From those ingredients, I'd think you are baking a cake! I think the bait got really dried out. If you can find a way to add residual moisture, it may be a bit better. Proud owner of this page since '22.

That's a pretty nice list... You might want to add "Salt Water Fishing Tactics" to the it, I highly recommend (forgot who it's by, though).

Thanks, I'll remember that.

I've got 2 cats, a dog, and a couple of fish. I wish I had a penguin, they look just like small tuxedo people! 😁

Perhaps you're right... I would agree, as with many things, trial and error is generally the best choice.

For your son, I wouldn't recommend buying the best rod on the market just yet- if he decides to drop fishing, then it wouldn't be good to have thrown a whole bunch of money down the drain. If your son decides to fish more, though, I would then buy a better rod for him so it can be a more enjoyable experience. As for your size of rod, if your son plans to catch smaller fish species, then I'd elect for a 5-8 lb rod. If he plans to go for larger fish, then I would lean more towards a 10-16 lb rod. As far as length goes, it really doesn't matter all that much in my opinion. A 5 ft rod would be optimal, but you can go up to a 7 ft rod if you can't find anything else. Since your son is new to fishing, it would be best for him to have a push button reel, otherwise it would be difficult for him to learn a full reel with no experience whatsoever (I speak from experience here). For a kit, I'd buy him some line that has a pretty similar rating to that of your rod and possibly some lower-rated lines as well if you plan to go fishing for smaller fish. You could get some lures, but I haven't had the greatest experience with them and smaller fish species. And of course, buy bait according to the species of fish that he wants to catch. Overall, if he seems to enjoy fishing a lot and goes often, then you can buy him a better rod, reel, and maybe some more equipment too. I could go on for a very long time about gear for smaller fish catching, as that is my specialty, but I'd recommend to learn as you go for this one. Wow, a topic that I'm useful! 😁

If I were to guess, trying two different spots wouldn't give you the correct data about which mix works best. This would be because carp could just generally prefer an area to a different area. My recommendation would be to come back the next day and try with a different mix and compare your catches from both days.

Wow, I didn't know that. I just thought that was the point at which the rod snapped. Should a 14-lb rod be okay, though?

Just a general overview of what can be in the blog: Tips for me because I'm a noob. Catch discussions. Ask questions on my recommendations about catching smaller fish species. Just general quetions. Reminder: I'm new.

If I were to buy a rod and line for carp fishing, how strong should it be? I currently have a 14-pound rod (Same strength line), but usually only use this for small fish. Also, what kind of bait/hooks work best for carp fishing? I plan to start carp fishing this summer, so that's why I'm asking.

I'm not sure who it's by, but I put a picture of it down below. It's got some great tips and stories about salt water fishing. I'd highly recommend for people who are in to that sort of thing.

nice fish
