Carp
Carp fishing near Poquoson, Virginia, presents a unique opportunity to target these often-overlooked fish in both freshwater and brackish environments. While not as widely targeted as other species, the carp population is healthy and can offer a challenging fight. Focus your efforts on the freshwater sections of the Poquoson River and its tributaries, especially areas with muddy bottoms and submerged vegetation. Spring and summer are the best times, as the carp become more active in warmer water. A great local tip is to pre-bait your chosen spot with corn or bread a day or two before fishing to attract the carp. Also, experiment with different flavors of boilies; some anglers have found particular success with sweet or fruity flavors. Be aware that carp in brackish areas may have a slightly different diet, so adapt your bait accordingly. Public access to the river is available in several locations, making it relatively easy to find a spot to fish.
