Oh now to answer your question. Do carp eat minnows?
YES. Carp will eat pretty much any food source available to them with the exception of [#008000]Grass Carp[/#008000], they eat vegitation and are very useful in small ponds under 1 acre at controlling the amount of vegitation growing there.
But anglers that target carp specifically have had much better luck catching only carp on various homemade baits. Reason? Because if you use minnows or other natural live or dead baits you're going to catch all the other fish in that body of water competing for the food.
With Minnows this includes (but not limited to) Bass, Crappie, Catfish, Buffalo, Sucker fish, etc etc. Any fish in the body of water you are fishing most likely will eat minnows.
