Carp
Targeting carp around Mooresville, North Carolina, means understanding the dynamics of Lake Norman and its tributaries. This sprawling reservoir, fed by the Catawba River, offers diverse carp habitat, from shallow, weedy coves to deeper, open water. Spring and early summer are prime times as carp move into the shallows to spawn, gorging themselves on emerging vegetation. Autumn can also be productive as they feed heavily before winter. A local tip: chumming with corn or boilies in pre-selected spots a day or two before fishing can significantly increase your chances. Look for areas with submerged timber or rocky outcroppings that provide cover. Be aware that the water level in Lake Norman can fluctuate, so check the Duke Energy lake levels before heading out. The carp here can be quite large, often exceeding 20 pounds, so use appropriate tackle.
