If you're looking for carp in North Carolina, Aberdeen might surprise you. While not as widely known as other carp hotspots, the area's numerous small ponds and reservoirs hold good populations of common carp. Consider exploring waterways connected to the Little River. Spring and fall offer the most consistent action, as carp are more active in moderate temperatures. Pre-baiting your chosen spot with corn or boilies for a few days can significantly increase your chances of success. Local tip: Many of these ponds are on private property, so always obtain permission before fishing. Look for areas with shallow, weedy margins or submerged structure, as carp often congregate in these locations. The carp in this region tend to be wary, so use light tackle and a stealthy approach. Landing a double-digit carp is definitely within reach here.
