Carp
Carp fishing in Lake Whitney offers a unique angling experience for those willing to target these often-overlooked fish. The lake's expansive shoreline and diverse structure provide ample habitat for carp to thrive. Spring and summer are generally considered the best times to target carp, as they become more active in warmer water. Pre-baiting an area with corn or boilies can significantly increase your chances of success. Look for carp in shallow, weedy areas or near submerged timber. A popular local tactic is to fish near the Brazos River inlets, as the carp often congregate there to feed. Lake Whitney carp can reach impressive sizes, with some specimens exceeding 30 pounds. Be sure to use appropriate tackle, including a strong rod and reel, as well as a durable line to handle the powerful runs of these fish.
