I was fishin for some carp today when I stumbled upon a part of the canal that had a little waterfall leading into it, and it made the water by it crystal clear . It was prolly around 4-5 feet deep and I could see the carp just lurking the bottom. I had a slip bobber set about3 feet down with a peice of hot dog. Couldnt catch nothin. Any advice?????
Thanks Nick

Nick--Try somethin other than a hot dog. I'm pretty sure there is a Carp Section in the Forum Dept. Check it out, should be some advice on bait there.

Try some whole kernel corn.

[RiverRat]

jdisci is right, corn is a great carp bait. Worms and mullberries also work well this time of year.

I'm telling ya, SUPER SWEET CORN!!! It works every time!!! Make sure you bring a can opener. I always carry one in my tackle box

Corn Corn Corn and more corn... It always helps to chum the water too I will usually bring a can for bait and a can for chum.

corn is ALWAYS my top producer. put it on a hair rig and you cant get a better set up.

I use bread balls, corn ,and whole nightcrawlers on the bottom of the lake and they have all produced fish but the bigger ones are on corn and the nightcrawlers. I fish in gages lake alot. I pulled a 5 pounder out of there one time on corn that covered my hook. The best part about using live worms are that you can catch catfish .
