I live on a small inner city lake. Moved here to have my own fishing spot. First couple of months, fishing was rough. Once I discovered carp in the lake and researched some popular carp fishing techniques....the rest is history! I was hooked! Glad the trip wasn't a total loss for ya!

[@OutsidewithTom]

Nice!

[@57tubeviewer]

Tom, hooray for perseverance and innovation. I'll take this opportunity to step on your thread and comment that I was so pleased with the almond tiger nuts you sent that I am now processing my own Chufa seeds--as you illustrated. After flailing around looking for the secret answers, my choice of hook baits is simplified; almond tiger nuts or spicy tiger nuts. Both are working. Possible personal best yesterday, judged by sight, on the spicy nuts. It rivaled others caught on almonds. I don't weigh them; don't really care. Thanks for all of the tutorials Tom; they have simplified things greatly; and I try to follow your methods closely. My 89th birthday next week and I recently found, after 12 years of passing it by, that a small residential lake 1.6 miles from home has gracious residents, carp, and shade trees. Ignore the no trespassing signs that the HOA posted, they say. Tell me I am not blessed.

[@OutsidewithTom]

Great to hear you're having some good results. Congrats on the new PB and happy birthday too! Thanks Bob.

[@firedaddycarp13]

Enjoy your videos Tom!

[@tobielombard8310]

We use a lot of corn as hookbait for Carp in South Africa.We flavour them all different kinds of flavour. Our pack baits consist of either a popcorn base pack bait or we cook corn and put them through a grinder to make pack bait. Some of those corn pips we then use as hook bait in either a hair rig or just hook it on the hook. We also use a bait we call a "floatie" . Its made from wheat flour and we also flavour them.

[@JwG3359]

Another fishing adventure story!! That 'one fish' paid out. Nice job!! I hope the tacos turned out as well. 🌮 Always look forward to the weekly post. Thanks Tom, for reel fishing.

[@OutsidewithTom]

Glad you enjoyed the video, thanks again James.

[@anthonylgarcia2594]

I wanted to thank you for this video. I have been planning a fishing trip for a while. This was very useful. Thank you.

[@OutsidewithTom]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Anthonybestson]

I really enjoy your videos Tom. I went fishing today and caught a really nice catfish. Do you have another channel also or just this one. That sucks with the weeds man. I feel your pain. Glad it worked out. I’m gonna try your tiger nuts from your store.

[@brettsfishingdiaries]

What a result after a disappointing trip Tom, persistence paid off big time, well done bud!

[@OutsidewithTom]

Thanks Brett!

[@garrisonh]

well you salvaged that trip a little. Nice catches.

[@OutsidewithTom]

Thanks 👍

[@tobielombard8310]

We also knead bread and use it as a hook bait and dip it in flavour. Usually brown bread and the yellow of an egg kneeded well. Can also flavour with curry powder.

[@OutsidewithTom]

Interesting!

[@macboxfishing5]

I really enjoy your videos and the way you fish, but I have to disagree with you saying corn is a terrible hook bait. In my experience, corn is the number one hook bait for carp. But that is just my opinion. Lol. Keep up the good work. 👍

[@OutsidewithTom]

Yes, carp love corn, but so does every other creature in the water. It gets ripped off the hair and stolen easily, and that is why I regard canned corn as a terrible hook bait. Thanks for watching.

[@macboxfishing5]

I can agree with that. 😁👍

[@JasonSSG]

A garage thats as big as the house. My kinda place.

[@lancemacugayhawaiianfisherman]

I've used potato as hook bait for carp I use the canned potatoes and boil them for 7 minutes works great got the idea from another you tube channel TA Fishing.

[@OutsidewithTom]

Right on, thanks Lance.

