goldfish?

[Giuga10]

What Dave said is actually wrong.

Goldfish and Carp are two different species who fall under two different genus'.

There is a pond near my house, in the same situation as the one you mention (may even be the same one, is it by an apartment?) and I have seen them live, dead, and caught. Goldfish and carp feed differently. Carp can take bigger baits due to their larger mouths. Whereas Goldfish are limited to smaller presentations.

Goldfish seem to like dough-like baits. Regular dough, a dough bait, etc.. work great for Goldfish. Bread on a hook works great also.

Goldfish feed in all columns of the water actively, bottom, mid water, and surface. Whereas Carp are predominately bottom feeders.

Try different things and see what works.

Good luck!
