I caught 19 carp the past 5 days from the same spot with my homemade corn meal bait. Largest was 15 lbs.

Mind sharing your recipe? None of the ones I have tried so far have worked and some dont stay on the hook too well.

I thought carp meat was white and flakey, like chicken. Is that a Mitchell 300 reel ? Nice carp.

Nice carp NJ219bands.




No, it's darker than that, but with a strange texture and booby-trapped with barbed bones.

One recipe that will stay on the hook is to mix a cup of yellow corn meal with a cup of flour and some vanilla and water. After you make a big dough ball, put quarter size dough balls in boiling water for 3 minutes and you are good to go.

I bought 2 old Mitchell #300 reels on the Internet last year. I use them with my old 7' Shakespeare Ugly Stick for carping.

I'm assuming that's 19 more carp that were killed so they wouldn't smarten up, run you into snags the next time and cost you any 10 cent hooks?

If anyone is interested in catch and release carp fishing make sure you hold them with both hands underneath the stomach. Don't hold them by the gill plate or by the mouth with a lip gripper. There is soft tissue all around the mouth and gills that will rip because of the weight if you hold them like that. I know this guy kills all the carp he catches so I guess the fish was going to die anyway in this case, but this is a terrible example of how to hold a carp.

That's a Mitchell GARCIA 300 - named after your lookalike brother JERRY :)
