get yourself 4 pints of maggots and just fish your top 3.
Start an inch off bottom and work your way up in the water, fishing double maggot on the hook and feeding 8/10 maggots every 20 seconds.
You will be doing a wieght of the smaller carp but you’ll be suprised as to how many bigger carp move in.
4 pints of maggots will cost you about 7 quid, but compare that to the price of pellets, expanders, corn, paste etc its probably cheaper.
If the fish are in a feeding mood you’ll have a bite a chuck, if you are struggling on maggots the chances are all other baits wont work either.
good luck
