Catching Carp

umming for Carp

umming for carp is one of the most effective ways to

consistently catch carp. Chumming is not legal in all

states, so make sure to check your state's regulations

before you decide to use this technique. Chumming

means to throw food into the water to attract fish to your

area. You can chum for carp with a variety of baits such

. Corn is by far

he most popular type of chum bait for carp in North America. When chumming for carp, you want to make sure to throw enough corn out to keep

them in your area, but not too much to overfeed them. Three or four handfuls every hour will usually be plenty. Some anglers get in a routine of

chumming specific areas on specific lakes, rivers and ponds. If you consistently chum in the same spots, carp will begin hanging out in those

areas. When you get carp accustomed to feeding in a specific area, you can get away with chumming less

on days that you are

fishing. One or two

handfuls per hour should be plenty and this will give you a better chance of having a carp pick up your bait instead of the chum.
