Hi all!
I caught my first ever carp yesterday at 16.5lb. I was delighted!I was fishing a worm over a bed of corn.
This was a virgin water in Canada and I don't think it has been baited with corn before so I opted for the worm thinking the corn would still bring them to the worm,and it worked! ONCE!!! The fish were feeding as I could see mud clouds and the were surfacing now and again.I don't think they were spawning because it was only a few times that they surfaced as opposed to roiling around in the weeds etc. I tried hair rigged corn and worm with corn but to no avail! I fished visible fish in the margins too and I ledgered in different (non baited)areas but still to no avail.
CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT I DID WRONG OR SOMETHING! Is this a normal thing in carp fishing? How long does a bait work for before it's no longer any good. Rick.
