Category Archives: Carp Fishing Basics
There has been a giant fish wading arounf my pond for a while. I rarely see him. Today I finanly saw that he is a carp. He is at least 20lbs, and 36 inches long. I don’t know much about catching carp so if anyone can give me some good tips on maybe how to catch this guy (altho I almost don’t want too, it’s like he’s so big you worship him rather than dare to catch him lol). What type of pole would I need? What lb test line would I need? What type of bait/lures do they usually go for? Any info you can give me is great Thanks

Homemade Carp Groundbait + Carp Fishing Question?
Tom asked:
Hi, I am fishing for carp using a method feeder. In the feeder I usually put my pellets with some groundbait to hold them in. Then I squeeze as many maggots as I can onto my hook (size 16 I think). I have caught quite a few carp (each 1-2lbs) by doing this but I would like to know how to make my own groundbait that will attract the bigger carp (5/6 lbs or more). I would need this to be quite simple but effective. Also is there any other way that I can catch bigger carp?
Thanks Tom 🙂
