CARP GO CRAZY!
Ok, here we go. You want to make carp go crazy in the summer? This recipe has worked on every body of water I have ever fished on. I usually save this for the spots where I have seen a big carp, because it is a little time consuming.
Take a package of cherry Kool-Aid, and cherry Jello. Make the Jello just like the directions say. Add the cherry Kool-Aid to the Jello mix. Now comes the most important step. Add a couple spoonfuls of vanilla extract (the more the merrier).
Put this mixture in the refrigerator for several hours until it looks like Jello should. Cut the finished Jello into square chunks about the size of a quarter. Go to your hardware store and buy a piece of black mesh screen(like what you put in your house windows. This is very inexpensive and 1 piece can last for several years. Then cut a circle from the mesh about 2 inches in diameter. Stick the jello in the center and cover it with the sides. Take a piece of fishing line and sew the sides of the net together. You should get a nice ball of Jello.
Stick your hook through the center and HOLD ON!!!!! I have tried several of the carp formulas and this one is by far the best. I learned the hard way when by buddy out fished me 20 to 2 standing right next to me!

Ive found my best luck for carp on an insect dough bait made up of Bee jay catfish bait with crickets, meal worm and night crawlers mixed into it. also if you want to get a carp to bite the easiest way is to get them in a feeding frenzy by using cheap dry cat food as chum. if theres tons like you said where you fish it will be a snap to get them in a frenzy with dry cat food.

carp wont touch crayfish or crawfish, carp are pretty much a vegetarian specie but they will eat insects and the occassional night crawler.

I mean flukes do happen like my 111 lbs spoonbill I caught on 20 lbs tackle with a nightcrawler fishing for channel cats in the Warsaw tributary back in missouri. even after that I dont recommend night crawlers as spoonbill bait LOL.
