Spring (45–55°F)
- High solubility
- Squid + krill
- Hydrolysed protein
- Softer baits
- Smaller sizes
Carp feed cautiously. Speed matters.
Summer (65–80°F)
- Full fishmeal bases
- Oily meals OK
- Harder boilies
- Larger baiting campaigns
Nutrition wins here.
Fall (55–65°F)
Transition period.
Start rich, gradually shift toward soluble as temps drop.
Storage Matters
Fishmeal oxidises.
Store dry meals cool and sealed.
Freeze boilies.
Refrigerate oils.
Bad bait smells bad and fishes worse.
Final Thoughts
Marine ingredients align perfectly with Michigan carp feeding behaviour.
Used properly, they give you:
- Attraction
- Nutrition
- Repeat feeding
- Bigger fish
Start simple.
Refine slowly.
Let the carp tell you what works.
