    What fish shall I expect to catch if I use bread for bait?

    Community Answer

    You can catch many different species of fish with bread. Carp particularly like bread paste balls (around the size of a golf ball) but most non-predatory fish will eat it.

      Tips

      • Don't waste bread! Only try about 2 slices of bread the first time to see if your fish like the bread.

      • Bigger pieces of bread don't always mean bigger fish so don't make your pieces too large.

      • Wet bread works better than dry bread as it stays on the hook longer.
