"I've never caught a carp with corn", "We don't eat corn with carp", "What bait can I use to catch carp besides corn......
I've received many, many questions like these. The first thing to say is that the corn can't catch carp, not necessarily because the fish doesn't like to eat, it may also be a problem with usage, especially where the resources are not very good, it is normal to not be able to catch it if the usage is not right, and you may not be able to catch it if you change other baits.
If you really don't eat it, don't die, the bait for carp fishing is not only corn, you can try to change the bait.
How to fish for carp with corn
Corn is known as the "king of vegetarian bait", and it is almost a necessary bait for catching big fish, and it is cheap and resistant to small fish, so I think it is better to try to adjust the method first.
As mentioned above, many anglers can't catch carp with corn because of the wrong usage, I think there is a high probability that you have a problem with the nest, generally using corn hooks, and the nest material is basically corn.
The habit of many anglers is to make a heavy nest and then hang two grains of corn to guard.
This method is very inefficient, the resources are good, but today's wild fishing resources are not the same as more than ten years ago, and even a few years ago can not be compared, there are not many fish in themselves, one or two into the nest, you hit a bunch of corn, and then hang two corn and throw it in the corn pile to find the fish, it is difficult to think.
Therefore, I have always suggested that if the resources are not good, if you do not play overnight nests or plan to fish for a long time, the number of nests must be controlled. You can play a few more nests, but each nest must be less, 1~2 handfuls of corn is enough, and even can be accurate to the "pieces", one is more than a dozen, and two handfuls are twenty or thirty.
You can mix some powdered bottom nest material, such as cow nest, pure grains and the like, these powdered ones are helpful for attracting fish, at least they can attract small fish, and the small fish gather there to eat, you can attract carp, and you can make carp let their guard down.
After the nest is not in a hurry to start fishing, at least wait for more than half an hour, 1~2 hours is a reasonable range, and then fish for a period of time is to let the fish completely let down their guard, and then consume more nest materials. There is less food in the nest, so the bait on the hook can attract more fish after we get off the rod.
If you go down early, don't fish the middle of the nest, you should fish the edge of the nest, half a meter, one meter.
What should I do if I don't like to eat corn? You can try hanging sweet potato chunks
If you follow my method and try it a few times and the results are not good, then don't force it, try other baits, carp fishing In addition to corn, my most recommended is sweet potato chunks.
Boil the sweet potatoes until they are medium-rare, then cut them into small pieces, spread them out and dry them in the sun a little, don't dry them for a long time, otherwise they will dry!
As long as the water in the outer layer of the sweet potato evaporates a little, it is better to hook up.
If you don't want to make your own home, you can buy Laotan sweet potato corn, which has sweet potatoes in it, and we will pick out the sweet potatoes and hook them, and the corn can be nested.
But it is also not recommended to play heavy nests, even if corn nests, sweet potato hooks, so that "nest bait separation", but the amount of nests is too heavy, fishing efficiency is still low!
I have tested this many times in actual combat, and I have also observed it with an underwater camera, carp is such a thief, and if there is a lot of nest material, it only eats nest material, or it does not eat nest bait!
The second method: carp fishing with crucian carp bait
There are a large number of anglers who don't like to use corn, so they prefer commercial bait, but with commercial bait, generally speaking, you can use commercial bait for crucian carp fishing, and you can use commercial bait for carp fishing.
But in fact, if you hook up with a commercial bait for carp, the carp may not eat it, and use the crucian carp bait as a fishing bait for crucian carp, but you will catch carp again and again.
Especially in some places where carp is not popular and there are no people who specialize in carp fishing, it is possible to use crucian carp bait better than carp bait.
Of course, you can't just open crucian carp bait, because most of the crucian carp bait is very delicate and atomized very well, so I recommend using it together.
For example, I often use the combination of field 918 + snail carp + blue carp to fish for carp, or I can add some silkworm pupa powder or fishmeal. Add less water when opening the bait, use the way of rubbing the bait to fish, rub a little bigger in the early stage, looser a little, and change it to soft and sticky in the later stage.
To deal with the more cunning carp, then open it in advance, use brown sugar water to open the bait, and then put it in a plastic bag for a day and ferment it slightly.
Use commercial bait as a carp fishing, the line set can be a little thinner, you have to see the mouth first, catch the fish, make sure that the bait is okay, the fish loves to eat, and then think about catching the fish.
You directly use the 4+3, 5+4 line to guard, and you don't have a mouth for a long time, and you don't know if the line is thick or the bait is not the right way.
The third method: use snail meat
A lot of people don't know that carp love snails, but they do, and the bigger the carp, the more they love to eat, and even you can't catch corn with bait, it only eats snails or mussels and the like.
I actually shared this many years ago, and there are a lot of fishing to try, to be honest, most of the fishing friends still report that the effect is not good, and only a small number of people have caught it.
So this can only be used as an alternative, that is, when you have tried all the other baits, it doesn't work, and finally use snails, or forget to bring bait, you can also try.
The snail can not only catch herring, carp, grass carp, but also yellow mulberry, and I have never caught other fish, so I dare not say.
However, it should be noted that only the herring snail can be hung directly, and the shell needs to be broken to catch other fish, and only the meat is hung.
The last method, which is a homemade bait, is mainly aimed at wild and cunning large carp
This method is more cumbersome and time-consuming, so anglers who like to flip can try it.
Prepare a small amount of soybeans and corn, fry separately, and sauté over low heat until fragrant.
After frying until fragrant, it should be broken several times, the first time half of the powder and half of the granules, the particles are about the same size as rice. Then take half of it out, this one is for nesting, so the particles are slightly coarse.
The rest continues to be beaten, and it does not need to be completely powdered, leaving some small particles, probably like the thickness of table salt.
50% minced soybeans, 30% minced corn, 20% coarse bran, then add a little beer and flour, don't add a lot of flour, you can nest the dough. This is used to make a nest, and you can hit 2~3 regiments with a big fist.
With fishing bait, 50% soybean flour, 30% corn flour, 10% coarse bran, and 10% flour. The bran can be replaced with superluting, if you use superluting, it's okay to add more, but don't replace the nest material with superlude.
After mixing evenly, beer + brown sugar bait, you can open it one day in advance, or you can open it 2 days in advance, don't add a lot of water, otherwise it will be too wet after standing for one or two days.
This bait has no flavor and pigment, only a slight fermented fragrance, which is very good for the hot and large carp, but it is not suitable for fishing very small carp, and it is not suitable for use when the temperature is low!
Today's article is written here, and I hope to see the last fishing friends to pay attention to and like, and I wish you a lot of fish.
