After the corn has fermented or soured (it will smell), scatter the corn in the water in the same place you are going to fish several days prior to fishing the area. Cover the corn with water and set the bucket in direct sunlight for 3-4 days. To prepare the feed corn for baiting, fill a bucket about ½ full with feed corn. Make sure the area you bait is free of brush or other obstacles to avoid getting snagged when fighting a fish.įeed corn is cheaper than canned corn, but you need to soak it in water for several days before using it to allow it to ferment. You can bait a site by throwing the contents of five to 10 cans of corn into the water about 10 to 20 feet from shore.
Using corn for bait is effective, clean and inexpensive. The most effective method of catching grass carp on rod and reel is to bait an area and fish. Grass carp are spectacular fighters and can be very difficult to land. They are commonly seen feeding in shallow coves and are easily spooked by movement on shore. They are very cautious and reclusive fish, preferring to feed unobserved and undisturbed. Grass carp can be very difficult to catch on a pole and line. If aquatic vegetation falls below this recommended level, you may need to reduce the number of grass carp in the lake. Ideally, a pond or lake should have 15-20% coverage of rooted aquatic vegetation. In short, if good fishing is your goal, the plants in your pond should be managed, not eliminated. Plants keep the water oxygenated, provide food, cover and nesting sites, and stabilize the shoreline and bottom. Aquatic plants are the basis of the food chain in lakes and ponds and are important in maintaining a healthy fishery. Although grass carp can provide an excellent method of aquatic weed control, they are commonly over stocked in lakes and ponds leaving little or no vegetation in the entire body of water.
