Carp
Elkton, Kentucky, might not be the first place that comes to mind for carp fishing, but the overlooked lakes and rivers around Todd County offer some surprisingly good opportunities. These often-turbid waters hold a healthy population of common carp that can reach impressive sizes. The best time to target them is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall, when they are actively feeding. Pre-baiting a spot with corn or boilies can significantly increase your chances of success. A good starting point is the Mud River. Access can be a bit tricky in places, so scout your location carefully. Remember, carp in Kentucky can be quite wary, so use strong tackle and be prepared for a good fight. Chumming is permitted, but always check local regulations to ensure compliance.
