Carp
While not often touted, Edgefield, South Carolina, and the surrounding Savannah River impoundments, like Lake Strom Thurmond, offer surprisingly good carp fishing. These often-overlooked giants can be found in the lake's backwaters, creeks, and along the dam faces. Spring and early summer are excellent times to target carp as they move into shallower areas to spawn. A simple hair rig baited with corn or boilies is a proven method. Pre-baiting your chosen spot for a few days can dramatically increase your success. Local knowledge suggests that the Little River arm of Lake Strom Thurmond holds a healthy population of carp. Be prepared for a battle, as these fish can grow to impressive sizes and put up a strong fight. Remember to handle carp with care, as they are a valuable part of the ecosystem.
