carp - bassmasta - 08-03-2008 does anybody know a good carp bait and/or rig(for fishing in a small lake)?[fishin] [signature] Re: [bassmasta] carp - Fishhound - 08-03-2008 [#008000]Some good baits/riggins to start out with are: [/#008000] [#008000] [/#008000] [#008000]1. A worm fished on the bottom with just a slpit shot or under a bobber.[/#008000] [#008000]2. A piece of plain white bread on a hook, either on bottom or under a bobber.[/#008000] [#008000]3. A piece of canned or fresh corn on a hook, again on the bottom or under a bobber. [/#008000] [#008000] [/#008000] [#008000]You can make it more complicated by making your own dough baits, but that would probably be something to try after you are into Carp fishing for a while or you find that the fish are more pressured by a lot of anglers.[/#008000] [#008000] [/#008000] [#008000]P.S. [/#008000] [#008000]I noticed you are from Texas. I also looked at your profile picture, that photo does not look like it was taken in Texas - It looks kind of like the Intermountain west. Where was that photo taken ? [/#008000] [#008000] [/#008000] [#008000] [/#008000] [signature] Re: [Fishhound] carp - bassmasta - 08-03-2008 Ok, thanks a lot. I'll try that next time i go 2 the lake. Oh, and that picture was taken on a trip to Estes Park, Colorado(family vacation). [signature] Re: [bassmasta] carp - tubeN2 - 08-04-2008 One thing to remember about Carp. They always have a sweet tooth. (even though they are toothless) The sweeter the bait, the better the chance at getting their attention.[cool] [signature] Re: [tubeN2] carp - idahocarpin - 06-01-2011 TubeN2 you are correct on that carp have a sweet tooth but yes in fact they do have teeth. Carps teeth are called pharyngeal teeth they are in their throat and used for crushing things like nuts muscles craw fish etc.[cool] [signature] Re: [idahocarpin] carp - Paulpro - 06-10-2011 cool,I 've never cut one open, before courios of what was in there..Teeth,.As long as they don't chew through by 4lb,fireline..woo hooo ![]() [signature] |
