Carp Fishing Guidelines

By: Owen Jones

As maddening as it might be, carp fishing is tremendous. Carp are exceedingly skillful at sucking in and blowing out suspicious baits. It’s such an exciting moment to see the whole action in a fraction of a second as you wait with baited breath to see if the fish will swallow the bait

Carp happily feed on the surface of the water so long as you keep the pellets, biscuits, chic peas, bread, and re-hydrated corn coming and these are low-cost baits as well. Just fix the bait to the hooks: I think bread works the best. First soften the biscuits by dipping them in the water for about 2 minutes, then, put them in a sealed, plastic sandwich bag for about an hour. Given that different brands have dissimilar textures, you will just have to experiment to find out which kind is firm enough to cast. An additional method to hook bait is by super gluing the pellet onto the shank of the hook.

Once they start feeding, let them feel happy around the bait. This gives more opportunity for the fisherman since they will become less choosey. This tactic can be especially practical for zig rigs.

As soon as they’re feeding, cast the bait but make sure not to drop the bait directly into the feeding carp. Cast away from the feeding area then slowly draw the bait into place. While the bait is still hanging, keep the ground bait coming in so as to keep the carp from leaving.

How to Set-Up Your Rig?

• Use a hair rig to increase your chance of catching fish. As carp taste their food first, they won't feed if they don’t like the taste.
• You could also use a Spider Line, 50 lbs breaking strain, then use a leader that suits the circumstances.
• Thread the bait on the baiting needle and hook the hair loop. You could also use foam rubber dipped in a flavor in order to improve the appeal of the bait.
• You could also make a baiting needle by just straightening a long shank hook. Then slide the bait on the shank, and then slip the bait from the needle onto the hair.
• Using a float is also an help because it adds weight in order to be able to cast farther, you will also be able to see where the bait is.
• Don’t forget the controller float rig. A leader can be affixed to the swivel on the mainline. It ought to be at least 3 feet in length with a 10lbs Drennan double strength. A low diameter mono will do, just so long as it floats well enough to be seen.

As experts say, it is not the bait that catches carp but the way in which the bait is introduced. Pre-bait everyday, in one spot for a few days. This encourages the carp to think that there is a regular supply of food for them and by “word of mouth” there’ll soon be a shoal of fish around. Just be patient and it will all work out just fine.
