arkangel06 Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 Ark. Just about every sweet fruit flavour has been tried in boilies. Pineapple seems to be the most popular right now. Mango and pomagranit? Pineapple eh I never would have figured Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steeler Posted September 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 The World Carp Classic is taking place right now, in France. Carp anglers from all over the world, came to fish this. there's 2 teams from the states, and there's even a team all the way from japan. Its a 5 day tournament, so far theres been i think, 4 or 5 40lb+ carp caught, real nice pristine looking fish. anyway, if you wanna check it out go to http://www.worldcarpclassic.com/ Maybe in the coming years there will be a Canadian team over there P.S. check out the prizes, jesus.....

smerchly Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Without using a net , I have a hard time getting a hold of carp to remove the hook . They are so strong and they close the gill plate so tightly , you need both hands to keep that fish still ! It's a two man job ! I try to keep them in the water at the edge but some spots aren't that great to bring them ashore. Keep on carping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steeler Posted September 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 LOL. I wont go into the big rant, but topdog1 carp are fun. They are big, hard hard fighters, and plentiful. I dont think they are that ugly, and you can eat them, but i dont advise it, because in most places they are too big to eat, and besides, catch and release. They are alot of fun, cant stress that enough, if you have any questions, feel free to pm me, and id be glad to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corn pops work well. Use a wide gap hook in size 1/0. Put a split shot on the line about 1/2 inch from the eye of the hook. Use an egg sinker about 4 or 5 inches up the line from the hook. Chum the spot you are going to fish with some corn. As far as carp being ugly . Your supposed to catch em and put them back. Not take them home to meet your mom.

Luvevolution Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 still yet to catch a carp. makes me think I'm doing something wrong. the boilies I made are still yet to work, but I remain faithful and hopeful at the same time. LOL. maybe I should hold onto the bait and cast the rod out instead..........might have more luck that way. LMAO. either that, or wonder if fishing with dynamite is legal in these parts. hahahahaha.

steeler Posted September 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Drop the boilies go buy a can of corn! Nah, use the corn for chum. Fish the boilies. Just keep trying flavors, some will be hot at times, and others wont. Although, sometimes the sweetcorn will come through, but boilies have been good to me Or if you choose corn, go grab some monster maize (http://newworldcarp.com/osc/baits-monster-maize-giant-carp-corn-c-55_61.html) that doo-doo is the tits!!

dunder Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Drop the boilies go buy a can of corn! Ark/ I think canned corn is the best carp bait hands down. However, it isn't productive using it in waters that have high numbers of small fish or Gobi's. They will snarf or tear the soft corn apart before the carp can get to it. That is part of the reason boilies were created. Cheers, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL. we've also had success in other spots with it too. we were down at Rennie park the other week and there were two HUGE carp swimming by the dock. turns out Jacob chummed with corn and I chummed with boilies and corn too. couldn't hook into them though. I will keep trying with boilies though, cause I wanna catch something with something I made myself. I bought cinnamon to make boilies, but not sure how to go about making them with it. I have cornmeal, soy flour, semolina, eggs, syrup, packages of sweetener, colour and of course, cinnamon. anyone got a basic recipe I can try using these basic ingredients? or should I be adding something else? any advice would be appreciated. PM me if you have a recipe that you don't wanna share publicly. LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
