I have some "mulberry" carp bait by Eagle Claw leftover from when my son & I tried for carp in Stony Brook five years ago. Stuff floats like Power Bait, so I placed split shot pretty close to the hooks.

I spoke to guys from Shannon's recently about a coming Lamington River restoration and fly fishing participation from Fiddler's Elbow Country Club members, and heard, "Hang one of those carp, and you have a battle in hand." Fly fishing seems fitting for carp.

I make my homemade corn meal bait with organic black mulberry juice from Turkey. Caught 363 carp with it this year.

That is really cool, down to earth, at home, and exotic all at once.
