I wish I could tell u but I don't think there is many places u could go to and catch carp.
Most likely carp will be found in areas that are private not public.

you know actually i saw a saltwater fishing show and two guys were fishing in like miami or tampa something (i remember it was in florida though) they were fishing for peacocks in some river that must have been in brackish water because they caught a small snook... anyway there was a small tree with small crab apples or beach nuts under it and they caught a carp out from underneath the tree. must have been two years ago when i watched it.

Carp were stocked in South Florida to try and clean the waterways of hydrilla and such. Not sure if they stocked them up by you. They are sterile so probably won't spread far.
