canned corn and vanilla extract, chum heavily then string a few corn beads on a hook leave the drag light and make sure your rod is secured not just laying on a small twig in the dirt....sit back drink a beverage of choice and wait for the zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz, lift and reel. Great fight nice coloring huge pucker lips been into some 10#'s on really light stuff absolutely awesome...


Good luck but keep an eye on your tackle;)

a buddy from work told me wheat bread and vanilla extract no weight, tried it once but the bread never lasted long enough to attract the carp cuz the sunnies hit the hell out of it...read online after that, the best way is to put an egg sinker 1/8-1/4 on and wrap and tie a square of pantyhose around the bread so 1)sunnies cant do much damage and 2)it can sit there a bit longer calling to the carp...they like anything sweet...havent tried it yet...debating on going out for a bit tonight and might try...if i do ill report back if it worked

Pizza dough with anise. Make pea sized bits. Find a good spot and toss in a few pre made baits at the same time for a few consecutive days. Tell the children you want to try a spot and fish that time with the bait. Freshwater bluefish fight on!!!!!!!!
