Cheap Chum and Bait

Here's how most of us veterans get our corn for prebaiting a spot. Go to any feed store like an Agways and purchase whole kernel corn by the fifty pound bag. You can even buy this stuff at Bass Pro where it is sold as deer corn. It costs about $10.
This corn is dry and hard. Here is how to prepare it. Place a good amount in a large pot. Fill the pot with water and let it sit overnight with the corn soaking. In the morning boil for exactly 35 minutes. Take it off the burner and let it sit for a while and the corn will really soak up the water.
Next, I like to package my corn in plastic containers or zip lock bags. I keep it in the fridge until I am ready to use it.
If you want to flavor your own corn, use this prepared bait. Place it in a jar and add your flavoring. Such flavors as banana extract, anise, vanilla, pineapple Skyy vodka (nip), whiskey and tequilla all work well. Let it sit for a day or two and it is ready to go.
