With so much fishing on offer why do you want to target carp? I'm sure plenty of people have caught unwanted carp there so the I would imagine some worms on the bottom would do the trick

Yep, worms & corn on the same hook
You might then pick up something edible

Make a burly with tuna oil sweet corn & bread crumbs.
Then just fish in the burly area with some corn, bread & worms.
I have caught up to 30 carp in a 3 hour session once on a good day.

if I'm going to drive 2.5 hours, I probably want to target something tastier. However, hats off to those who take up arms in the war against carp.
