Carping

[Rockfish9]

Grape soda mixed with bran flakes, make a stickey dough... wrap in plastic and refrigerate.... pinch off a piece a little larger than a pea and bait with that... chum heavily with corn ( Green Giant nibletts are best, due to sugar content).... I've caught them up to 30lbs in the Merrimack... and I know larger ones exsist there....I've used Strawberry soda, but grape seems to be their favorite..

they were brought here origianly for sport... they bull dog... and even jump... I caught one once on a jig ( yes it ate the jig) bellow the Lawrence dam.. i was positve I had a bass of 20lbs or better.. it was a 8lb carp... you just never know...

Wow! Must have been a blast on light gear. I always wanted to do that, however never found an area locally that had a carp population. Does anyone out there know of a decent spot relatively close to Mansfield, MA. Love to turn my kids on to that as well.

I'll gladly put you onto a great carp spot for another one of those Cohibas.
