, as warmer water temperatures increase their activity. Pre-baiting a spot with corn or boilies can significantly improve your chances of success. A simple hair rig with a kernel of corn is a proven method. Look for carp in shallow, weedy areas or near submerged structure. Be patient, as carp can be wary, but their powerful runs make them a rewarding catch. A local tip: try fishing near bridge pilings or any area where people might regularly feed ducks or other waterfowl, as carp often congregate in these areas. Remember to handle carp with care and release them unharmed.
