All About the Exciting Sport of Carp Fishing

By Isreal Mosman


Carp fishing has been very popular in Europe for a long time, and is gradually gaining more devotees in North America as well. Many bodies of water are home to carp, but landing a carp may entail a contest of skills between you and this feisty fish. Carp, especially as they get older, have learned to be evasive and ornery. This article will help you learn how to outsmart and tame carp.

You must not ignore your hook if you want to have a successful catch. Your hooks must be sharp, for carp fishing as well as fishing for other types of fish.

One trait of carp that is to your benefit is that they are drawn to certain smells even though they are repelled by other smells. Creamed corn is one of the carps favorite foods and savvy carp fishers have an easy technique for attracting carp with this simple food.

North America isn't the native habitat of carp. Nevertheless, you can now fish for many varieties of carp in both Canada and the United States. The carp that has the largest population in America is called the common carp and it originated in Europe and Asia. In the 1800s, the common carp was introduced into the United States. They prefer lakes and ponds with warm water, but are very adaptable and can live even in water of poor quality. Another variety that comes from Asia is called the "Bighead" carp. These carp can grow very large and are sought after by avid sports fishers. Silver and grass carp are two other types of carp you can find in North America, as well as other countries around the world.

Night fishing is another strategy you may want to try as not many anglers bother to fish at night. The same basic rules apply, though you have to bring the right kind of gear, such as flashlights of course. You must exercise care when you fish at night because an unfamiliar environment can be full of hidden dangers.

A lot of successful night fishers say that carp tend to be easier to catch at night because they are somewhat lethargic and not so sharp witted or suspicious. Fishing at night takes a little more skill because when the fish do bite you have to rely more on your sense of touch, as you won't be able to see much.

The easiest way to learn successful methods of catching carp, is to talk to experienced carp fishers. The carp fishers in Europe have had plenty of time and experience in figuring out the best tactics for catching carp. Yet you can also find many knowledgeable fishermen in North America who can give you advice on carp fishing now that the sport is becoming more popular there.
