Effective Strategies For Carp Fishing

By Avendancher Guerrero Xavier


Carp fishing isn't easy, as these are fish that always put up a good fight. Still, the battle between the fisher and the carp is what attracts sports fishers. And when they land the carp, the thrill is amazing. It's always a good idea to keep adding to your carp fishing skills, and there are always new ones to learn. We'll have a look at some of them in this report.

Your choices of bait are many as carp like variety and will eat food that you wouldn't ordinarily use when fishing for other types of fish. Your bait costs will be minimal when you can grab a can of creamed corn from the cupboard and a loaf of bread, or a handful of rabbit food, as you head out the door. Try dough balls when carp fishing. This is one of their favorite foods. You must remember to be careful not to transfer the scents from your hands onto the bait when you handle it. Use the plastic gloves that food handlers use in restaurants or, at the very least, scrub your hands with a soap that doesn't have a scent. When the carp smell any human scents on their bait - such as tobacco or soap - they will not bite. Before you begin to actually fish, toss some of the bait you will be using into the water so they will come to your location and, more importantly, begin to trust your bait. Your chances of snagging a trout with your bait will be increased when you cast your line after you see that they are eating your "free sample."

Here's a tip you can use to your advantage. Carp are attracted to some smells; however, other odors can repel them so you have to be careful. Successful carp fishers swear by using creamed corn to get the attention of the carp. You might want to emulate this tactic also.

Of the many foods that carp will eat, one of their favorites is corn. They love the taste, and the scent of corn will bring them to you. (corn-fed carp?) The easiest thing to do is grab a can of creamed corn before you leave the house - and a can opener - and toss the punctured can into the water. When corn is in season, you can simply strip some fresh corn from the cob and toss that into the water also. Not only will this bring the carp around, other fish will be drawn to the scent of the corn also. Finding the corn in the water may give the carp a false sense of security so that when you actually start fishing, they will bite.
