I just came back from carp fishing and I am so upset! I used 20lb line with corn as bait. I chumed the water with creamed corn. I had a decent amount of slack in the water since carp are so sensitive. About every 20 minutes something (I'm pretty sure a carp) would start nibbling at the bait then it would start taking in huge amounts of slack and the rod would start bending but the hook would not set. I would then attempt to set the hook, but nothing is there... Or a different scenario, it would immediately take all of the slack and the rod would bend and then quickly go slack again, then it would start bending then immediately go slack again. This happened atleast 6 times. What am I doing wrong?
