A Carp in water, is a Fox on land.... You don't approach them like any other creature, they are a scavenger, hard to catch unless you have a near perfect environment with little to no other species to compete against and little to no predators to keep them in check, they are complicating fish, by means of diet, spawning, and all other means of habitat, you can't always expect one bait to work the same magic all year long, they go by what nutrients and amino acids they are the most deficient in, and seek out those sources. Certain organisms (that consist of a Carps diet) are at their peak populations in certain depths and certain seasons and months, allowing the Carp to have it's share of certain nutrients and Aminos during certain timeframes, and causing them to crave certain ones during different timeframes, maybe an environment is lacking certain aminos or nutrients, then that would cause the Carp to always crave those specific aminos or nutrients. Some substances can completely turn a carps feeding switch off, maybe year round, maybe certain timeframes.
Carp fishing is an experience like no other, you use gear and methods that are unheard of when it comes to the most popular gamefish, you see and learn things about fishing like you will never experience with other fish. When it comes to Carp fishermen, it's all about the fight, not only landing the fish, but hooking it, and getting a good hold with the hook and even finding/attracting the carp. When you go fishing, and catch a 2lb carp, consider yourself lucky, it is rare to catch a carp under 6-7lbs, unless you are in an area full of them.
Corn, who uses corn for bait , and bread :shock:, isn't this human food. Yes, I have heard it, some people think my corn is rotten because it's red from the cherry jello i add in it :lol:, no, it actually smells really good with the anise and vanilla also, but corn and bread are the basics for Carp bait, I prefer white bread, but I have heard wheat is better, I stick with what I know works. Corn contains an amino acid called Lysine, which some (including myself) believe is the main reason the Carp seek it out so readily, sometimes color can play a role in helping them spot it out, even though a Carp doesn't need much of the sight factor since they have unbelievable sniffers, one way to get there sniffer goin crazy from good distances is spices, such as black pepper, or even cayenne pepper, Capsacium (I hope the spellings right) is what plays the role in the Carp seeking the spices from a long distance, and Carp don't have the senses to tell somethings spicy. White Bread, from what I understand, is healthy for Carp, it is packed full of nutrients, which is why they readily accept it so often, and bread can acount for a heart pumping experience if floated on the surface in an area that sees a lot of bread, watching a carp gulp your bait off the surface, is an experience like no other.
