The single closest park lake to my house is a sizable 27 acre body of water. As it offers all the conveniences of a city park (easy parking, easy to navigate, bathrooms), it’s my go-to water for a quick and/or easy session. Friends who have lived and fished in this area longer than I have insist that multiple 30lb+ fish were caught here. I started to fish this lake seriously in 2021. There are definitely carp here, but I have never seen any carp show. No jumps, no splashes. This likely has something to do with the pedal boats on the lake during the warmer months.
