Bread + Vanilla = Carp Attractor?

Before you laugh, carp are completely edible when prepared properly. Just de bone, mince the meat, combine it with corn flour and a binder like an egg and make hush puppies. That said, in a SHTF situation with a low food supply, I will be more concerned with calories and nutrition than taste.

I read an article archived online by the local newspaper about a father/son team that fish off the docks at a local lake. They claim that spearing a piece of an old roll or hoagie bun on a hook and then dousing it with imitation vanilla flavoring creates an irresistible bait for carp.

Has anyone else heard of this sort of bait? Do you think it would work with a plastic gummy worm? I would try it out but the water is too cold this time of year for the fish to hang out at the docks.

Let's block ads! (Why?)
