hotdogs and bread work the best in the charles river

here's a few I have on my site: http://www.bigezworld.com/bait.html Course there are more simple ways. grab a can of corn , empty the juice into a bowl , dump the corn into a ziplock bag , then add in some pound cake flavoring or just head to your local grocery store and head to the spice isle , grab vanilla butter nut or one of the other many flavors there and add it to the corn , then pour some of the corn juice back into the bag. good luck

1lb raw hamburger, 1 lb limberguer cheese , 1 big scoop of minced garlic, garlic powder, 1 box of cereal,or corn meal , and about 10-16 ounces os soda to keep it sticky ( i use strawberry soda) ,,,,,sound crazy,but i yank'm all day ,,cat fish also ,,, mash on a trebel so just tips of hooks stick out slightly ,, ,,here a youtube link where i found the recipe,,just copy and paste ,,,             http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXUO81b-wKM

hope it works for u like it does me ,,read comments if u dont believe

get a box of wheates get a buck and put have of it with water and take the box of wheats and put in about a 1/3 ofthe box and mix it together until it becomes stickyand make 1"balls and mold it around a 1/0 hook adn form that wheat ball around it looks like a egg shape..AND HOLD OMN TO YOUR POLES U WILL GET A LITTLE NIBBLE THAN THEY WILL SUCK THAT BALLIN THIER MOUTH AND TAKE OFF RUNNING WATCH YOUR POLE......

Corn also works really well. Just make sure it's sweet corn!
TIGHT LINES!

thousands of things will catch carp. my favorite is grits and oats.

grits= 18oz nstant grits.........9 oz quick grits........i can cream corn.
mix it together and then put a peice of a rubber worm, about 1/2 inch long on a 1/0 hook and wrap the grits around it.


oats = 1 box of oldfashioned oats. about 2+ pounds and a can of cream corn. the do the same thing as with the grits.

as far as flavors go i use boxed jello (strawberry/banana, cherry, lime are my favorites but any will work) any of the vanillia butter nut, anise, cinnimon, any of the spices work well s well.

Wow Mike I didn't know you were a charter/life member of the NAFC? welcome to the BB.

I like a good oat pack with a big tigernut on the hair with a piece of popup maize.... NO TREBLE HOOKS

Sweet corn with a few drops of vanilla extract. They go crazy with this bait!
