Thread: Corn for Bait

It's very underrated as a bait. I use it mostly for carp, but I got a ton of trout on it this summer. Bluegill and catfish love it, too.

It's the perfect size for gills. I usually put one or two kernels on a #12 or #14 fly hook. A small jig hook would work well, too.

I fish it under a float about 90% of the time. For carp, cats and trout, I fish it right on the bottom. For gills, I usually fish 6" to a foot off bottom. Occasionally, I will forego the float and just fish it with a weight on the bottom.
