I learned to fish for carp by packing oatmeal or panko bread crumbs around an inline 2 or 3 oz. lead.
I mix in some cream corn that is flavored with a concentrated flavoring to help attract the attention of the fish.
Last year I used pineapple exclusively. This year I am using butternut exclusively. The year is still young, but the butternut is edging in front of pineapple as my favorite flavoring.
We used to have a local fishing store in Flat Rock that carried R & W Carp Juice, but since it closed last year I've been getting my flavoring from
ShopBettys.com. They have a wide selection of flavorings for carp fishing and shipping is fast and easy.
