Thread: Zach needs a simple carp bait

I'v heard of just using bread balls, but I'm not sure. I guess you just roll it in your hands and bait up. Good luck!

Peanut butter
Bread
Flour
Water

Optional:
Garlic
bacon grease or other "meat juice" type deal
Vanilla
Strawberry flavor/jelly/jello mix
corn


Mix together and make nice thick doughballs.

Works great on carp and catfish, and great fun for kids to mix up. Works best with treble hooks made for doughballs.

ive just caught them with bread but the recipe above me sounds pretty good. i only fish for them when i see them feeding on vegetation near the shore and bread works great for sight fishing (i wish a had a bigger fly rod). the recipe above will help them find it though.

Hey Mikefish. Depending On Where Your Fishing , If Dough Is Not The Ticket, Regular Yellow Corn Out Of The Can Works Sometimes. Just Load A #2 Hook Up With It And Wait.

I have had success with this. Sometimes we get caught up with the "Latest & Greatest" and forget the baits we used as kids. They still work effectivly.

I have heard that cherrrios work but I dont know that for a fact. I have no ides how to use it though.

Best Recipe:
Dough
Garlic
Some Type of Smelly Cheese(Really Any Type)

Also Another:
Dough
Strawberry Flavoring

Put both on a fairly good sized treble hook

Appreciate the replys guys. The only carp we have ever caught was in the cast net at Jordan several weeks ago.
