I have been fishing for many years. With that said I have never been a (fill in the blank) fisherman. I would go out and do basically the same thing as always, with a few differences, and catch what ever I could to bend the pole. I would get lucky now and then but quite honestly I never really wanted to target a particular fish. I went to Bardwell and camped out with the wife. Did what I seem to always do. Minnow's, Frozen shad, shrimp, I even had two live crawdads i had caught in my minnow trap and "store bought" vanilla carp dough bait---NOTHING! Then I remembered the post on beginner Carp fishing by Starless Dragon. I went and bought a bag of frozen corn and chummed an area not REALLY expecting any different results than the other tips I have taken with low results. ( My fault I know, but I'm just saying.) I threaded two poles with corn and chunked it out. And waited--and waited--and waited. After about 30 minutes we had a pole bending! Wow! Over the next 3 hours we caught and released 8 very nice carp, plus had two break offs at the bank. My wife is hooked on carping now, THANK YOU Starless Dragon! We had a great time, that was fun!

LOL CARP WALKER!
Those 3 hours we were carping was some of most enjoyable times I have had fishing. No way to know how many others like me that are out there, but I for one see why you guys commit to these fish. And seeing my wife smile with a big fish on the end of her line--- Well, that was just plain goodness. Thanks guys for helping to convert me by your post. I will try hard to be good student.
