Back in the Spring, when I was initially struggling to catch a carp, I tried several different ways to catch them. In addition to the corn and dough balls, I experimented with a European method of carp fishing called "boilies." Boilies are cooked dough balls that need to be fished on something called a "hair rig." I ordered everything that I needed from http://www.psfishing.com/ and decided to give it a shot.
Ultimately, I think the cold water that I was fishing in back in March had more to do with my not catching fish at first. This is mostly likely what I'm dealing with now. Nevertheless, I thought that since corn has not produced a fish for me in weeks, that maybe I should try something different.
So I broke out the boilies.
Once again, there was no carp to be had, but since I've had people inquire as to how these things are rigged, Lindsay took a video of me showing how it's done.
Hope you enjoyed it, or even better, learned from it.
