Sight Fishing For Carp With Bread - How To Catch Carp The Easy Way

Want to know how to catch carp the easy way? Try sight fishing for carp with bread. All you need is a hook, and some bread. When you are at the water and notice some carp swimming around, just plop a bread ball in the water and wait. Thats all there is to it. Since I was fishing next to some trees in the water, I used braided line to power the fish out of that cover. If you want to catch a powerful fish, try sight fishing for carp with bread. This is how to catch them the easy way.

[@sexyboyonzecouch]

Awesome video bro.

[@toaster3807]

Realistic Fishing great video. Some folks hate on cats and carp but I find that they are some of the most fun to catch. Might I plug cats and carp KZbin channel 😂 Oh I was going to ask cuz I see you always shore fishing, have you considered getting a small boat. I have a 15 ft duo boat I got for 800 bucks. Had it for 3 years and haven’t had to spend a dime exempt on gas and registration. I’m sure you could find a nice cheap boat.

@@lorenaramirez-hm3pt Don't get me wrong, I am envious of all kayaks and boats, but I still catch more bass than most of the people here in Austin TX just by knowing which presentation to use, where to cast and how to retrieve my lure.

go for one on an old spinning reel with the drag down a click, its so much fun to fight carp for the line, our common carps are pretty hefty out here and they give a fight that doesnt compare to any other

I used to fish for carp all the time back in the 80's and 90's. Always used an 11- 1/2 foot steelhead noodle rod with spinning reel and 6 pound test monofilament. Small wide gap hooks (Eagle Claw Style 42) and cans of corn for bait. We had a ball! We used to catch lots of fish over 20 lbs.!

[@joescarpadventures]

Just did this Saturday after a thunderstorm. Carp were feeding right up close to the bank. Got a couple & missed or spooked more. Fun. Thanks for making and sharing!

I remember catching carp with canned corn as a kid. =) I usually catch them on Rat-L-Traps when I'm bass fishing now. When you can see a carp near the surface, you should try to catch one on a popper, it is pretty exciting, that's the next fishing challenge. =) Nice job! They are strong fish!

[@RealisticFishing]

I used to see a lot more of them. If I ever see them feeding on top I might have to try it 👍

[@crzyruskie86]

Carp never bite my topwater stuff. I had one eat a rooster tail and snap my line because I was on 4lb test and didn't expect it at all. Plus my drag was too high ;(

So glad to see you up to 15k subs man. I subbed to your channel before any other fishing related one. In your description it matched up because I myself had gotten away from fishing for a long time and was just getting back into it(Had a lot going on in life and just had to do something). People talk about shaming and bullying and unfortunately you see it on here with fishing gear as much as anywhere and it's good to show people new to the sport that you can get out there and do it without spending tons. While nice gear can help, it's not gonna make up for time and experience. If anything it's better to start out with the average gear because then you can actually utilize the quality products even more. I've brought in several largemouth over 6lbs on the $15 Lew's Hank Parker combo actually using the line that came prespooled and YUM Dingers and Ozark Trail knockoffs. Point being you can't catch a fish if your not trying so go ahead and get gear you can afford and get to the water instead of worrying about what gear everyone else has or wants.

[@RealisticFishing]

I am just here to fish, I dont really care about gear or what snobby kids think. I can outfish them on Walmart stuff 😂

That was a big carp, it brings back memories of how my Brothers and Buddies used to carp fish. We made peanut dough balls, you just make a peanut butter sandwich, knead it into a big ball, then pinch off a piece for the hook. We used the same sinker set up as we did for catfish, talk about some great fun!

I fished for them too when I was a kid. Mulberries were amazing bait where I lived. Especially if they hung over the water.

Good fishing and quite a catch. I like channels that focus on the simplicity of fishing without all the trendy high tech expensive gear. I can still have fun shore casting in a lake catching perch, sunnys and small bass. Just being out there is more what it’s all about for me. Time to stop thinking and just be. That’s the appeal of fishing in my mind, getting some sun and fresh air and seeing how nature works. 🎣

Have to say, I'm a bit amazed at the size of hook and line you're using to catch Carp, even with the bait you're using, I was catching some really beautiful sized Carp last week, and most, if not all, were caught on either a size 16 or a size 14 barbless hooks, that was on 6lb line and 4lb hook length

Nah the common carp have been around awhile, now the silver carp people film jumping totally decimate any area they take hold in unfortunately.
