I am 55 years old, and I learned to fish with bamboo rods and how to float the cork. The best lures are the ones that are homemade. I use a lot of corn and bait. Grated cheese, honey, vanilla, strawberry syrup, banana, cherry, anise. This is in the summer. In winter I use worms, maggots, fish kibble and anchovy oil. The boiles? I'll leave them to those who don't know how to fish. 😅 Because the real fisherman must also know how to make bait

[@lb2084]

I started carp fishing in 2001 when i was 18 . My rigs were very simple and mainly used natural or small baits . Now i have all the latest gear and baits but sometimes you can't beat using a float and a worm for bait 😂

[@yosipko5282]

I love my tost paste. Get sliced fresh tost bread. Pour water and liquid smell of your choice (i use scopex) in bucket. Soak toast bread 3-4 seconds in spiced water, and then put slices in another empty bucket. When every slice is soaked, mash them with fingers, and sprinkle it with few handfull of groundbait until you get paste (depending how much groundbait you put, its stiffer or looser). I use paste around wire spiral 25-45g freerunning feeders. Because of bread, liquid, and groundbait smell combined, fish really like it😁. Hookbait can be anything (worms, pinkies, corn, pellet...)

[@user-ie7hm7cw3b]

I was using pedigree chum mixers 40yrs ago, before it became popular. A friend and I were fishing a lake near Oulton park where there was a carp fishing match. I was having a fish a chuck. Nobody else was catching, but I emptied the place. Two guys fishing the match came over and I gave them some of my bait, and they caught. I have to admit, I stole the idea from a friend who was using cat buiscuits, I only had dogs, so thought I would try the dog biscuits. At the time the chum mixers were chum mixers with gravy. I soaked the mixers in warm water to make them spongy, so it stayed on the hook, but the hook pulled straight out on the strike. I was fishing 8 to 12 feet from the bank ( actually it was a wall, about 3-4 feet deep.) It was the best day carp fishing I’ve ever had.

As a US carper, bullhead catfish and bluegill are the bane of my existence. Definitely going to try some fake corn along with my strawberry jello/panko bread crumb/sweetcorn mix and see if that helps keep bait on my rig!

[@hellrazor2050]

Great video showing the different kinds of bait its a minefield out their . However would like to just run back to spam i use it a lot on my local waters and have great success with meat screws they hold the bait well had a lot less falling off since using them they come in metal or plastic/nylon . Middy also do a range of pre tied hook to nylon with meat screws . Though i prefer to tie my own using the plastic screw as the point on the metal variety is a bit sharp and in my opinion could damage a fish if digs in while playing it

[@stephenbuckham9964]

Very interesting videos thank you for sharing

Many years ago I used to use butter beans ,cheap and pretty effective at avoiding bream , short range only and did add molasses .to them .

[@markward8216]

Great vid once again

[@fishingtutorials]

Thanks mate :)

[@newsmonger77]

I agree that bread is the best bait. It's easily available everywhere, it's cheap as chips, I pay 75p for a large, thick sliced loaf. Best of all, carp and other fish all love it! It can be fished on the bottom or on the surface! I've even caught perch on bread. Best all round bait IMHO.

[@AlexP-hl4wn]

[@mitkopetrov2764]

Hi Carl, what is your opinion in mixing different flavours and brands in spod mix and different for hookbait. For example spod mix (nasbaits scopex squid, cell) and for hookbait sticky the krill?

[@omstan7928]

Carl what is you favourite pop up and and rig to use with it?

[@terryjacob8169]

I've had good results with lupin seeds, which I understand are popular with French carp anglers. I prepare them much like other particles, 48-hour soak, followed by 40 minutes in a pressure cooker. You can mount two or three on a hair rig, but I've found just a single seed, hair-rigged, works best for me, regularly catching me commons to 17lb. on my local water.

[@xrymq]

great video

[@fishingtutorials]

Cheers mate! :)

Great Video! I actually catch most of my carp with cheese. And sturgeon bite too (which is not really a challenge because sturgeon eat everything).

[@antnewbon2673]

[@fishingtutorials]

1st comment love you videos and they Definately help

[@fishingtutorials]

Glad to hear that :)

[@Cl0rdea]

i use enterprise and ESP fake corn beacuse they work like a pop-up and it sits a little bit up from the bottom and i like to use it with groundetd particles in pva bagc with some goo

[@Rose.Of.Hizaki]

Also worth noting. The use of tiger nuts are banned on many waters because people dont know how to prepare them correctly so just double check with where ever you are going before you do use them and learn how to prepare them properly. I think you had to boil them and leave them soaking in water for a long time to get them safe for the carp to eat.

[@fishingtutorials]

Very true :)

[@user-mr5jk8kg7w]

When I use luncheon meat I like to use a Parisien spoon or commonly known as a melon Baller. I’m a chef by trade and tried it one day and obviously it then presents itself just like boile And just rolls along the river bed thanks for all the advice that you give in you’re videos all the best

[@fishingtutorials]

Ah that's cool! You're welcome mate :) all the best

Hey carl good video are you coming to carp den bosh 2024?

[@jimjam8149]

Can you use sweetcorn all year round?

[@luke_angling]

If you cut your Spam into slices then fry it on two sides until it goes very light brown it puts a nice surface on it. Then you can cut it into chunks and it stays on your hook or hair for a long time

[@dadada1999]

Oh yes half for me half for the fish haha

[@leonardhpls6]

Or just buy bacon grill instead of spam and it stays on fine and is cheaper

[@goolambutler2994]

Hi. We use the powder bait and make balls. They snap of my line when I cast. Why does my line snap? Thanks.

[@JavierPadron]

We're do I go to order this stuff from America? I want boilies and that feed bait I can throw out..

[@connorscoarsefishingjourne7680]

In the match world majority of us use warburtons toastie loaf thick cause it’s more gluten so it’s stickier for the small hooks for the pole

[@fr0sty_nugz]

Are the fish with carl bags available to public or is it a one of the type thing ? Ide love one of those

[@fishingtutorials]

Sorry mate, they're not available. I got some made to test, but unfortunately the cost is still too high. Would love to if we're able to make it work cost-wise one day.

Carl what do you think is the best carp bait for big waters in the USA 😁

[@Sick_To_The_Teeth]

Not horse feed 😂

[@fishingtutorials]

I find big beds of maize and tiger nuts have been very effective for me. Boilies have seemed to draw in too many catfish!

[@GLNZFishing]

How about a video lure fishing for carp?

[@bitoffeverythingchannel99]

My best dip IV tried is port soaked cell Yep bit off port just missing the cheese lol

[@WobblieSkellie]

I believe using frozen shrimp from the grocery store as bait is illegal where I live, supposedly due to risk of imported farm raised shrimp introducing viruses that could harm crawfish and other local crustaceans.

[@paveljelinek1022]

From my experience: Corn - Cheap, colorful, but attractive to small fishes Rape - More expensive than corn, not much visible, very attractive and can be very smelly. Big carps love this. Its very soluble Boilies - Small boilies for fast catch, bigger boilies for big carps Pellets - Soluble, very attractive for fast takes pop up boilies - attractive, but some big fishes find it suspicious
