I don't know why it wouldn't. We use hardheads, and other fish.

bloody cow liver I bet would work well. I remember when I was a volunteer at the redfish hatchery and had to make the "meals" for the reds in the tanks, cow liver was a big ingredient along with squid and mackeral.

Carp is very oily and carries quite a unique scent. I would think it would work pretty good.

I always figured that the gigantic goldfish with the googlie eyes and frilly fins would make the perfect amberjack baits.

Going to PINS next weekend and give the carp a try, if we have any luck I'll post a report. Thanks

Scientists say they have never seen such a fast mutation as the carp in Twin Butes and OC, if we dont get some rain soon this area is going to be a ghost town. Sad

I've used freshwater fish for bait when saltwater fishing with good results before. Gizzard shad for red snapper, had limits before anyone else even caught a fish.

Sharks eat redfish & carp look kinda like a redfish so why not try it.

Aren't those Black Salty live baits actually carp?
