I went to Bradley yesterday to try and catch some carp. I know, it's not the noblest fish, but they're big and I need crab bait. I think the best spot for them is near the intake pipe over by John's pond. There is a patch of lilies that usually has a school of carp in it.

I spread out corn for chum. Lots of people think chumming is illegal, but if you read the regs you'll see that it doesn't apply to food fish like carp. Used corn for the hookbait too.

During the three hours I fished I got 5 bites and only landed one fish. 3 broke off the 8 lb monofilament, one bent the hook back, and one just got off.
