smerchly Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 I have wondered how to catch carp in shallow weedy waters & this video was what I was looking for ......I thought the corn would not reach bottom and hang up in the weeds ....it seems the carp will find it ! I know a spot at the Bay of Q. where there is a large weed bed area ....very thick weed & about 4 to 6' of clear water . ....lots of big carp roaming & jumping in there . After watching this video I will need the same bait rig & 20 lb. braid & leader . For you carp guys , this info will help pull the carp from those weedy spots . A few highlights from the 22 min vid.......(some short adds) .... @ 2:15 ......a rig set up with a hair rig , loop , slip sinker & corn ( I have been using this rig) @ 7:20 ....using an open bail , rod& reel technique @ 16:00 tying the rig demo . They lost a few fish ....think the 10# leader was too light in the heavy weeds ....I'll try 20# line & leader ( mono or braid) . Another video came up ( " Asian Carp Processing Plant in Kentucky " ) . This plant is obviously a Chinese run plant which processes the carp & exports the meat to China . It looks like the carp are there to stay and it seems they taste good .....some bone structure difference, but looks tasty https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N46BuNCS7Uc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frog088 Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 Smerch I did not watch the video, but I can tell you this having seen it first hand......if you have a tiny opening in a huge weedbed, keep chumming that hole....the carp will tear out all kinds of weeds for you in effort to get to their food - you would be surprised at what a pod of hungry carp can do to aquatic vegetation, hence why they are hated by certain environmental groups (ie RBG).

Open water in no time The guys in the vid didn't show anything about chumming their spots , but I noticed several cans of G.G.corn in the boat . When I quietly went into the big weed bed at Quinte the carp were very active & jumping constantly . There were floating weeds ripped out by them and big swirls of mud all over the place . They may not be on the feed during this frenzied time , but I will give it a go next time I'm at the park . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
