[cool]Didja hear about the guy who became a baker because he kneaded the dough? (BOO)
As you already know, you can catch a lot of fish on a piece of wadded up bread. I used to fish all day on a small ball of flour and water dough that my mother would make for me before I walked down to the creek near our house. I caught everything from sucker and chub minnows on it...to three pound rainbows.
One of the easiest and very effective baits for carp is saltine crackers, just chewed enough to moisten them so that you can put a ball on the hook. After that, things can get pretty exotic...using all kinds of breakfast cereals, flours, meals, etc. Some use flavorings from the kitchen cabinets. Others incorporate some wild flavorings. Some are best used uncooked. Others hold up better if cooked a bit. The British have a whole line of dough baits they call "boilies".
From my archives on websites, I just happen to have a few links to sites where they provide recipes for many different kinds of baits...for carp, cats, trout and you name it. If you need/knead more dough, check these out.
