Carp
Carp anglers visiting Kemp, Texas should set their sights on Cedar Creek Reservoir. While primarily known for its bass fishing, Cedar Creek also holds a significant population of carp that often go overlooked. Focus your efforts in the coves and backwaters where the water is shallower and warmer, especially during the spring spawning season. Pre-baiting is key here; a mixture of corn, oats, and molasses can draw them in. Try fishing near the dam where there is deeper water. A useful tip: utilize a running rig with a hair rig and boilies, as this setup allows the carp to take the bait without feeling immediate resistance. Access is readily available via numerous public boat ramps around the lake. The carp in Cedar Creek are generally healthy and can reach impressive sizes, with some specimens exceeding 20 pounds. Remember to practice catch and release to help maintain the fishery for future anglers.
