Growing up, when we wanted to catch carp, we’d mix up a batch of yellow mustard and corn flakes.

My standard offerings. Throw some corn out, drop a marker buoy, and then back away 50-60 ft. Dip fly in a an open can of corn sweeten with extra sugar. Then cast and wait.

Looks pretty sweet! I'm slowly learning to fly fish and would love to get some suckers and carp on the fly

I never tried it for bait, but a neighbor sometimes throws out cold, leftover French fries. Carp come up and eat them from the surface.
As kids, we'd make plain oatmeal, a little thicker than normal, put it on a hook and let it dry in the sun. I hadn't tried it since I was about 12, but we did pretty good with it.

Enough of this idle chit-chat. This ain't no retirement home. EVERYONE! Get back to your oars. The Captain wants to waterski.
