Carp
Carp angling around Ennis, Texas, presents a unique and often overlooked opportunity for some serious rod-bending action. While not as widely targeted as bass or crappie, Lake Bardwell and the Trinity River offer excellent carp fishing. These fish can reach impressive sizes, often exceeding 20 pounds! Spring and summer are ideal times, as the carp become more active in warmer water. Try using boilies, corn, or dough baits fished on a hair rig. A local tip: pre-baiting an area for a few days can significantly increase your chances of success. Also, be prepared for long fights, as carp are known for their stamina. Look for areas with shallow, weedy margins or near submerged structure. The carp population in this area is robust, offering anglers a chance to test their skills against a powerful and challenging fish.
