How can I catch carp?

Carp Aren't As Dumb As They Look

Carp don't get the respect they deserve. As a matter of fact, carp are fairly intelligent and may take some finesse to overcome their spooky nature.

When carp are choosy, try a doughball with cheese. Drop the bait near shoreline in several feet of water. Use an open-faced reel with the bail open so that when the fish picks up the bait it won't feel any pressure and drop the bait.
