a great bait for carp (trout too!)

[MoCarp]

Boil 1 gallon of water (well or creek) with 2 tablespoons kosher salt

Once boiling stir in a full jar of Jiffy brand peanut butter and 1 bottle of McCormick’s vanilla butternut cake flavoring

Turn off the heat and dump in 2, 1-pound bags of garbanzo beans (chick peas)

Stir and cover and set over night, great hook baits and chum!

Use on a hair rig

MoCarp- you're getting my curiosity up on carp. I'll have to try it this summer.

there are about 1000 recipes on corn alone--many " particles" are good for trout and carp--some just are not nutritious and get passed will little benefit to carp or trout, the Brits have spent a great deal of time looking at baits that are effective as well as nutritious to the carp to enhance growth-

as far as trying carp, my best big fish spot is less than 15 minutes from you & the fish avg. about 15# 32"-38" long

Carp fishing is a blast when the rip off 30 yard runs several times, even on heavy gear! I will give you a heads up sometime when we are at the "spot" and show you some 1st class string stretching!

We fished there almost every weekend last summer from about the end of July till October

Usually a friend and I caught 25-30 fish between us and about 4 fish would be in the 20 pound class

even had a fish we have recaptured a few times with a split lip we named "Stacy" after the actor Stacy Keech (sp?) for obvious reasons (naming a fish is a true Brit tradition!) usally the fish is a bit bigger each time...

How are you fishing the dough bait??? On a bait heavey bait casting rod? It would be great to catch carp on the flyrod, but slingling dough seems tough.

[MoCarp]

I fish dough on a small spring that is hair rigged

for springs on carp I use a football shaped one that I pull off a small #6 treble get them at bass pro--for trout I use anout 1/2 a ball point pen spring

I will see if I can post pics

[MoCarp]

here is a few pics--and how to tie a hair rig

as a side note here is a special corn that smokes regular corn

it even comes in a trout pellet flavor

If you don't mind MoCarp, I would like to see your methods also when you visit the "Spot".

[MoCarp]

sure will give you a heads up as it will be soon head to the "spot"-- have room for several----just wish we had more water

kickin bass I typically use a pair of 12 foot euro carp rod that are ringed for casting gear, 3 1/2 test curve with a pair of 6500 c3 abu garcia casting reels--usally 20 pound test green big game but when I need longer- 125 yard plus casts I drop to 15

I allso use 9 foot micro lite bass pro rods with a size 20 I think okuma bait runners for trout and carp when I am feeling brave--I am looking to ad a fly rod just for carp yet to get one yet--as I am torn beetween that and a centerpin outfit

but I want to catch some carp on a fly this year, can't imagin the rush as that first run is a killer
