Hello everyone I joined recently and noticed I havent heard a word about a bait we use for carp in the south when corn just dont do it. Its a type a doughball you can get from the stores. wheaties, or bran flakes. Depending on mood of wheather the fish want light or dark. Wheaties being a little lighter. pour you some wheaties in a rag crunch up good and dip in water. Then ring out good make a large dough ball just break off small piece and ball it up around your hook. You cant sling it hard or it will sling off like liver. But it put out the scent they love in the creeks in the south. On average carps around here run from 10 to 25 lbs. Catch a grandma every now and then get around 40lb. I wish every one the best of luck with the fishing season to come. |

Hello all,
I am new to this site. I have been looking at some of the pictures posted here and I couldn't help but notice the rigs you guys use on the banks to hold your rods. That is quite the get up! I really like it. I checked the store on here to and saw what they cost. Wow! But well worth it, better than loosing a rod and real. Nice, I just wonder who came up with it? I ask that as I have come up with a rod holder for use on piers and docks.
I fish alot from a boat ,the bank and from docks and piers. There is a river that runs through out town here in Williamsport, Pa. and I fish mainly for Bass, but there are alot of carp in our river. They have an anual tournament for carp fishing here. They meet right up the river from where I live and then the people go miles up and down this river to catch their carp. They return at a givin time to weigh in their fish. The biggest fish wins and the most fish win as well. It is a day long thing for the guys and gals to get out and do some fishing. At the end of it all the Amish people take the fish caught and use them for thier fields to grow crops. All in all it helps to reduce the fish population here and it gives the Amish some fertilizer to use for free. So nothing is waisted. Around these parts carp are not a game fish or should I say a fish that gets much respect. I do know when I have caught them they fight like a caged mad dog! Fun to catch but no one I know eats them. I just put them back, Catch and release. They are fun to catch and I have taken my son fishing for them when he was a young boy. What fun it is to watch a little guy or gal real in a big one! Makes their day and mine! Just wanted to stop off a few lines to say hello and give a little background on here.
Thanks for having me!

in the southern part of the united states,this part of the year we like to use ground (fine) trout chow.one way of making it is 3 pounds of chow to every one can of cream corn and 3tbls of flavoring whatever your preference is,mine is butternut.This bait has won me several tornaments also not a bad nightime summer bait.You still must use some type of pickup on your hook given this is a breaking bait(corn pops).

Whenever you go carp fishing you cast the line out, place the rod in its holder and wait, right? What happens if you turn for a second and when you look back the line on your rod went slack and no fish. Has it happened to you? A few years ago while browsing in my local Walmart stores fishing department I came across a pack containing bells to attach to fishing rods. I purchased the pack only to realize when I tried them on my rod that unless you have a rod with a thin tip it will not attach. Trust me I broke the first set. First thought was that its a shame because the bells had a real sensitive sound to them. The slightest movement and you could hear the bells right away. So I had an Idea. I went to my local hardware store and purchased a pack of alligator clips, not to big about an inch and a half long. The bells had a small spring attached to each of them with the other end attached to the plastic that was supposed to attach to the rod. I pulled the spring off the plastic and placed that end from both of the bells into the end of the alligator clip. Then I crimped the end of the alligator clip with a pair of pliers and then heated alittle solder on the end to make sure the spring cannot come loose. Now I can use this on a rod no matter what the thickness of the rod is, although I prefer attaching it on the line guide at the tip of the rod. Now I have piece of mind. I can't tell you how many times I've turned my head to pick up my cup of coffee or reach into my tackle box for something and only for a split second and suddenly hear the bell. Even if it was just slightly, but now I knew I had a hit. Also, if you should get a hit and grab your rod to set the hook, have no fear the bell will stay on your rod even while fighting the big ones until you bring them in and then you can remove them so you can cast your line back out and attach it back on the end of your rod. Good luck.
