Carp
Carp fishing in Pottsboro, Texas, specifically in Lake Texoma, presents a unique angling opportunity. While often overlooked, Texoma holds a healthy population of carp that can reach impressive sizes. The flats and shallow areas near the shoreline are ideal places to target them, especially during the warmer months. Pre-baiting your chosen spot with corn or boilies a day or two in advance can significantly increase your chances of success. A local tip is to locate areas with muddy bottoms, as carp often feed by sifting through the sediment. Using a hair rig with a boilie or corn kernel is a popular and effective method. Be patient, as carp can be wary, and a gentle presentation is key. The carp in Texoma are known for their strength and stamina, so be prepared for a long fight. Access to these areas is plentiful from the many shoreline parks and boat ramps around the lake. Remember to practice catch and release to help maintain the carp population for future anglers.
