The Switch to Sweet Corn


Fishing has been tough, very tough. Hey, it's August in RI. It's way too hot and the fish are simply not feeding like they were earlier in the year. Up until this week I had been using maize because it is much more durable than sweet corn and with a lot of turtles, sunfish and horned pout around, it was a better choice. Sun turtles, in particular, are very clever about stealing the bait without even twitching the rod tip. But, the maize was not working with the carp.
So, I went back to using sweet corn and taking my chances with the turtles. I'm not killing the fish, but I am catching one or two on just about every outing. I am using carpquila and pineapple flavors as well as unflavored sweet corn. All have produced about the same results.
