15 Carp Bait Recipes

I have put together this collection of fifteen carp fishing bait recipes. I bought a whole collection of
papers on carp fishing under the agreement that I would keep them to myself for a few years (so the
owner could continue to sell them) and then after a period I was free to resell them myself. I don't
really want to go through the trouble off selling them myself so I am currently putting them into ebooks
and distributing them on a few different websites including a website dedicated to free ebooks for
sports and fitness Sports Training Ebooks

You can get more Carp fishing ebooks from the Free Carp Fishing Ebooks

Recipe #1
Skillet Creek Carp Doughbait Formula

Mix together 8 oz. Fine grated cheese and 2 pints plain flour. Add 5 drops oil of citronelle and enough
warm water to knead into a stiff dough. Roll into balls about half inch through, or a bit larger. Place in
the hot sun to dry. When fully dry, drop them into boiling water. Skim off when they float on top and
again place in the sun again to dry out. This makes a good bait for carp.

Recipe #2
Famous “Strawberry” Flavor Carp Dough Bait Formula-

Mix together one cup plain flour, two cups corn meal. Heat to boiling one pint water. Now turn the heat
down so water only simmers. Place in water one tablespoon vanilla flavoring, two tablespoons sugar,
one package strawberry gelatin. Be sure to stir all the time these are being added. Use a wooden spoon
or paddle. Dip the flour and corn meal onto top of the water. As bubbles burst through add a little more
of the dry (meal and flour) material, continuing until all the dry mixture has been absorbed. Keep
stirring a full two minutes. Remove from fire. Roll into a lump. Wrap in aluminum foil and place in the
refrigerator where it will keep cool but not freeze, until ready to go fishing. To use: pinch off pieces to
mold around and over the hook. Small pieces on a small hooks works best in carp fishing.

off the small pieces and roll into baits as you need them. Must be kept in a plastic bag sealed to keep it
from drying out. However, if you want a cooked dough bait, simple pull off small pieces and roll into
bait balls, drop into boiling water. They will be cooked when they rise to the top of the water and float,
so skim them out and drop into cold water. Rinse around a bit, then remove. Roll in corn meal dusted

Some of these recipes require ingredients that might not be had by most people, in fact I am not even
sure what all of these ingredients are. I have tried to keep most of these recipes out of my ebooks. But
if there is one here that requires something that you can't use then either use your head to think of a
similar substitute of try a different one. Or just visit my site and I will try to add more that are a little
easier to understand.
