Hornytoad 10 Posted January 22, 2010 Posted January 22, 2010 i have a small creek near my house and i catch alot of carp from it, but the only bait i ever use is canned corn, does anyone have any more suggestions Quote
Super User Marty Posted January 24, 2010 Super User Posted January 24, 2010 Like you, I only use corn and it's so convenient that I haven't really gotten interested in other baits. But there are a lot of baits. One that a lot of guys used when I fished for carp with a group was cereal. Something like Wheaties or Bran Flakes. They'd take a handful, immerse and squeeze out the extra water until it was the consistency they wanted. Some added flavor, such as powdered Jell-o. Lots of folks use doughballs. You'll get loads of hits if you search for carp baits or doughball recipes or something along those lines. Quote
rowyourboat Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 immerse shredded wheat in water, squeeze it. the mix in some peanut butter. Its works, but its messy..... imo, stay with corn lol Quote

fish-fighting-illini Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 We always used to use dough balls on trebel hooks or worms. I'll have to try the corn again as I haven't had much luck with it. Quote
Blade-Runner Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 Wheatie Balls. Or wheat bread doughballs. Or soft craws. Or quality prepared doughs. Like strawberry Van-A-Do. Quote
fishinfewl Posted January 31, 2010 Posted January 31, 2010 I also use canned corn but I hear people catch them w/ small crawlers. Quote
cook91c Posted January 31, 2010 Posted January 31, 2010 I use bread but i have always heard a compound bow works good ;D Quote
