Last Summer Carp

I've been testing out what's the minimum amount of bait I would have to use in correlation to lake size, river size, and stream size this Summer. I've came to the conclusion that if you are fishing a medium sized lake (100 acres-1000 acres) you would need to add a method to your rig like the one below for extra scent to attract carp:

A method is basically that extra glob of bait in which I wrapped around my sliding sinker and swivel for extra scent.

OR

you can use a double hook rig like the one below BUT I WOULD USE HAIR RIGS INSTEAD OF THE SINGLE CIRCLE HOOKS. Also you would have less tangles if one leader is longer than the other. For example one being 19 inches and another being 8 inches:

I've also found that in Lakes that are smaller, rivers, or streams, I could get away with just a single hookbait. The scent of the single hook bait is just enough to cover a significant area of a small lake, and the scent disperses really well in current such as a river or a stream. For example fishing Kelley Point Park with a single hook bait works great:







The largest one of the day was this 11 lber that took about 10 minutes to reel in:

I would've uploaded some sort of video footage of that day and other successful fishing trips I had last Summer but my Windows Movie Maker is broken for some odd reason
