Asian Carp for bait??

[catfish1409]

Hey guys i just went to check out my spot for this weekend and saw a lot of asian carp hangin around in the shallow parts of a little creek that splits off of the meremac ive heard of guys using them for bait but never tried it i know pretty much the only way to catch em is to snag em so i was wondering what kind of rig or how to set up my weights and hook for the best chance at snagging one and if i do, do you guys fillet them and then chunk up the fillet or something to use as bait? ive never had any experience using carp as catfish bait so im just lookin for some helpful tips! thanks alot guys

i have never used them but i think i will try it now

2/0 ot 10/0 trebles will work fine for em over a 2 ounce to 6 ounce bank sinker. YAo can cast for em where thick or power troll. We like to power troll the flats on the Gasconde I use 2 to 3 hooks gets interesting when you nail 2 even 3 10lb + bigheads on a 3 hooks snaggen rig.

I like to fillet them then cut into small pieces.

I agree with David. Because surprisingly It works very well for me. Also; it was tough, real bloody. So this may go as my second go to bait during the summer months.

I reccomend using an El Cheapo buck knife from wally world... they are very scaly with skin tough as leather. They will wreck a fillet knife in a minute. But you can't complain too much about free bait, right??
