Be very still and wait. You may have to wait for 10 or 15 minutes to get a bite. The carp are probably waiting and watching to see if it is a trick. Once they are comfortable they will start biting at the corn.

When you feel the tug on your line, quickly pull your rod straight up.

Don't let the line go slack. Keep tension on the line at all times. If you let the line slack the carp may spit out the hook.

After you have wrestled with the carp for a few minutes, he will get tired. Reel him in.
