Carp
Carp angling near Milbank, South Dakota, offers a unique and often overlooked fishing opportunity. The Whetstone River and the Big Stone Lake system are prime locations for targeting these powerful fish. Spring and early summer, when the carp are spawning, can be particularly productive. Pre-baiting your chosen swim with corn or boilies can significantly increase your chances of success. Consider using a hair rig with a boilie or corn kernel as bait. Look for carp in shallow, weedy areas or near submerged structure. Many anglers have success using pack bait around their hook bait. Be prepared for a fight, as carp are known for their strength and stamina. A good quality rod and reel, along with a strong line, are essential. Remember to handle carp with care and return them to the water unharmed. This area is known for its diverse ecosystem, so expect to see a variety of other wildlife while you're out fishing.
