Well the easiest thing you could do is get some stiff tackle and simply throw out a gob of nightcrawlers…..You’ll catch ’em.

Keep it simple. #6 or #4 hook, some sweet corn or a crawler gob, split shot for weight. Slip sinker rigs work well, too. There is a ton of info on the good ol’ interweb, as the Brits have been finesse rigging carp for years. Those guys sure know how to make a relatively simple thing pretty darn complicated.
If you watch the carp long enough, you’ll see that they often follow the same path back and forth through an area, like deer using trails. Cast your bait into that trail. When they’re close to shore, you can sometimes see them take the bait. That’s a lot of fun.
Things might be a little slow right now, depending on where they’re at with the spawn. They aren’t too interested in eating when they’re doin’ the nasty.
Good luck!
June 11, 2008 at 5:12 pm #691910Corn or bread works well too. Make sure you use a proper hook, not too big or too weak. I have had cheap Eagle Claw hooks completely bent in a circle by a big carp.

February 25, 2011 at 7:46 pm #101103gear has been checked, and double checked, supplies bought, truck packed, house checked AT LEAST 3 times to make sure nothing is being left behind with one more walk through tonight. Just bought my license, and it’s almost game on!!!! 11 Hours and the truck will be heading south for warmer fields.
all I can say is CAN I GO HOME NOW? I have ZERO desire to work.
