[#0000FF]I used to leave the skin on carp meat too. Two things caused me to skin the fillets and fish without the skin. First, scaling a carp is like root canal work without novocain. Scales everywhere...forever. Second, you don't need to leave the skin on to keep the bait on the hook. Carp meat is tough and you often get better hooksets with skinless carp.[/#0000FF]

[#0000FF]Attaching a pictorial writeup I put together on carp cutting and freezing. The pieces pictured are more for "average" size cats. Most of us who try to focus on bigger cats usually end up using larger baits. But having pre-cut bait strips kinda keeps down the mess on a trip and makes life easier.
