Carp
Carp angling around Mosheim, Tennessee, can be surprisingly rewarding, though it's a bit of a hidden gem. While not a traditional carp destination, the Holston River and its backwaters, easily accessible from Mosheim, hold a healthy population of common carp. These fish are often overlooked but can provide a thrilling fight. Spring and fall are ideal, as carp become more active in shallower water. Pre-baiting your chosen spot with corn or boilies for a few days can significantly increase your chances. A good starting point is any area with slow-moving water and abundant vegetation. Locals often use pack baits with corn and breadcrumbs. Be aware that carp in this area can be quite wary, so using a stealthy approach and light tackle can be beneficial. Also, check local regulations, as some areas may have restrictions on baiting.
