Carp
Carp fishing near West, Texas, offers a unique angling experience, often overlooked by traditional bass anglers. Lake Waco, again within reach, holds a healthy population of carp that can reach impressive sizes. These fish thrive in the lake's diverse habitat. Focus your efforts on areas with submerged vegetation or near creek mouths. Pre-baiting your chosen spot with corn or boilies for a few days can significantly increase your chances of success. A simple hair rig with a boilie or corn kernel is a common and effective method. Be patient, as carp can be wary. A local tip: use a heavy weight to keep your bait anchored in the often-muddy bottom of Lake Waco. Also, be prepared for a strong fight – these fish are surprisingly powerful.
