A Glimpse At The Very Best Carp Sport Fishing Methods

By Horace Palmdale Xavier


As you probably know, if you have done any carp fishing, carp fishing can be great sport but, on the other hand, it can drive you nuts. You have to have very precise techniques when fishing for carp because they can be hard to catch. Be very specific about your equipment and make sure it's exactly what you need and ask around for the best spots for successful carp fishing. OK, if you want to have better results on your next outing, pay attention to the proven tips in the rest of this report.

Pay special attention to your hook it can determine your success or failure when carp fishing. For one thing - and this goes for any type of fishing - be sure that your hooks are sharp.

Check your hooks often, because if they are not sharp they won't catch any fish. The consensus among carp fishers today is to use barbless hooks; however, there are both barbed and barbless and you can use either one. Actually, you will find that some regions only allow you to use barbless hooks. Barbless hooks are much kinder to use on carp especially when you plan - as many carp fishers do - to release the carp back into the water. You may have a better chance of keeping your carp on your hook if the hook is barbed, but experienced fishers have remarked that carp are more leery of biting a hook that is barbed. One of the characteristic of carp that you can use to your advantage is their keen sense of smell. Don't sit there preparing your bait with a cigarette dangling out of your mouth. Your hands will be drenched in the tobacco odor and so will your bait. This scent is a red flag to carp to avoid your bait. Personal products that have a strong scent are also taboo when handling your bait. These can include hand creams, suntan creams, and similar products. You stand a better chance of not contaminating your bait with off-putting odors - and increasing your catch - if you pick up a packet of plastic gloves like food servers wear and use them when you prepare your bait.

A lot of carp fishers dream big. Their goal is to land a carp at fifty pounds or more. You'll be facing an invigorating challenge once you hook into a fifty pound or larger carp. However, doing so will take some patience and skill as they're not that easy to entice onto your hook. You won't be able to land a large carp if you don't take the time to find the waterways where they live. This is usually an area that's not very populated and isn't over-fished. This body of water must also have small fish available for the carp to eat. To increase your chances of landing a good-sized carp - which can be a real duel - you need to pay particular attention to your equipment, tactics, and bait. A fifty pound or larger carp will not stay hooked if your fishing pole is one of those lightweight ones. The worldly wise larger carp are very suspicious of "suspect" bait so make sure the bait you use isn't to different from the normal things the carp feed on. If they see something odd floating around their area, there is a good chance they will know you are there.

If you fish for carp, you probably dream of catching a big one, preferably of 50 pounds or more. It can be a real battle landing one of the big carp. If the fifty pounders are what you are after, get ready for a lot of work when you hook one. You won't be able to land a large carp if you don't take the time to find the waterways where they live. A area off the beaten path that doesn't have many residents - and waterways that haven't been over-fished - is your best places to find the bigger carp. In order for the carp to attain their large weight, the waters in which they live should also abound in small fish that they can eat. Your fishing gear has to be strong enough for a heavy carp so this is your next area of concern. You aren't going to be able to reel in a fifty pound carp with a lightweight rod. Unlike fly fishing, where you use brilliant lures to attract the fish, carp get suspicious of anything flashy in the water. If your bait doesn't fit in with what the carp expect to be there, they will suspect your presence. Fishing techniques for each type of fish vary, so don't try to use your walleye fishing tactics on carp. They probably won't work. You need to pay attention to the guidelines we've given you here and, also very important, become familiar with the location and body of water that you want to fish in. Catching carp is a skill you'll develop over time, so don't get discouraged if your initial efforts are less than spectacular.

Should you really want to take pleasure in sport fishing, then you've got to receive the best equipment feasible. This involves cash, and sometimes getting a personal loan is the best way. Seek advice from your own lender for more data.
