Places to Catch Carp

According to the Michigan Department of Natural Resources website the following lakes in Oakland County Michigan are lakes known to have high concentrations of common carp.

             Big Lake

             Big Seven Lake

             Cass Lake

             Cedar Island Lake

             Crystal Lake

             Heron Lake

             Kent Lake

             Lake Oakland

             Lake Orion

             Middle Straits Lake

             Pontiac Lake

             Proud Lake (upper & lower)

             Stony Creek Lake

             Upper Silver Lake

             Valley Lake

             White Lake

             Wildwood Lake

             Wolverine Lake

I've never fished any of those lakes to this point, but I plan to them on my "to fish" list for 2014. It makes sense that if you want to catch carp regularly, then fishing areas known to have high concentrations of carp should increase the odds.
Here's a video I found from carp being caught at Kent Lake:



 
The Ohio DNR also has some information available to help improve carp fishing skills for the beginner (like me). This information sheds light on some key traits and characteristics of carp behavior throughout the year.
