Catching carp on potatoes boiled in plain water The simplest and most popular way of catching carp for potatoes is using boiled tubers. Potatoes should be cooked until it begins to poke a match, then immediately pulled out of the water and spread on a plank to make the tubers cool and do not soften from a long stay in the water. It is important to achieve a golden mean so that the potato does not fall apart, but it is not too hard, otherwise it will crumble when cast, or the fish will not be able to eat it elementary. Welded tubers are cut into small cubes, or pieces of a different shape. For this, it is convenient to use a tube or a syringe with a cut-off bottom. Finished pieces are planted by analogy with boilies. For greater efficiency, polystyrene balls are placed between pieces of potatoes, this allows the bait not to sink in the silt and is at a certain distance from the bottom.

In the mashed potatoes you can add honey instead of sugar. You can also experiment with different flavors.

Fried potatoes There is an opinion that fish from the family of carp are good for fried potatoes, as well as for chips made at home.
