Carp
San Antonio might not be the first place that comes to mind for Carp fishing, but the urban waterways and surrounding lakes offer surprisingly good opportunities. The San Antonio River Walk, despite its touristy nature, holds a healthy population of carp that are accustomed to being fed, making them less wary of certain baits. However, don't underestimate their intelligence. The best times are spring and fall when the water temperatures are moderate. Corn, boilies, and dough baits are popular choices. A local tactic involves pre-baiting a spot for a few days before fishing to attract the carp. Also, be mindful of the current, especially after rainfall. Carp tend to congregate in slower-moving areas where they can conserve energy. Medina Lake and Calaveras Lake are also worth exploring, especially around submerged vegetation and shallow flats.
