Frustrating as it is, carp fishing is
awesome. Carp are really good at sucking in and blowing out suspicious baits.
It's such an excitement to see the whole action in a fraction of a second as
you hang on for dear life while the reel is trembling with a loud noise.
Carp happily devour on the surface as
long as you keep the pellets, biscuits, chic peas, bread, and re-hydrated corn
coming in, and these are inexpensive baits as well. Just attach them to the
hooks, most preferably the bread. Have the biscuits softened by dipping it in
the water for about 2 minutes, then, place them in a sealed sandwich bag for
about an hour. Since different brands have different textures, just experiment
to know which is firm enough to cast. Another way to hook baits is super gluing
the pellet into the shank.
Once they get into feeding, let them feel
comfortable around the bait. This gives more opportunity for the fisherman
since they begin to not feel picky. This tactic can be useful for zig rigs.
As soon as they're feeding, cast the bait
but make sure not to drop the bait directly onto the feeding carp. Cast away
from the feeding area then slowly draw it in position. While the bait is till
hanging, keep the food coming in so as to keep the carp from going away.
How to Set-Up?
- Use a hair rig to increase your chance of catching.
As carp taste food first, if they don't like the taste, they won't come near
it.
- You may also use a Spider Line, 50 lbs test, then
use a leader material that fits the situation.
- Thread the bait on the baiting needle and hook the
hair loop. You may also use foam dipped in a flavor as this enhances the
attractiveness of the bait.
- Also make a baiting needle by just straightening a
long shank hook. Slide the bait on the shank, then slide the bait from the
needle onto the hair.
- Using a float is also an advantage because it adds
weight for further distancing and the location is easily identified.
- Don't forget the controller float rig. A leader can
be used which is attached to the swivel to its mainline of at least 3 feet
length with a 10lbs Drennan double strength. A low diameter mono will do just
as long as it floats well enough for visibility.
As experts say, it is not the bait that
catches the carp but the method in which the bait is introduced. Pre-bait
everyday, in one spot for a few days. This makes the carp think that there is a
regular source of food for them and by "word of mouth" there'll soon be a
school of fish around. Just be patient and it will all work.
