bfs0078 Extreme Angler Registered: 10/26/09 Posts: 1183 Loc: georgetown Tx	Small I'll agree with, but type of bait really makes no difference. I have caught them on 16mm boilies, maize, plastics and even seen them caught on a small piece of plain foam. Its all about getting them feeding in your area. _________________________ ATC 2012 Champion pb common 34-6 Feb 24 2012 pb float common 7lbs 8oz pb mirror 4 lbs pb Grasser 38 lbs pb buff 42 lbs 4oz pb blue 10lbs 9oz pb lmb 10lbs 2oz THE SECRET TO FISHING.....

buffaloman chris TFF Celebrity Registered: 04/15/07 Posts: 7267 Loc: mexia tx	it may not matter what bait, but how you present it to them is what counts, ted, i would carpet bomb a 3 foot area and place all 3 lines in that area. thats how i got my 5 50's. you cant over feed buffs, they will feed till they explode. _________________________ pb buffalo 58.0lb pb common 31.14 pb grasser 36.0lb pb mirror 24.12lb pb koi 15.25lb pb goldfish 1.5lb Lone Star Carp Brigade - Dedicated to the promotion, education and camaraderie of carp anglers in the great state of Texas
