Carp
Carp fishing around St. Marys, Kansas, offers consistent action and the chance to catch some surprisingly large fish. The Kansas River is a prime location, teeming with carp that thrive in its nutrient-rich waters. Look for them in slower-moving sections, backwaters, and near vegetation. Spring and early summer, when carp are spawning, can be particularly productive. Sweet corn is a classic bait, but boilies and dough baits also work well.
