They're rather picky eaters. If your bait isn't fresh, they won't touch it.
It has to be some sort of corn, grain, cheese kind of something.
In other parts of the world, they raise carp like we do hogs, chickens, and catfish.
Nobody seems to have a problem with catfish and the 'bottom feeder' concept.
But to fish for them, they seem to prefer the nastiest, most rotten and foul smelling mess you can get on a hook.
I'd have to pass on opossum.
A cousin told me once of coming across a dead sheep in their pasture.
As he went to pick it up and take it to be burned, 2 opossums crawled out.
I'd have a hard time eating one.
I have heard people say you're supposed to cage 'em up and feed them table scraps for several days
so they can 'purge' whatever nastiness they've recently eaten.
I've been told they're pretty good after you've drained off all the grease,
but so far, I haven't been hungry enough to eat one.
