RE: The Bite was on so was the Heat

in FISHING!6 months ago

Hopefully the the dry streak comes to an end. I would like to see some of Spain's carp. I'm curious, we usually use corn, dough balls or prepared commercially bait to catch the carp we have here. Do you use similar bait to catch them there?

Ya the heat is on at many places around the globe. I feel a long hot summer. I usually have two hats when I fish because I have had one blow off my head into the water once and watched it float away ,haha.

Take care and best luck fishing 🎣 🐟🐠

As the lake where I go is natural (I mean, it is artificial, but they don't feed the fish, and it's not "commercial" water), I try to fish without using any "strong" bait (chemicals and stuff that pro-fishermen use)... So, I'm using corn, and feeding before fishing with a combo that I prepare at home... As carp is like a pig, eating everything, and lazy as f... 😂

I've known people to do that, we call it chumming. They will drop a bunch of homemade prepared bait in a particular (secret) area a few days or a week before fishing it. When it's time to fish they use that bait in that area. It not legal everywhere here most do this targeting catfish. I personally haven't done it.

Interesting... I never heard that it is illegal in some other parts of the world... But, I get it if you attract fish and you catch it in some "illegal" way... that makes sense...
