Carp
For carp anglers seeking a rewarding experience, New Castle, Kentucky, presents some unique freshwater opportunities. The slower-moving sections of the local rivers and creeks provide ideal habitat for carp. Summer is arguably the best time to target carp, as they are most active in warmer water. Pre-baiting a spot with corn or boilies for a few days can significantly increase your chances of success. Look for areas with muddy bottoms and submerged vegetation. A local tip is to use hair rigs with sweet corn or flavored boilies. Ground baiting with a mixture of bread crumbs and corn can also attract carp to your fishing area. Be patient and use a sensitive bite alarm, as carp can be subtle feeders. The carp in this area are known to grow to impressive sizes, so be prepared for a good fight!
