Carp
Carp fishing near River Bend might not be the first thing that comes to mind, but the Trent and Neuse Rivers hold a surprising number of these powerful fish. Often overlooked, carp can provide a challenging and rewarding angling experience. Spring and fall are the best times to target them, as they become more active in moderate temperatures. Look for them in slower-moving sections of the river, near structure like fallen trees or weed beds. A popular technique is to use a hair rig with boilies or corn as bait. Pre-baiting an area for a few days can significantly increase your chances of success. The Trent River near the Creekside Park is a good place to start. Be prepared for a strong fight, as carp are known for their stamina. While not traditionally eaten in this region, carp are a sustainable and sporting fish. Always practice catch and release to help maintain the population. Remember to use barbless hooks to minimize harm to the fish.
