I went out to Johnson Lake last night (Wadsworth and Bowles) and tried fishing for carp. I used corn and PowerBait corn...both on the bottom and under a bobber. NOTHING!!! They were all around jumping like crazy. Any advice for catching them?

Yep, so have I. I look at the situation this way: if you are specifically targeting carp, and only carp, go with the doughballs. If you are out after anything that might bite, including perhaps a carp, that's when you go with the night crawlers.boner said:I have pulled a lot of carp, even the big ones, with just live nightcrawlers.....
