I've done well other times with corn but these carp wouldn't touch the corn!

bottom line...carp masters...point me in the direction of some early spring cold, but warming water carp baits, please

thanks in advance.

I fished a lot for carp in the Passaic as a kid. In cold water during the fall, winter and early spring, I caught fish on worms. When the water warmed up I would have success with corn. Fish always seem to be most active in the river after a rain when the water levels rose. Good luck!
