Default Re: Carps? Cats?

Yup, definitely carp.

I haven't fished for them in a while. When I did, I used canned sweet corn. DelMonte has the largest kernel size. I would throw a few handfuls out onto the water where I was seeing them 'graze'. I dispersed the corn over a 20-foot by 20-foot area. Not enough to fill them, but just enough corn to get them grazing and focused on the corn.

Then I would bait a few kernels on a #6 hook and cast it out and wait for the big one. With time and experience, you will refine your locations and presentations.
