Carp are sucker type fish and require special techniques to catch as they are not like typical game fish. Many people typically catch carp accidentally as they eat worms off the bottom. Carp feed in a manner similar to that of the gold fish you may have had as a pet. The take in debris and spit out what they can not digest... Like the goldfish sucking in rocks and spitting them back out at the bottom of your fish bowl. To complicate matters they are very skittish so the pinch of a hook or loud noise and movement will scatter them.
They generally feed off the bottom so you need a bottom presentation. That means you need a hook with a weight and some bait lying at the bottom of the water. Generally people will use a hair rig for carp. Because of the way the feed, sucking in debris and blowing it back out the traditional method of placing bait on your hook is not effective. They tend to sense the weight of the hook or feel the hook point and just drop it and bolt. The hair rig allows the carp to suck in the bait completely mouth it and accept it while pulling in the hook which is set a couple of inches behind the hook and pulled in when the bait is picked up. When the carp feels the pinch of the hook it turns to bolt, with the weight of the sinker acting a stop, this is usually enough to set the hook.
You can then real in the fish in a traditional manner. Carp can get very big and are known to be very tough fighters and have become an unofficial sports fish in many areas. Because they re mostly considered a rough fish they can be fished any time of the year in most jurisdictions which adds to their appeal.
Another part of the fishing for carp is chumming the areas they frequent (their swims) some people visit days in advance of the fishing trip to spread grains or corn in the water to keep the fish coming back. The day of fishing the water is chummed again to bring in the fish.
Unlike other sports fishing carp fishing tends to be more passive because of the feeding habits of the carp. Chum, bait, wait. the thrill of their large size and fight keeps the anglers interested.
