Well done Dave, sounds like you were kept busy

To start off, I'll admit that I have no clue what sweet corn is. I only assume it is a corn product, like what people eat. If it is, I am surprised that you were able to catch anything with it. I recently tried corn for the first time, and the fish seem to know the difference between corn on a hook, and corn on top of the water. They were biting too, as I caught 10 of them with nightcrawlers.

Well done indeed!

hi akuyep good old jolly green giant sweetcorn

great bait for tench and carp
either hair rigged or straight on hook

guess about 2nd or 3rd most popular bait after maggot or worm(night crawlers)

I think you guys may call it "canned corn" or "creamed corn"

Yup, it's canned corn here. Guess the fish I was going after were smart. I had thrown some on the surface to see if it was the bait aftert ehy all but gauked at it and sure enough they took it. I used Del Monte brand- bcause that was on sale (29 cents).
