Carp, a beginner’s guide

[MoCarp]

soak them in a 5 gal bucket of water,

fill 1/2 with whole oats from the feed store,

1 packet of yeast,

1 cup sugar,

fill with WELL WATER

some of the oats will float, I just ad a coffie can of whole feed corn to the top to weight the whole lot down.--soak at least 3 days

put a lid on loose and set in a cool dark place "garage"

a 50 pound sack makes about 4 buckets, just about right for an avg lake point in the ozarks, use a boat a pour 2 of the buckets on a secondary point 1 bucket on the 1st break, the second on the next deeper one, also at the point I also pour 1/2 bag of 20% range cubes

2 days later chum the other 2 buckets and the other 1/2 bag of cubes on the 1st brake only

fish 24 hours later, fish with crawlers for cats, corn hair rigged for carp

Is that you Terry? Did you change your user name?

I don't think I am having a "duh" moment here. I assumed that he was talking about soakingit in something that would absorb into the oats to attrack the fish.

No this isn't Terry.

LMW, I'm sorry, I knew what you meant, but couldn't resist the big softball.

You ruined it. How am I suppose to be all offended if you go and apologize.

Wait, I checked my original post. I forgot the smiley faces. It looks right now

"fish with crawlers for cats, corn hair rigged for carp"

What does corn hair rigged for carp mean. I always use doughballs for carp.

[MoCarp]

below is a link to carp angling resourses--rigs baits LOTS of info by the best carp anglers in North America

the hair rig/bolt rig will out catch the standard doughball/treble rig 25-1 and will get the bigger fish--go to the link below and look up hair rig and bold rig

then try it sometime, those taps turn into fish with a hair rig

look out though, that 1st run from a twenty and you will be hooked ito this whole euro carp thing like me

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

gads man I can't get enough of those smokin runs!!!!!

Thanks MoCarp. I went to the link and read several of the articles. Are there sites in the US to get some of the terminal tackle? All of my searches turned up UK sites
