Catching Carp

Catching carp is very easy and also exciting if you like fighting a fish
that takes long runs.  Once you know where the fish are, you can try
using a variety of baits to catch them.  Anglers will use corn,
dough bait,
worms,
stinkbait, and many other baits made just for carp.  You can
catch carp on all of these baits, but corn outfishes other baits a majority
of the time.  

Corn mixed with a little vanilla extract will do the trick every time.  Take a
can of corn and pour it into a zip lock bag.  Pour a few drops of vanilla
extract in the bag, zip the bag up and shake it up.  The vanilla draws the
carp to the bait and gets them to hang onto it longer without blowing it
out.

Most carp will take your bait and move with it right away.  If you lay your
fishing rods down on the ground and tighten the line, they will kind of set
the hook on themselves and all you have to do is lift up when they pull
your rod.  Be careful though....If you leave your rods down flat on the
ground and your line is tight, any carp over 3 pounds can easily pull
your rod into the water.  You will definitely get more hookups by leaving
the rods down and the line tight, but you need to pay attention.  The
bites will happen very quickly.
