My grandson Logan has a secret carp method. He puts canned corn on a treble hook with no weight & throws it out on the bottom & then throws hand fulls of corn where it lands. The carp come to get the corn & then they pickup his bait.
He is going to The Georgian Bay Bass Hole for the first time this year 2010 being we did not make it in 2009.
I think the fish in the bay are in big trouble.
This kid is very confident & acts just like the cocky carpers in UK.
I think it’s great your Grandson is fishing and having fun doing it. However, it’s cruel and unceccessary to use a treble hook. A regular ‘J” hook will work fine and cause less damage to the soft mouth of a carp. Treble hooks are suitable for hard mouted fish like pike,bass, ect.
