Comment: Me and a few friends think we saw 2 carp in the 10 mile river in Attleboro not to long ago. I tried to catch one but no luck. One started to go after my lure but it quickly gave up.

Comment: Carp put up an insanely good fight at the ct river! ive caught 25 pounders! As for the taste, they are too boney and arent the best. But definetly one of my favorite catch and release fish!

Comment: Some people call carp "crap fish". They consider them a nusense. WRONG! Carp are one of the best fish to catch. Unlike bass and trout carp fishing tests your patience. But when you get one on the hook they are the best fighting fish around

Comment: Well im not a very avid Carp fisherman but the strangest thing happened. I was at a retention pond and i was fishing for bass with a joe's fly when bam a carp attacks it. I didnt think carp bite on lures.

Comment: Im fresh off the boat as far as carp baits go...
I used to use corn with maggot fished over crushed hempseed or groundbait for smaller carp..
And boilies,tinned ham or trout pellet for the 'bigguns'..Im new and very curious to the American carp techniques...

Comment: I tend to use a variety of baits, from soaked and boiled maize and maple peas as particle, to boilies and pack baits.

As has been stated and I tell people I instruct/show at the workshops and derbies..Carp fishing can be as simple or as complex as you wanna make it. Me, I like options so when an area is heavily fished with corn I can toss out something different and many times a small change will pull fish that others are missing.

Comment: carpman,i use basically the same rig as you,corn is great especially in july/august,otherwise crawlers can't really be beat,no need to get fancy,if you wannna go with doughbait then Wheaties works great.

Comment: the way i do it is with a sliding egg sinker, snap swivel and a leader 12-18 inches long. a nice size hook and whatever sinking bait you like.

Comment: a very easy way to catch carp is with a method feeder. They are around $3 www.bigcarptackle.com
simply rig as directed. load with some ground bait and use pretty much any thing on ther hook. Not the quickest way and doesnt catch the biggest fish, but is easy and works.
