I was at a walleye tourny. For the area you will be fishing this weekend a feeder is going to be tough because the bottom is very very muddy and everything will sink down making it tougher to register a good bite unless you set up a bolt rig. I'd suggest a pop up with about a 6-8 inch lead fished over your chum, the idea of the bolt rig opposed to the feeder is that the carp will hook itself but with your feeder it may not be heavy enough and you will probally just have the carp drop the bait. If it was me fishing there I'd bring a couple decent steelhead or salmon style rods in 10-13 foot length and fish with a float suspended over your chum. Just make sure to find bottom where you plan on baiting and keep your bait about 3 inches from bottom I'd also try fishing small worms with one kernel of corn on the hook. If you choose to fish bottom then go light so you don't lose your bait in the mud just a plain splitshot and hook will work and if you can keep a piece of breaqd on the hook you will be golden. Try and talk with Andrew he will help you out also, maybe I will see you at our next match it's at NET resort on August 9th. Good Luck
