Carp
Targeting carp near Rock Hill, South Carolina, requires understanding the forage base in the Catawba River and its tributaries. Spring and early summer are prime, as carp move into shallower waters to spawn. Look for them in backwaters and near grassy banks where they feed on emerging vegetation and insects. Later in the year, focus on areas with submerged timber or near creek mouths where natural food washes in. A simple hair rig with corn or dough baits is effective, but don't be afraid to experiment with local fruits or nuts for a unique presentation. Access to the Catawba is readily available at several public boat ramps and parks along the river. Be mindful of water levels, as heavy rains can significantly impact current and clarity, pushing carp into more sheltered areas. Don't overlook smaller creeks feeding the Catawba; these can hold surprising numbers of carp, especially after rainfall.
