I see canned corn mentioned now and again and was wondering if anyone considers this a viable bait.
Thanks.

I've used it here for fishing for stocked Trout and they hit it,never tried it on Crappie though.
as a kid once I stringed it up on fishing line with a needle like a necklace and weaved it through a fish basket and through in river and let it stay over night and the next day I had two crappie in it. but never fished with it other than for trout.
great bait for carp. throw a handful out in area where you fish then put some on small hook and throw in same area, wont be long and HOLD ON.
Carp and Catfish love it. The Crappie that I catch love soft plastics tipped with a Crappie nibble or a nice 1.5 inch minnow.
Yup! Good carp bait. And carp makes good rose fertilizer.
Bream like it. Occasionally crappie, warmouth, catfish, and drum too. Never got a carp though. Good cheap pacifier bait for whiny grandkids that want touch worms or crickets.
Don't tell anyone but on our trout waters makes great chum bait for Trout.!!!! Cannot use in the artificial bait area!!!
My #1 carp bait. As others have noted, it will also take trout, bream and catfish.
It's used extensively in Europe, and you can buy loads of different flavors:
Pescaviva: sweetcorn sport fishing baits
Cool, I'll bring some along next time and try it out. Thanks.
A lot of pay lakes and clubs won't let you use it. Say the fish can't digest it , they get bloated and die. Especially trout!!!
Corn bloats me too, but it ain't killed me yet.
i like me sum corn
You can bait a hole with it by just punching some holes in a can with a screwdriver....tie a string on it and throw it in...pull it in when you are done. I never used it for crappie though. When I was younger I worked at a grainery on the Mississippi. The belt that carried the grain out to the barges would lose some grain especially when it was real windy. We usually had a flat top barge tied off to the pilings to move the grain barge out deep enough to load it to 9ft. We would sweep the grain off into the water and then fish at lunch and after work. Would just waylay the catfish. Never saw any belly up from eating too much corn,wheat or milo.
I've only used it in streams or at Laurel Lake for Trout. A crawler tipped with several kernels works well in deep water at Laurel.
Blue gills love it, 1/64th jig with a couple of corn kernals.
Used to fish for carp way back when as kid .......best ever bait choice for them . Managed a few catfish sometimes as well with it . And a few trout trips here and there as well .......Pennsylvania was were I used it
