They might not be too interested right now due to the spawn. They have other things on their mind.

Generally, though, whole kernel sweet corn is a good bait. Use a fairly light sinker, and a pretty small hook. I usually use a 2/0 or smaller with a single split shot. thread corn onto your hook unil it's covered, toss a handful or two of corn into the area you're casting to, and hang on.

If they're feeding on the surface, try some dry flies. I use a small transparent float (for casting weight) about 18" above the fly, and it sometimes works.

Good luck.

I go 6'0" and about 250lb. The carp? Your guess is as good as mine. I pulled this one off the bottom of Green in Spicer,MN. I locked down my drag and powered the fish in using a heavy Fig Rig and 50# PowerPro. This tactic is highly recommended, but only if you're geared sufficiently, stretched out, and warmed up. My biceps were sore for days.

Big props to Fig Rig Custom Rods, a fine Minnesota rod maker out of Grand Rapids,MN. Also PowerPro, their braided lines have proven to be highly versatile and reliable. MySpace

I'm sorry I cheated, that fish was a breathing floater I pulled out on Linwood years ago, I've posted the pic before and thought it was 32#s, the other day I found the pic, turned it over and it was only 27#s. I did get one off my dock one day a couple years ago that was 17#s, cant find the pic.
