Question
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.

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.
