Carp

For Carp anglers visiting East Dublin, Georgia, the Oconee River offers some decent opportunities. Focus on areas with slower currents and plenty of vegetation, like backwaters and near bridge pilings. The best times are spring and fall when water temperatures are moderate. Corn and boilies are the go-to baits here. Pre-baiting a spot for a few days will significantly increase your chances of success. A good public access point is the boat ramp near the Highway 80 bridge. Be aware of the river's fluctuating water levels, which can affect carp feeding patterns. Local carp tend to be wary, so use longer leaders and a stealthy approach. Fish in the 5-15 pound range are common, with the occasional larger specimen to be found.
