why then use complicated rigs and expensive baits? When I came
home from my first trip, I went back to my carping beginnings and

fished a lot with particle baits, especially maize and corn, and
other cheap baits...and I did well. I also tried to fish as
simply as possible for the mostly wild fish and the results spoke
for themselves.

On subsequent trips, I successfully fished for the wild, powerful

carp at the St. Lawrence, some huge lakes in Ontario near the
Toronto area, and some nice flowing waters in the Kavartha
system. I did not catch fish over 35lbs, but got some nice

whackers over 20lbs and I enjoyed this fishing very much. We
mostly went to a feed store and bought cheap stuff, and I used
some additives which I brought from Europe with good success (now
everything is available in the states). I think my match fishing
days helped me to make some attractive mixes for the feeder and
my friend, Fritz Vatter, and his guys ordered a lot of stuff each
time we met, both in Germany and abroad.
Wish I was here
