You need some good carp fishing bait if you want to land yourself a big one. Most people love the challenge of reeling in a big carp. They're known as good fighters and make for a really fun time. Since they're bottom feeders most people won't eat them. But if you cut the mud-line out, which is an orange streak down both sides of the meat, you can eat them as safely as you can eat catfish.
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.
One of the best 'big carp' baits are what we call 'dough balls'. You make these from the cereal 'Shredded Wheat'. What you do is take a shredded wheat biscuit and douse it underwater, then you begin to mold it into a round ball. You keep smashing it in your hand and it becomes a little sticky and stays in the shape you form it. You may have to dunk it twice to get it wet enough to be pliable. Then you bury your hook into the center of the dough ball. Carp really love this bait, and you'll have no trouble getting plenty of hits with these balls of shredded wheat.
There are some carp fishing bait secrets, at least we always considered them secrets, that can really up your game. Everybody knows that worms are good fish bait, but me and my friends also know that not all worms work the same way for all fish. You have red-worms, wigglers, stripers, and night crawlers, all of which are good bait. But for reeling in the big carp, nothing grabs them like green-worms. These are dug on the riverbank in the dark mud that looks like big cracked slabs. Carp just can't resist them.
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 that slays the big carp, is also used as a good bluegill bait. It can be found in any grocery store. It's simply a can of sweet corn. Yes, sweet corn is as good a bait for big carp as anything going. You just load up the hook, one kernel at a time until you've got it covered, and then cast it out and sit back and wait. Carp love corn, and you shouldn't have to wait long before you get a bite.
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.
