Carp
New Castle, Virginia, offers some surprisingly good carp fishing opportunities, especially in the James River and its tributaries. While not traditionally known as a carp hotspot, the James provides the deep, slow-moving water carp thrive in. Look for them near structure like fallen trees, bridge pilings, and weed beds. The best time to target carp here is late spring through early fall, when water temperatures are warmer. Pre-baiting your chosen spot with corn or boilies for a few days can significantly increase your chances of success. Public access to the James River is available at several points along Route 615. Be prepared for a good fight, as the carp in this river can grow quite large. A sturdy rod and reel are essential, along with a good quality line. Because the river can be turbid, using scented baits can increase your hookups.
