Which bait would be best to use in a smallish shallow pond when fishing for carp?
Also which ground bait would you reccommend? Thanks, Johneh. -------------------- |

Worms, corn, bread, maggots or casters.
On hook and mashed together with hemp on the bottom. -------------------- |

If you want to be a bit more innovative, I'd say try a hair-rigged piece of luncheonmeat or frankfurter sausage. It's getting hot enough to catch them on surface-fished crust or dog biscuit too... Tight lines!

Ledger fishing sorry. I used fake sweetcorn on the hook in the end and real corn on the ground, only caught one small carp but my friend (Braderz) caught a 14 lb on the same setup so I just put mine down to bad luck =(

Johneh try a different approach like I did some years ago before it all come out.
Use plenty of real yellow sweetcorn as loose feed but a red real sweetcorn on as a hookbait or a different hookbait like luncheon meat,partiles bait, boilies (this will stand out in the among the pile of yellow sweetcorn and also this will stand out in the water). As for you friend it would been that he got lucky! Look for patrol routes around the island or any sign of carp feeding and bang the bait in there! [ 31.
