When fishing for carp in winter i always tend to fish boilies. Particle baits such as peanuts , tiger nuts and maples tend to lose their effectiveness possibly due the viscosity of the attractive oils these nuts contain (as the temperature decreases they thicken considerably). Also particles seem to work better in bulk. When i am winter carp fishing i use little or no free offerings. All the successful winter carp anglers i know use very little bait. I feel the carp dont feed as hard in winter as in summer. The type of boilies i would use would be a spice bait with a nice spice flavour. The choice of attractors and flavours are very critical in winter. The fish feed inducing oils are prime example , in summer they are a fantastic attractor but as the temperature drops they increase their viscosity and end up going solid . Most spice flavours are made up of natural aromatic spice oils and esters which tend to be somewhat resistant to solidifying to some degree. There polarity makes them mix well with water. Adding a few powdered spices (few pinches) to the boilie mix can only help its effectiveness.

last summer i caught a 26, 22.5 and a 24 inch w/ nothing but stuff you find in your cupboard.
mix:
canned corn (save the water f/ the can and 1/2 of the corn to make 2nd half)
pancake syrup
flour
egg
vanilla
keep adding the flour to get the right consistency so it's sticky but firm enough it'll stay on your hook. use the left over corn water and corn and mix w/ a little syrup... throw that in the water where you'll be fishing to "bring 'em in" they hit the dough pretty good but you gotta be good to snag 'em or they'll strip you of the bait. my b/f even caught prob a 30inch catfish w/ them but it snapped the line before we got it in to get an exact measure

hot dogs, or colby cheese, truthfully carp is easy to catch, most people throw em back cause its a ghetto fish, too boney.
