Boiled Potatoes Or Corn To Catch Your Carp?

Posted on March 8, 2010

Carp fishing is a more active sport fishing than bass fishing. Carp are smart, and they put up a fight. Some carp fishermen use carp landing nets to bring in carp when doing catch-and-release carp fishing. Nets range in price from under US$20.00 to around $200 depending on size, make, and features. Landing nets  have to be large and strong to handle carp successfully.

You need tough fishing tackle rigs to bring in a carp. Catching them isn’t that hard, but reeling them in definitely is. Many fishermen used corn to attract carp when carp fishing. Boiled potatoes are sometimes used as well.

There are several methods of bringing in a carp when carp fishing. You can have a friend help you pull the carp in, or you can let the carp “win” the first round of the catch as long as there aren’t places where it can swim and snag your line. A tired carp is an easier carp to reel in. Sturdy carp landing nets make bringing in a carp easier.



When it comes to fishing bait tackle for carp, the smaller the hook and the thinner the line the more likely you are to get a bite from a carp. Unfortunately, carp can break thinner lines, so you have to use some finesse to reel them in. It is also a good idea to bring plenty of hooks when carp fishing because hooks can easily be torn off a fine fishing line. Carp fishing is a challenge, but that is why it is becoming a more popular type of sport fishing in Asia, Europe, and North America.
