wow, lesson learnt. I know with even small fish heads it is a pain getting them out, so can just imagine what you just went through
But gotta to try to see how things work out.
Well that was a freaken night mare
Here's some stuff I learnt about using carp for maggots
There is a heap of moisture in a carp as it breaks down - so you would either need a bucket with a drain to let it out - or about 10 times the newspaper I used
If you dont use enough newspaper it will break down and turn into a sludge - a maggot infused sludge that is very difficult to pick maggots out of.
Also dont use the head - they just burrow in and hang on when you are trying to shake them out
End result was a hell of alot of mucking around and I lost 2/3rds of the maggots