[@lancemacugayhawaiianfisherman]

@@OutsidewithTom welcome my friend

[@muskyman26]

I must have nothing but stupid carp in mn I’ve got all the carp gear and nothing beats canned corn loaded on a hook I hate it haha. I wanna play with the fun stuff

[@Familyman0838]

Bacon grill luncheon meat is great for carp in warm water corn bread paste maple peas but maize and tiger nuts will catch all carp chum a big area and fish the edges

[@thomaskass6668]

Way to battle through a tough situation tom. Nice bunch of carp you put on the bank. I probably never would have tried the sweet potato. Good call on that hook bait.

[@richardwarfield7386]

So that's where my old boyhood minnow trap got to

[@Familyman0838]

For a large expanse of water like that doing only day sesions thats a great result.carp love weed its full of natural food and offers them cover we use pva bags to tackle weed fishing here in the uk 🇬🇧 theirs lots of videos to help you out great video buddy

[@travis5134]

Your trips go about like mine do. 😅 Looks like it still turned out decent towards the end though.

[@OutsidewithTom]

Haha, thanks for watching!

[@gordygroover]

Steelhead fishing this week on the Columbia river was about the same. Slimy grass was being pushed downriver which would encase our plugs in minutes. It turned into a "why even bother?" Situation.

[@OutsidewithTom]

Dang it!

[@spiralhead]

Hi Tom, thanks for sharing your trip. Did you boil those sweet potatoes first? Sorry if I missed it.

[@OutsidewithTom]

It was raw, just cubed up.

[@terrydees5998]

Don't show this episode to the carp in my neck of the woods because they like corn. I've caught a bunch on it. I how ever liked it. Thanks

[@OutsidewithTom]

Yes, carp love corn, but so does every other creature in the water. It gets ripped off the hair and stolen easily, and that is why I regard canned corn as a terrible hook bait. Thanks for watching.

[@patoh4689]

Nice vid! You could definitely feel the bummed out vibe in the beginning, but you hung in there . Glad your able to take away something positive after all - Not sure how id feel paying 1200 for a waste of lakefront property though seems a bit shady to me. The property owner should disclose that before hand - IMO.

[@OutsidewithTom]

Agreed. There were some other things about the place that were a bit shady as well that contributed to us leaving early. I left a review noting such details so the next person can know what they're getting into. Thanks for watching.

[@allenkeough2629]

Maybe if nothing else you found a new hook bait what do you think of the sweet potatoes do you think they would replace your tiger nuts or will you use the sweet potatoes again? That sucks the trip didn't turn out like you expected. Love all the video's.

[@OutsidewithTom]

Sweet potato worked in a pinch, not as durable as tiger nuts.

[@allenkeough2629]

​@@OutsidewithTomyou reeled in 6 or 7 carp and you lost one I would say that's pretty durable I would say that's a pretty good session do the fish take off the sweet potato every time you catch them is that why you say it's not as durable?

[@OutsidewithTom]

@@allenkeough2629 Yep

[@Fisher95rc]

Hey man, can I ask where you get the sweet feed you use?

[@OutsidewithTom]

Local farm store.

[@davidgarcia9808]

Well Tom I would say the last 4 or 5 hours of your trip made a bad trip into a pretty good one. And I also know being that I have a lovely wife and not so lovely X-wife it made that 5 hour drive home a lot happier one. On another note just got my tiger nuts from you and come to find out I could of use the wife's sweet potato 🤣😂😆

[@OutsidewithTom]

Haha, thanks David!

[@1100blake]

Do you get your oats at the grocery store? Ive been looking into buying feed oats seems like a cheaper option but cant find steam rolled oats as thats what everyone suggests

[@OutsidewithTom]

Link is in the description.

[@1100blake]

​@OutsidewithTom Thanks brother. Started using tiger nuts soaking in Tabasco and lemon juice recently and they work great in spots with lots of turtles.

[@troutheadadventures6521]

I think I would have tried Spam. I've seen the guys in Europe do that.

[@OutsidewithTom]

I've tried spam in the past, it's a bit softer than I would like and the catfish love it.
