About Carp Fishing in Minnesota

Yes, I said carp. River fishing for carp can offer one heck of a fight! Anchor up, throw out the bait, and wait for them to come to you. A very relaxing way to fish with the possibility of catching carp up to 30 lbs. On lighter tackle that can turn into a 20-30 minute battle. Very basic and fun times!
