Carp
If you're after carp in South Carolina, Lamar offers some surprisingly good opportunities in its freshwater systems. Look to the local ponds and slower-moving sections of the Lynches River for some of the best action. These waters hold a healthy population of common carp that can reach impressive sizes. Spring and early summer are prime times, as the carp move into shallower areas to spawn. Pre-baiting a spot with corn or boilies a day or two in advance can significantly increase your chances. A good access point is the public landing on the Lynches River off Highway 15, though be prepared for muddy conditions, especially after rain. Remember that carp in this area can be line-shy, so consider using fluorocarbon leaders. The carp here aren't particularly pressured, so presentation is often more critical than specific bait choices.
