Hi Aaron welcome to the site,
Although I dont do a major amout of carp fishing I am alway looking for new ways to catch fish. Most of the time I go match fishing and because of the size of carp compared to the other fish that what I set out for. Because of this i'm always interested in finding new methods and baits to catch them on.
When you say dough baits do you mean some sort of paste? if so what do you put in it?
Also what is the carp fishing scene like out there in the US? I remember going to florida 3-4 years ago and i was seeing a pool every 1-2 miles.... fishermans paradice?
