Same as any carp try bread, corn, dough balls,worms they are not as easy to catch as it would seem. They will drop the bait if they feel the weight. Use a sliding weight so the weight will slide up the line and the fish will not feel it.

Hair rig is an option also thread corn on a peice of fishing line 5 to 10 kernals and attach line to the hook, the carp will eat the corn and the hook will follow. I would use small circle hooks to keep from gut hooking the fish with this technique.

Bait the area with the bait you intend to use. If corn toss or use a sling shot and surround you fishing area to attract them, great sense of smell...
