It is important that you know as much about carp as you can before you go out on your first fishing trip to catch these elusive fish. Are you an experienced angler? If so, you still will be at a disadvantage if you don't know the behavior and feeding habits of these fish, so you need to learn about them before you set out on your trip. For some reason, carp like shady areas that are hard to find, so this is where you need to look. The following tips and strategies will help you hook a carp the next time you go out fishing.
Throughout the world, carp fishing has always been popular, and is now gaining momentum in the United States. Going all the way back to the Middle Ages, this is when carp fishing began in Europe. Carp fishing is popular in the UK, plus other areas of Europe, even to this day. This type of fish has long been highly valued in Asia as well. For over 1000 years, carp has been used in China in various recipes and dishes. Over the last century, carp have been introduced to almost every region on earth. This means you can enjoy the sport of carp fishing no matter where you go, though the particular species you encounter may vary from place to place.
Like some species of fish, carp have a knack of knowing you are there to get them. They may nibble at what you have put in the water, but quickly remove it from their mouths. In such cases, you may not even be aware that you had a bite. That's why it's usually recommended to use a barbless hook when fishing for carp. If there is no barb, then you have a higher probability of catching these fish. Also, you should try putting a weight a few feet up which will create slack in the line in order to attract the fish. The carp will notice if the bait looks unnatural, which is why you want to give it slack, which will give it a much more natural appearance. In essence, you are having to combat the instincts of the carp, and if you can do this, your fishing trip will be more successful.
When you go fishing, you have to use a strategy that's appropriate for the kind of fish you're trying to catch. It is imperative that you know simple things like what bait they like, or what location they are more likely to be in. In the case of carp, you should keep in mind that this species usually likes to feed near the surface of the water. Your ability to catch them might be improved by casting corn on the surface of the water which will float and attract the fish.
Catching a large carp is not that easy! It takes a bit of focus and patience. Giving up by the end of the day is usually what most people do, especially if you are in challenging waters with fish that know you are there.
On the other hand, a giant carp might see your bait and want to bite it because it is very hungry. Your entire rig could actually capsize if the carp weighs over 20 pounds and is fighting mad. It is important to always be attentive when fishing for carp and hold your fishing pole for dear life. You could actually have a giant carp take your bait when you are not paying attention, which is why you have to always be alert.
Although carp fishing is just starting to come into its own in the United States, it has a long history in other parts of the world. Carp fishing actually came from Europe, and since the Middle Ages, has been very popular. In Europe, and especially the UK, carp fishing has been done for centuries. Carp fishing is also popular if you go to Asia where the sport is highly revered. Cultivated for nearly a millennium in China, this fish is extremely popular in the foods that they cook. Almost every part of the earth has had carp brought to it in the last hundred years or so. So no matter where you go in the world, you will be able to do the sport of carp fishing, and also catch different species of this fish along the way.
