Carp Fishing Basics - A Small HowTo

It's such an dash to see the whole action in a whisker of a second as you hang on for dear life while the reel is shaking with a loud noise.

For carp fishing basics knowledge, the carp happily gulp on the surface as long as you keep the pellets, biscuits, chic peas, bread, and re-hydrated corn coming in, and these are inexpensive baits as well. Just stick them to the hooks, most preferably the bread. Have the biscuits softened by dipping it in the water for about 2 minutes, then, leave them in a sealed sandwich bag for nearly an hour. Since alternate brands have other textures, just experiment to scan which is firm enough to cast. Another way to hook baits is super gluing the pellet into the shank.

Once they get into feeding, let them feel comfortable round the bait. This gives more freedom for the fisherman since they begin to not feel delicate. This tactic can be useful for zig rigs.

As soon as they're feeding, cast the bait but make certain not to drop the bait directly onto the feeding carp. Cast away from the feeding area then slowly draw it in position. While the bait is till hanging, keep the food coming in so as to keep the carp from going away.

How to "Carp Fishing Basic" Set-Up'

1.-Use a hair rig to heighten your chance of catching. As carp taste food first, if they don't like the taste, they won't come near it.2.-You may also use a Spider Line, 50 lbs test, then use a leader material that fits the occasion.3.-Thread the bait on the baiting needle and hook the hair loop. You may also use foam dipped in a flavor as this enhances the attractiveness of the bait.4.-Also make a baiting needle by just straightening a long shank hook. Slide the bait on the shank, then slide the bait from the needle onto the hair.5.-Using a float is also an advantage because it adds weight for further distancing and the location is easily identified.6.-Don't leave out the controller float rig. A leader can be used which is attached to the swivel to its mainline of at least 3 feet length with a 10lbs Drennan double strength. A low diameter mono will do just as long as it floats well enough for visibility.

As experts say, it is not the bait that catches the carp but the method in which the bait is introduced. Pre-bait everyday, in one spot for a few days. This makes the carp think that there is a regular source of food for them and by "word of mouth" there'll soon be a school of fish around. Just be patient and it will all work.
