Carp
Carp fishing around McKinney, Texas, presents a unique angling opportunity, especially in the area's many ponds, creeks, and even the edges of larger reservoirs. These fish are surprisingly abundant and can grow to impressive sizes. Spring and summer are ideal, when water temperatures rise and carp become more active. Pre-baiting your chosen spot with corn or boilies a day or two in advance can significantly increase your chances of success. Look for areas with shallow, weedy margins or near submerged structure. A simple hair rig with a kernel of corn or a boilie is a highly effective setup. Be prepared for a strong fight, as carp are powerful fish. Many of the smaller ponds in the area are accessible from public parks, offering easy access for bank fishing. Remember to always practice catch and release to help maintain the health of the carp population.
