I love carp fishing. I use oatmeal balls. Stotty and DanDanUK are big enthusiasts, but I haven't seen those brits in awhile.

If you fish a place that isnt heavily pressured, corn and bread will be fine.

Dont forget to kill the stinky ugly bastards once you land them!

Agreed that they are pests that have infested lakes, but they are great fish and a hell of a fight. You can't affect the population by killing them, so why bother? Just my thought.

I’m still about mate pop in no and then :D its Carp fishing mad time in the UK doing a lot at the moment but yes a much sought after fish in Europe people don’t realise the fighting potential on light gear sweet corn is probable one of the best baits other than good old bread. If you want any tips PM me and i can send you 100's of links :D

I guess there is not a lot of carp in that lake. How long were you there?

a long time..... like 7 hrs...
 
Here is a small on I caught on 4pound test and a 5ft ultralight rod. But my biggest carp to date is just over 22 pounds.
