Learn More On Carp Fishing For Beginners

By Louise Nash


This carp fishing for beginners guide is designed to offer some simple tips and tricks for an aspiring fisherman. Many people might consider carp to be just a giant, less attractive goldfish, but in truth, these fish can be more than a challenge for a new fisherman, and an experienced one who might be used to a different game.

Every fisherman knows that the true secret to any successful fishing venture is the bait. Most fishermen prefer to make their own for these fish, as they do not require expensive ingredients. In fact, these fish will happily eat bread and corn, so many fishermen simply mix up some bread, corn, and flavoring into a consistency that will stick to the hook.

However, it is important to note that these fish are very picky and suspicious eaters who will always taste first before they really take a bite. For this reason, it is very important to avoid transferring any unwanted scents or tastes to the bait. Some fishermen might use glues to get the bait to stick better but the fish rarely like the taste of that. Also, it is recommended to wear gloves while handling and preparing bait, as carp are known to reject bait with human scent on it. This is especially crucial for smokers, since all fish hate the smell of nicotine.

A simple trick to use is to throw some bait without a hook into the water to get the fish used to the taste of your bait. Once they eat some of the free floating bait, they will be highly likely to bite. Some fishermen will even show up at the fishing spot for a few days in a row and feed the fish regularly. The fish will get used to it and show up at the same time every day.

Dropping in a hook with bait on it will scatter and frighten fish, so the proper way of doing it is to cast into the distance beyond the area where the fish are feeding, and then slowly and carefully reel the hook closer.

If you just throw the bait in, the fish will scatter, so a proper technique is key, which means casting the line far behind the fish and then slowly drawing it in.

This carp fishing for beginners guide has listed a few very simple but useful facts for any fisherman considering taking on this fish. There is no teacher like experience, though, and the best way to get better at carp fishing is to go fish.
