I'm a little hung up on ONLY targeting the carp with the baited feed. Surely other fish will be enticed to eat the bait. I suppose some collateral damage can be accepted?

I have caught many carp while fishing for other species, included baits have been...

earthworms while fishing for BG and CC,
canned corn while fishing for BG,
jigs while fishing for BG and crappie, and
small bread wads for panfish.

I can't think of anything that carp like that others do not. Well, maybe brussel sprouts..LOL! (I bet TP even like that)

To reduce the collateral damage, one could feed train the carp and then one un-expecting day hit them with the "stuff" so long as other species haven't joined the party. IDK


Fish on!,
