Hi all,

Do carps have different preferences for bait depending on location?

I'm from Canada and caught my first carp a few weeks ago and since then I've been watching a lot of videos on the British method of carp fishing.

Excited to try the British method out, I put together a method feeder and hair rig with a homemade boilie to try out at the lake last night.

Zero bites.

I ended up getting a carp on a pickerel rig with a nightcrawler. This is the same rig I used when I caught my first carp.

I'm curious as to why the boilie didn't attract any bites? It was made of wheaties, strawberry jello powder, creamed corn, whole wheat flour and eggs. .

Should I try the method feeding technique again or is it likely the carp around here prefer nightcrawlers over boilies?

Thanks!
