Carp
Carp fishing around Hickory Grove presents a unique angling opportunity in the slower-moving sections of the Catawba River and its tributaries. These overlooked waters hold a healthy population of carp, often reaching impressive sizes. Spring and early summer, when water temperatures are rising and carp are actively spawning, are prime times to target them. Pre-baiting your chosen spot with corn or boilies for a few days beforehand can significantly increase your chances of success. A key local tip is to focus on areas with structure, such as submerged trees or rocky outcroppings, as carp tend to congregate around these features. The carp in this area are known to be wary, so using a stealthy approach and natural-looking baits is crucial. Also, be prepared for a strong fight – these fish can put up a serious battle on light tackle!
