Re: Carp Fishing Central Jersey
Slip sinker and leave the bail open so they don't feel any resistance, once the line starts swimming away close the bail and hang on also make sure the drag isn't too tight and you have a full spool, there are some real monsters in deal lake. Also when approaching your fishing spot walk up slow and quiet most of the time the fish are a yard or less from the bank and like jmurr said the more chum the better. I chum my spot four times a week atleast.

Re: Carp Fishing Central Jersey
boil strawberry jello mix then add HARD feed corn and boil till it just starts to get soft, use it for chum and also as hook bait.
The strawberry scent really draws them in

Re: Carp Fishing Central Jersey
Dogfish, if you know where there is a mulberry tree, grab as many as you can once they ripen and start chumming with them. Once the carp start taking them off the surface, put a single berry on a small, light-wire hook and toss it right into the middle of the frenzy. I give it about 3-5 seconds before a carp nails it. Caught some HUGE slobs in Deal Lake one day doing that.

Re: Carp Fishing Central Jersey
Sometimes in the spring you can cast to them in the small pond in front of KMart in Rt 35. They lounge around soaking up the rays. A very light trout rod, a few kernels of corn on a number 6 hook and Jersey bonefishing. Water might actually be too warm too early for that this year.

Re: Carp Fishing Central Jersey
Thanks everyone!!!! This info is great! I will let you guys know how I do!
Gameplan: -Try Deal Lake... I am going to fish the spot furthest to the east (closest to the beach) based on dfish28's recomendation to fish close to the rt71 bridge... -I will chum some cream corn right when I get there and set up a rod with a small hook with a light weight, some corn and maybe even make hammer4reel's bait suggestion! -If we dont catch anything after a couple of hours then we will try a smaller lake like Lake Como THANKS!!!! |

Re: Carp Fishing Central Jersey
never went around the rt287 area but the entire canal has carp everywhere. find a calm area with not much weeds/current and a wide open bank close to the water to make landing the fish easier. chum like hell with corn and put a few kernels on a size 2-6 hook, sliding sinker setup with a swivel and 20lb fluorocarbon/mono leader, or thin braid if ur fishing hair rig style. use any medium heavy action outfit w/ 10-14lb line. if chumming initially doesnt work, try prebaiting a spot a few days before the actual trip to get the carp acustomed to the bait. set up 3 poles and cast into the middle where its deepest. use rod holders and make sure the drag is set lose. i lost 2 rods for not paying attention and underestimating the strength of these fish.when a fish grabs the bait and runs tighten the drag ASAP and hold on tight
