I was wondering what kind of carp are in the Thames River in london so I know. I was reading my 2010 ontario fishing guide and it says to destroy grass carp, and a few other species.

How I found out about chumming the water( with bread) is by losing so many of my chunks of bread while reeling in or freeing snags. So now I just smoosh some bread around pebbles and chuck em in the water and sooner or later the carp show up. then go with three heavy split shots and a good clump of bread and it works for me. the other day me and a bud of mine got three decent sized carp in about 20 minutes. thats a workout. As far as british methods go i find it alot of work when bread seems to work fine. ive got a couple good spots where its pretty much a sure thing.   Yea I am working it on the bottom.

I've put together some of the tastiest smelling chums one could imagine.  And one drunken night I made boilies that smelled so tastey that I had to eat one.  It didn't taste as tastey as it smelled. Ha.  No luck on them though. I have tried corn once or twice, no luck yet. I've even gone so far as to score some British style method feeders and shotgun feeders that I have yet to use. But I'm planning big for this summer. londoner

I use bread all the way and hang on for the ride. typically a 5-15min fight reeling one in properly(without ripping its face apart). bread is tricky because it is a pain to cast but ive developed a method of squeezing it on tight and i could get my line pretty far out. just sit and wait, bread is usually hard to cast the second time, but its not a bad thing losing your bread in the water. it seems to me it is only after chumming the water for about an hour that the carp really start bitting good.
