What fish can you catch on sweet corn?
by
Naturally yellow (or occasionally red) in colour, sweetcorn’s brightness and uniform size makes it easy for fish to identify on the dark bed of the water. Sweetcorn is one of the top baits for carp, barbel, bream, tench and sometimes big roach, although most species would take it as a bait.
Corn and corn derivatives have not been used extensively in salmon feeds, as corn has a low protein content, high starch content, and unbalanced amino acid profile. But it is also cheap and plentiful and can be upgraded to produce a protein-dense, highly digestible feed ingredient suitable for salmon.

What’s the best bait for carp?
As above, Sweet corn and bread are two of the best baits to use for carp but nightcrawlers (earthworms) are excellent as well.

What do carp like to eat the most?
They favor insects, aquatic worms, crustaceans, and mollusks, but also consume algae and other plant matter. Due to this diverse diet, a variety of carp baits trip their triggers, from natural offerings to homemade doughbaits and mass-produced softbaits, dips, boilies, and such.
Snails, bloodworm and the huge range of other tiny invertebrates that the carp may feed upon will all release free amino acids and smells into the water column as they go about their lives. These amino acids and smells will then act like huge flashing signs to the carp drawing them in towards the grub!

What Colour attracts carp?
Also, remember fish looking up (surface feeding and zigs). Often looking up through clear water at a light sky background; hence why a black hookbait is often successful. As shown above, red is also very effective in shallow water and is of course another popular zig hookbait colour, but how about trying orange too.
