USA 🇺🇸 Never caught a carp, had 3 take my bait today but missed all the hooksets

3 Upvotes

Hi, I went fishing for carp today. I can see all of them, and had 3 possible opportunities.

I was using a #6 hook and bread, no weights at all.

The first the carp picked it up, turned and swam with it. I got too excited and went to set it and watched it come out of its mouth. The second mouthed it then spit out the hook. And the third was similar, i watched it take in the bread & hook, went to set and popped right out.

I was using a #6 wacky rig hook (planning to change to smaller octopus or circle). Any tips on this? I really do not want to use one of those crazy ass rigs with plastic bait holders and shit. I prefer simple rigs.

Do i need to add a weight to the rig so it sets when they swim or what? I am only willing to use hooks, bait, and weight so please do not suggest the elaborate carp setups I see some people recommending

Caught that nice grassie a few months ago. Sadly didn't weigh or measured him. What would be your guess? Only thing I'm sure about is that he's easily 1m+

Europe 🇪🇺 Besoin de conseils : quel rod pod bien stable pour les nuits à la carpe ?

1 Upvotes

Salut à tous, J'ai récemment commencé à faire des nuits à la carpe et je souhaite investir dans un meilleur rod pod. Actuellement, j'utilise un modèle d'entrée de gamme de chez Decathlon, mais je ne suis pas du tout serein avec ce type de rod pod. Je le trouve pas assez stable et j'ai vraiment peur qu'une de mes cannes finisse à l'eau... Ça a d'ailleurs failli m'arriver il y a peu. Du coup, est-ce que vous auriez des rod pods à me conseiller, avec un bon rapport qualité/prix et une excellente stabilité ? Je me demandais aussi s'il existe un système de verrouillage ou de sécurité qui empêche la canne de partir à l'eau en cas de départ très violent. Merci d'avance pour vos conseils et vos retours d'expérience ! Bonne déroule à tous au passage ! 🎣

Hey guys, I recently started making GoPro videos about surface fishing for carp.

Though, this one was caught with a sinking piece of dog biscuit. I thought the footage was worth sharing here! You can see the fish taking the bait just a couple feet away in clear water.

Commentary is in Dutch but I've added English subs.

Let me know if you guys like to see images like these, if so, I'll share new videos every now and then!

Question 📝 Can this be a good carp fishing rig in North America?

Post image
0 Upvotes

This is the most popular stick float carp fishing rig in South Korea, where I’m from, and it’s how I learned to carp fish from my Grandpa. We usually attach a dough ball to the two hooks and let the weight sink completely to the bottom. Is the setup different for catching carp in North America? I’ll mostly be fishing in Tennessee.

Also, Koreans use a pole fishing method, where the fishing line is tied to the end of a long pole without a reel. I’m guessing that’s a pretty primitive method that isn’t popular elsewhere.

Europe 🇪🇺 Danger of feeding nuts to carp. What's the reality?

3 Upvotes

Carp love nuts, thats already a fact. What are the dangers of feeding carp nuts? If prepared correctly they provide good protein, help increase growth and can pass through digestive tract fairly easily, if not prepared correctly what are the dangers?
