Carp
While not always the primary target, carp fishing around Abbeville, Mississippi, can be surprisingly rewarding. The area's freshwater lakes and rivers, often overlooked by anglers seeking other species, hold a healthy population of carp that can reach impressive sizes. Spring and early summer are prime times, as carp move into shallower water to spawn. Try pre-baiting your chosen swim with maize or boilies a day or two in advance to attract the fish. A simple hair rig with a kernel of corn or a boilie is a common and effective tactic. Public access points can be limited in some areas, so research beforehand to identify suitable locations. Remember to handle carp with care, as they are an important part of the ecosystem. Check local regulations regarding carp fishing, as some waterways might have specific rules.
