Carp bait

[fishguru73]

Kochanut is right about using grain because carp feed on a lot of vegetable matter. Bread dough is a really good and it stays on the hook fairly well. Corn works great but you can't use it in UT so I have a special recipe. Mix wheaties, oatmeal, and cooked whole barley, and then bind them together with molasses and strawberry pop. Use a small ball of this on a no. 6 hook. I learned this from a Brit who was a tournament fisherman for carp. Yes the Europeans love carp. That's why they brought them here. He was firing balls of it onto a flat with a slingshot and then casting to it and he was slaying them. I decided to try it on a river in the summer when it was running low and the action was ridiculous.
