I've been inspired to try carp fishing after reading these posts, I haven't had much luck, I did actually lose something that seemed huge tonight, but I've been chumming with cream corn and casting a corn baited 6 hook with a split shot maybe 18in above it. I noticed you are using an egg sinker. So are you using like Carolina type rig? And what size hooks?

Yeah some guys use a Carolina rig but a split shot and hook will work just fine. I caught several hundred carp over a summer or two as a child with the same rig. Moved on to fancy rigs and euro carping tactics with the same success. Finally moved on to the fly rod and by far that is the way to fish for them. Very fun sight casting to them. Now I switched to the bow but that's a different topic.

Anyways the best advice I can tell you Justin is go scout and find fish actively feeding then chum that area and fish it. A lot easier attracting fish that are already feeding in that area
