Carp
Chester, Georgia, offers some surprisingly good carp fishing opportunities in its local ponds and slower-moving sections of the Oconee River. These fish are often overlooked, but can provide a great fight! Spring and early summer are ideal, as carp are actively feeding and spawning. Pre-baiting a spot for a few days with corn or boilies can significantly increase your success. Try fishing near the Highway 16 bridge on the Oconee River. There's bank access, and carp often congregate in the deeper holes and around submerged structure. A simple hair rig with a kernel of corn or a boilie is a classic carp setup. Remember that carp are sensitive to disturbance, so use quiet presentations and avoid making sudden movements. The carp in the Oconee River system can reach impressive sizes, so be prepared for a good battle. Respect the fish and practice catch-and-release to help maintain the population.
