I grew up fishing for bullheads, bluegill, and carp on my grandfather's farm pond. The bluegill and bullhead were stunted from being underfished and overpopulated. They would bite on anything. Once, I caught a bucket of bullheads on a lengthy piece of chicken entrail without any hook or line, and that's no s#it, or about three feet of s#it, depending how you look at it

The carp were a challenge to catch. They would come into the shallows to feed, and you had to use stealth to sneak up on them. Worms, sweet corn, and special recipe doughballs were the preferred baits. At three or four pounds, they fought better than anything else in the pond, 'cept maybe the snapping turtle. I don't remember what the flesh, or the bones tasted like. I only remember my grandmother warning us that if we choked on one of the bones, we would be dead before they got us to Council Bluffs.

You could probably catch a few carp by rolling a slice of Wonder Bread into a doughball, BUT if you're really serious about catching lots of large carp, I'd take KRISPY KREME donuts and roll them into pea sized balls. Put one on a number eight egg hook, cast it out, and HANG ON!
