Any carp fisherman here?

Dough balls and a heavy sinker. I have seen them caught on just about anything tho. Idk about the west coast but around here they usally like shallow still water you find them alot in ponds and at the edges of the lake. They are protected here you cant keep them you have to release them I have seen them as big as 30 lbs I think the state record Is 50 or something like that.
