A carp is to intelligent to be caught!

[ayjay]

Only take 22mm boilies nowadays chum ,chuck it in and wait a month for it to chew it down small enough to eat is how it works

22mm is no bar to a greedy Gudgeon, I've hauled them in still sucking on a 25mm cube of luncheon meat.

All,

 

"Specimen" is a relative word. I can't help but think we all like to catch specimen of the target species. The most difficult part of "specimen" hunting for carp in the US is finding waters with specimen and without tons of tiddlers. I think watercraft is the answer to sorting where the bigguns are laying.

Thers nothing clever about a carp, its more them wiley carp bait manufacturers that are clever, convincing every angler to pile in kilos of the stuff when there are no carp for miles. On my local lake theres bait going on top of bait on a daily basis.
