Carp
Carp fishing around St. John, North Dakota, provides a surprisingly accessible and rewarding experience. While often overlooked, carp are plentiful in many of the region's lakes and ponds, offering a great opportunity for anglers of all skill levels. Look for carp in shallow, weedy areas, especially near creek mouths or inlets. Pre-baiting your chosen spot with corn or boilies can significantly increase your chances of success. Spring and summer are the best times to target carp, as they are actively feeding and spawning. A simple hair rig with a kernel of corn or a boilie is an effective presentation. Be prepared for a strong fight, as carp are known for their powerful runs. A local tip is to chum the water with a handful of corn every hour or so to keep the carp interested. Many of the smaller lakes offer easy bank access, making them ideal for carp fishing. Remember to handle carp with care and release them unharmed.
