worms work best in my opinion. you can also use bread, cheese, and small jigs. if they are close to the bank you could use a fly that imitates a crayfish or a berry. also if you fish in a spot where people feed the fish and ducks a lot, definitely go with the bread. also there is this stuff they sell at farm and fleet that is labeled "carp bait" so I am guessing that would work.
Corn is what I found to be the best bait for carp.
I have always used corn. But having said that, I have never been able to get one.
Bread or corn is what I use and worms work well too. If their biting they will bite anything.
I used to make amixture of cornmeal and strawberry ello. Cant remember the recipe but Im sure you can find it on the web.
small game sportsman,
You better switch to a bread ball or hot dog to improve your luck.
