Most people do not come to Lake Erie to fish for carp, however, if you’re looking to catch a big carp, you can definitely do that. There are so many carp throughout the lake and some very large carp can be found throughout the lake and area tributaries. From late spring through early summer, anglers will find a lot of carp in the bays, harbors and tributaries, so this is your best bet if you want a shot to catch multiple large fish. If you pursue them in the summer and fall months, there are still plenty of fish around, but not as many will be up in the shallow water that you see in the late spring through early summer months.
