i went to field farm (bicester/oxfordshire) £7 day ticket
and the best days fishing i have ever had.

i stuffed my feeder with drowned carp pellets put two maggots on(one red/one white) and after a while the fish started feeding on the carp pellets.

there was a huge cloud of carp and every cast i had a carp bite because im inexperienced (only 14) i didnthook them all i stayed for about 8 hours and caught well over 30 carp with my friend

comments on your favourite bait to catch carp would be great help

caugh my best ever carp on white maggots the other week young angler, but I am not a carp angler tho, jsut a pleaaure angler and one who has only started again after far too many years absence from the sport.

You are doing a great job of it, we need more youngsters like you and the two lads I was fising next too on saturday.

Keep it up.

And carp feed, they are lake pigs, they will eat anything and everything to my knowledge. So I would say try them all, if not, ask an angler on the pond what they think is best, they should give you a few pointers.

All the best young 'un hope you catch some big carp soon
