It is also good to chum the area with corn on a regular basis, it will condition them to eating it. Leave your rod in secure holders with a baitrunner reel or extremely loose drag. When the carp take off with the bait, they will start peeling line at high speed. That's when you tighten up and set the hook. I usually fight them using moderate drag to avoid ripping the hook from their mouths.<BR/>On clear water like St Francis, stealth is the key, if you can back away far from the dock while waiting, even better, just make sure you can get to your rod on time otherwise it will be gone. Bells and bite alarms help too.Freshwater Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05214539605710658200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8638057204126621755.post-30119824624279855732008-07-04T10:15:00.000-07:002008-07-04T10:15:00.000-07:00Nice!

I can just imagine that big largemouth bending that 8foot fly-rod in half under the boat. <BR/><BR/>I saw a school of carp in front of my dock the other day just hanging out in our little bay. The water there is really shallow. There must have been easily 15-20 of them and they were all HUGE, like 20 pounds. I've never seen so many there before. I tried throwing everything I had at them but nothing could get them to hit. I've always wanted to try carp, what kind of bait do you use?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
