Nah - cabbage dust in the headwaters or a plug of gelli

both have the desired result.

Or - maybe a section of yellow pipe cleaner on a small No 6 fly hook.....

If you blokes haven't eaten a carp, this is how you fix them.
Lay the cleaned fillets on a clean hickory board, sprinkle with salt/pepper, lay slices of onion and green pepper around it, lay a couple of bacon strips on the fillets, sprinkle chopped hot peppers over fillets.
Wrap in alumn. foil and bake for 45 minutes at 300 degrees. Take out of oven and let cool and then throw away the carp and eat the board.LOLLOLLOLLOLLOLLOLLOL
Try it,

Good one Verlon!
 
I have no preferred lure for them but must say I have caught them as bye catch on a Bagleys DB3, a Manns 15+ and a score of lures meant for Yellowbelly, Bass and particularly Bream lures.

Verlon, over here 'down under' we have an alternative recipe you might like to try.
Make a vegetable stock using water, cabbage, brussell sprouts, carrots, onion, cauliflower, broccoli and potatoes.
A qty of a gallon will be ideal. Simmer for 4 hours and strain vegetable residue off with a muslin cloth.
Replace the strained liquid onto heat and add the cleaned and headless fish along with a clean river rock.
Simmer covered for a further 4 hours.
Remove fish carcass and again strain through a cloth to remove any solids.
Season to taste, place rock in a bowl, pour broth over the rock and enjoy!!!Thumbs Up

I thought they were a popular dish in Europe. Is there no suitable recipe from there. Smoking?
The UK residence are keen to catch carp ,they spend a lot of money on the right gear,(use sweet corn bait) long thin rods and oversize nets,and spend long hours fishing for various size carp, what do they do with them.

Many years ago during the ANSA Burrinjuck Convention (Novem each year)  a few of us 'carp extractors' were presenting our still live catch to the weighmaster and were approached by an old guy from either Poland or Czechoslovakia and asked if he could buy our fish.Confused

We subsequently gave them to him - about 100kg in all and I just had to ask what was he going to do with them - pig food/fertiliser ???

They were to be eaten by his extended family at Christmas..

They just gut them and chop into big chunks - heads, scales and all, and boil them for hours/days and keep adding water and a zillion herbs n spices, garlic, chilli etc and keep skimming off the top and keep reducing until it became a thick porridge/broth. They dipped their bread in and ate down to the sludge on the bottom.

Yes he was dead serious as apparently in those poor countries during, and post world wars, carp were their only source of protien (Dead)....

Remembered a carp from years gone by, camping at Chaffey dam with Rava our children only small and Chris my youngest caught a big one and insisted we take it back so he could show Gary, Put it in the back of the landrover and drove 10 minutes back to camp and took me 6 months to get the smell out of the truck.

Have tried carp canned and fresh and it always tasted the same ,like crap/carp.
 
But have heard that if you skin(theres meant to be some enzme or something under the skin ) then  take a fillet and cut out what is called the blood line (a darker piece of flesh running down the middle of the fillet), your then meant to have something that doesnt taste like crap/carp

Wink ok can tell you all something thats going to make your heads spin!!!! Carp cooked properly is bloody beautiful!!!!! You must get a carp out of fresh clear water(minor/nil mud) fillet off sides and skin, on a angle slice the bony fillet, then wash the meat under running water cleaning as you go. put plug in sink and fill with a mixture of cheap white wine and a bottle of cider vinegar mixed about 50/50 leave fish pieces in marinade for 24hrs you can also add herbs and spices if you wish to marinade. After period of time in solution pull out and air dry pieces on paper then heat up the barbie wrap in foil and you'll never believe your eating carp!!!!! The Greeks showed me how to cook both carp and ( fatty large cod- so theres no fat left in meat after cooking)......regards B.J.

a little mepps trout spinner does it for me.       we have a lot of east europeans fishing for them for food in the albert and logan rivers - theylove em.  in south aust i bought some "smoked bream", ended up being carp - "NICE"(true story).   just back from pommieland, they cry when i show them photos of them up on the banks / holding them by the gills with a knife sticking out of them, over there you gotta have a padded release matt and blah blah blah. they hate the poles coming over to fish because they take the carp back home with em

Ive had them smack jitterbugs and atomic hardz chubbys .... note to self never try grap the pricks while they still have them in its mouth they thrash like a C%^$.

I have had a mate tell me if you catch one carp on a lure rub some slime off it onto your lure and you should get more apparently.

You can take nothing away from their fighting abilities - they hammer and I hate to say this, they can pull some of our natives, kilo for kilo, backwards. Am I still welcome on this site Ermm??

Well said Clap.
Have been catching carp for years and they know where the snags are.The bigger they are the easier they spook.Catch most on bait but have shot,speared,lured and cast netted many as well.Excellent pest to catch and makes life a little easier for our natives which is a real positive too. p.s good crab pot bait too.
