Carp
Carp fishing in Henderson, Kentucky, is often overlooked, but the Ohio River and its backwaters offer excellent opportunities for landing some hefty fish. These powerful fish thrive in the muddy waters and are abundant throughout the area. Spring and early summer, during spawning, is a prime time to target them in shallow, weedy areas. Corn, dough balls, and boilies are effective baits. A local tip: Pre-baiting an area for a few days can significantly increase your chances of success. Look for carp in the slower-moving sections of the river and in the numerous sloughs and backwaters. Access is available via several public access points along the Ohio River. Be prepared for a fight – these fish can put up a serious battle!
