Carp Fishing Bait

Are you a Carp Fisherman and want to create your own bait? If you fish for carp, then you fish for the most common species of fish in the world. The species is not native to Europe, North America or Australia as it originated in Asia and found its way around the world by migration or by introduction by man. In many countries, they are considered to be vermin and if caught should be killed and in other counties, they are part of the counties diet. In The Complete Angler, Walton said "The Carp is the queen of rivers; a stately, a good, and a very subtle fish; that was not at first bred, nor hath been long in England, but is now naturalized." In fact carp was spread through Europe first by the Romans and then by monks who kept them to eat on NO Meat Fridays. The carp has been successful in spreading to new territories due to its ability to tolerate a wide range of conditions: freshwater or the brackish waters of some estuaries, temperature of 35 to 85 F (1.6 to 29.4 C), still or fast flowing water and the ability to rout around the river bottom for many types of food.Carp seem to try anything that is put in the water with them as long as it has a flavor so that they sense it. They do learn from their mistakes so if they are caught on one flavor, they may ignore another bait of that flavor when it is presented to them again. Creating your own bait can save you money. To succeed in catching carp, you must present them with highly flavored bait and as an angler you can make your own bait in small quantities and try out different flavors to see which one works. Look in your kitchen cupboards and see what you can try - you may find a flavor that really gets the fish feeding.
Remember that in the winter, the fish may not be able to see as well as in the summer and oil based flavors do not leak into the water so easily, so adapt your bait flavor accordingly. Making your own bait can be cheaper than buying some at the fishing store (shop). You have the advantage of experimentation so you can find the flavor combination that attracts the big fish and the satisfaction of getting you next PB on a flavor no one else is using. Give it a go.
