I don't know how, and have never heard of people who jigged for Carp either. It sounds like fun though. I caught some big Carp when I was in the Army stationed at Edgewood Arsenal, Maryland. We fished the Gunpowder and Bush rivers on each side of Edgewood Arsenal (a peninsula) that emptied into the Chesapeake Bay, and we caught some big Carp on earthworms. We would go out to the golf course after dark and pick up the big earthworms by the coffee can full, and catch catfish and an occasional carp in the brackish water. The Army had flat bottom boats that could be checked out from the NCO club, and some of those catfish would pull the boat around and around before they were landed. They were a speckled Channel Cat. We would catch Maryland blue crabs, also, and boy how I miss eating those !! I wish I could catch some of those blue crabs here in East Texas. Gourmet !!!!
