This is a common question usually asked by new Carp fishermen. What type of bait should I use? In my experience, any bait you can get to the bottom of your fishing hole will work; worms, minnows (usually dead), corn, and a variety of dough baits. Of these mentioned corn works the best followed by clean smelling dough baits.

Carp generally just suck around on the bottom of lakes and rivers so anything you can get down there has potential to work. They are much like catfish in that sense. Finding bait for carp is easy. If you don’t want to get your fingers messy, then go to your favourite grocer and buy a can of corn. Sweet corn seems to work the best for me.

You can even use plain white bread with a little water to make dough. I however, like to make my own dough bait by combining a ratio of 2:1 flour to cornmeal or Bisquick to cornmeal, mix with water or milk until a dough ball forms, cover and chill in your refrigerator until use.

If you really want to be adventurous, use milk and one egg, mix and set outside covered for a day or two ahead of time. The mixture will sour a bit and be more aromatic. Add more Bisquick or flour as needed until dough just stops sticking to your fingers.

That is all there is to it. Here is one final tip. Take additional flour or Bisquick with you fishing. As the dough ball warms up it may acquire condensation and become sticky. Just kneed a pinch in with the dough you will put on your hook and you will be fine.

Good luck and happy fishing!

well he may have not been hungry or you scared him away

i am fishing at a pond and got one bit and we where using worms. I just want to know what is is the best typ of bait to use

for catfish use the stinkiest old moldy cheese and or stale rotting meat of any kind seriously the worse it stinks the faster they find it. like liver left in the sun eight hours really works, mackeral chunked and sun dried (two things it stays on the hook better is sun cooked and man it stinks. Blood soaked anything you want. and lastly (when I was shown this trick I was amazed) my favorite and clean and not stinky but cut off kentucky fried chicken skin and use it in strips it stays on the hooks very well and it gets hit.

for carp: pop open a can of poppin fresh biscuits and roll a small portion into a ball and squeeze and shape and form the piece into a pyramid shape hiding a strong treble hook and cast into shallow flats where clean water (like a stream feeds into) is regularly found in a lake.

real answers only please…pls keep it clean.

for carp, if you are in Europe ot the UK, I would find a bait store and purchase boilies. There are many flavors and consistancies for seasonal variations and the like.

www.carpanglersgroup.com will have tackle dealers as well as a very active and lively bait forum, for commercial recipies and home made.
Carping in the UK is a different deal, as the waters are heavily fish for carp and they become wary and habituated to certain baits.
In the US and Canada, although carping is becoming much more popular, due to the sheer volume of water the carp tend to recieve less pressure.
Corn (canned sweet corn) is a deadly bait almost anywhere, as are oatmeal balls and doughbaits. All these are inexpensive and ubiquitous.
As for tips, be open to experimentation!!!!!!
carp are big hungry fish. However, they can be quite fickle.
To start, I would fish a small lake or river known to hold carp. Take a few cans of sweet corn and throw the corn out into the water, bait the area.
I would use a simple sliding rig with a sz 2 -4hook. bait a few kernals of corn onto your hook and toss it out in the area of your chum. It can take up to an hour for the carp to be called in to the meal, or it could take ten minutes. Be sure to attend your rod at all times, as a carp can easily swim off with your rod. If you don’t have a bait feeder type reel, just turn the drag all the way to loosen it up. Tighten the drag as you fight the fish.

There are small poulations of tench in the US. Not many, but some on the east coast.
I hear maggots and grubs are great baits for them, but have never fished for them
good luck.

i got interested in carp fishing bout a month ago and i would like to mix my own bait but i dont want the recipe to be hard.

Just use pillsbury plain old biscuit poppin fresh dough….. is that easy enough? it’s the right consistency, it floats, it holds its shape , it stays on the hook, it works and carp love it what else is there? Oh yeh, I forgot to mention it doesn’t have $30,000 to loan you, it doesn’t talk back and no it won’t whine about having to drive.

Canned corn on a hook or chunks of hot dog . We have even caught them on jig heads

if doe ball whats the ingredients

canned whole kernel corn is right up there near the top.
my favorite doughbait, or one of them anyway, is wheaties cereal crushed up and mixed with ripe banana. it smells good to the fish and stays on the hook real good.
these two should give you a good start.
cats will eat the wheaties bait also.
catFISH…not CATS…
although, l did have a pretty weird cat once but that’s another story.

works good in rivers too.
it’s an old commercial fisherman’s recipe.

not that the fisherman was old… the recipe was.

his dad and granddad used it. caught enough fish to raise families.

maybe they ate a lot of carp…

I recommend soybeanmill or other dog consitent food.

Go to a local bread outlet store (most have feed bread) keep them chumed with the bread as often as you can by crushing the bread into small ball sizedballs and keep them fed to create a feeding spot for them. I’ve found the carp will come on a regular basis to feed. I ususlly use canned corn chumed out in trhe same area chum some out and put some on a hook casted in the area and you’ll have al lot of fun.Have fun GOOD LUCK and KEEP FISHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
