Some carp fishermen prefer to flavor their own corn rather than purchase it that way. If you have read the article below, you know how to prepare field corn. When the corn is hot and finished boiling, that is when I will add my flavoring. Take the hot corn with a spoon and put it in a jar (plastic or glass with a cover). Once in the jar, pour the flavoring in, filling the jar with liquid flavoring. Then, close the cover.
One of the hottest flavors I have used in the last month is pineapple Skyy vodka. Just buy a nip and add it to your jar of boiled field corn and let it sit for a day or two. I have also had good luck in the past flavoring with ginger brandy, molasses, pineapple juice, vanilla extract, banana extract, and liquefied mulberries (done in blender). The possibilities here are endless. Of course, if you don't want to bother with creating your own flavored corn, you can always buy from The Bait Stop, a company that specializes in flavored corn and other baits.
One note of caution here about flavoring. Sometimes flavoring can make a difference (especially in spring and fall) and can really turn on the carp. However, flavored corn can also have the opposite effect, turning them off. This is why many fishermen prefer using unflavored corn, a good choice that always seems to catch. But many, like myself, are always experimenting, looking for that special flavor that carp just can't resist!

fyi goya pineapple soda seems to keep the scent longer than straight pineapple juice and unlike pineapple vodka it is available to all ages. yes the carp on biting it
ReplyDeletePineapple is a very good flavor. Good point about the alcohol, but be aware that alcohol in a mix does seem to add some "buzz"to it that the carp just love.
