Boatless Fishing Forum, Reports, Info

A friend just called me up and invited me for a little trip so i was like "why not". He said were gonna go get some carp and i was thinking ok maybe a 10 pounder if were lucky. First cast and 10 min later we had this guy on shore.

nice fish i wouldnt mind have him in my pool

wow lol

Nice carp bro, reminds me of when i used to target them about 4 years back. Freshwater bread madness! LOL

bread thats iht? u didnt get like bluegills or something tacken ur bait?

why kind of bait do carp hit?

There vegi eaters for the most part. I have used bread to catch most of mine. Ive seen them caught on straight up leafs tho. look for canals and lakes where they have just cut the grass and you should see quite a few romming and munching on top.

I just use big bread chunks, roll a ball half the size of your fist.
You usually get carp and catfish this way down here.

nice grass carp

i have a couple of lakes around in my nieborhood how do i tell if it has grass carp in it

Niiiice

Well i am shocked a fish of that size would be worth about £600 in the uk a beautiful specimen, and know many anglers near where live would cry if they were eaten in this county but i do think its quite funny imaging their blubbering faces as im a sea angler hahahahha

I used to target them all the time in CA. The best bait I found for them is kennel corn. Just open a can of corn and chum a place and fish right on the chum. It'll take about 30mins for the carp to find the chum. Use small hooks, #4 and just hook the corn on. Use the lightest weight you can. If you are using bread, don't even put any weight on it. The weight of the bread should let you cast a good distance.

Carp are very easy to spook, so tread very carefully and hide if they are feeding a few ft away, they can see you and stop feeding.
