Carp
While not as widely discussed as bass or stripers, Manning, South Carolina, and the Santee Cooper lakes offer surprisingly good carp fishing opportunities. These lakes hold a healthy population of common carp, often reaching impressive sizes. Spring and early summer, during the spawning season, can be particularly productive. Look for shallow, weedy areas or backwater sloughs where carp congregate. Simple corn rigs fished on the bottom are a staple, but experiment with boilies and other carp baits. Pre-baiting your chosen spot for a few days can significantly increase your chances of success. Access to the shoreline is good in many areas around the lakes, but be prepared for some muddy conditions. Respect the environment and pack out all your trash. Carp are often overlooked, but they can provide a challenging and rewarding angling experience.
