Some Carp Fishing Bait Secrets
Thursday, 17 December 2009 08:21 | Written by Peter Hooper
If you're serious about landing a big one, then you need a proven and tested carp fishing bait. Bringing in one of these big fighters can be a thrill you never forget. People fish for them all the time just for that reason. They aren't popular for eating and most people shy away from it. But some people know that if you cut out the mud-line, which is an orange line down either side of the meat, you can eat a carp.

But some people know that if you cut out the mud-line, which is an orange line down either side of the meat, you can eat a carp.
As far as bait goes, there are three main baits that we small town anglers have proven year after year to catch the big carp. In a small town like mine, we had nothing much else to do for entertainment but fish, so it's just part of our lifestyle. We soon learned what types of bait were best for whatever type of fish we were after on that particular day.
The first good bait I want to share with you is what we call a 'dough ball'. It's made from 'Shredded Wheat', which is a cereal we ate growing up. You simply take one of the shredded wheat biscuits and dip it under the water, and then start mashing and molding it into a round ball. It may take a couple of dunks to get it right, but when you finish you have a round ball that will hold together fine in the water. Then sink your hook into the center until you can't see it, and cast it out. The big carp really love these things.
Most any angler, experienced or not, knows that worms are good fish bait. But the truth is, different worms are best for different types of fish. You have night crawlers, wigglers, stripers, and red-worms that all have their place and can be used for carp too. But I've found that the best worms for carp are green-worms. These worms can be found in the dark mud along the riverbank that looks like big cracked mud slabs. Trust me, you'll catch more carp with these than you will with any other type worms.
Carp fishing has always been a favorite activity around our town. Believe me, when you hook one of these big ones, you have a fight on your hands that you won't soon forget. They're strong fighters, and are one of the most fun to catch. There have been many 30 pounders caught around my area on the baits mentioned above. And finally we come to one more bait the carp just can't seem to resist.
The third bait is nothing more than canned corn from the supermarket. You just load a kernel at a time on the hook until it's covered. It can be a challenge to get one to stay on and cover the end of your hook, but it CAN be done. I can't tell you how many carp have been caught on corn. I can personally vouch for all three of these carp baits because I've used them since I was a small boy and had great success with them.
These are just some carp fishing bait secrets that I wanted to share so you can go out and have some of the fun that I've had over the years. It's just a really exciting way to spend a day and enjoy the sport of fishing, whether by yourself or with friends. We all hear about how nice it is just to be there, mostly from people who didn't catch anything. Trust me, it's much better when you haul a few in and get the thrill of landing a big one. Test these three baits out for yourself, and you'll see what I mean.
