JamesEDriver Posted August 9, 2015 Posted August 9, 2015 Im here to tell y'all my secret bait i use to catch monster carp and catfish and some nice sized Bluegill to! What you will need. 1.) Can of Cream Corn (any brand will work) 2.)All purpose flour (Again any brand will work) 3.Quaker instant outmeal (Flavored works best Peaches And Cream recomended) Just add the ingredents together where it forms a dough like concistincy Basicly Dough made with those ingredents Once you have that Mold to youre hook like youre carp bait and cast you're line out and theyll be biting! 3 Quote
Super User scaleface Posted August 9, 2015 Super User Posted August 9, 2015 About how much flour? I will give it a go. Quote
BASS fisherman Posted August 9, 2015 Posted August 9, 2015 About how much flour? I will give it a go. With the liquid from the corn and the dryness of the oatmeal packet(s), Id say probably right around a cup would work to start. Once you get the oatmeal and corn mixed just add the flour until it is a thick enough dough to mold onto the hook. Use a spoon to mix it rather than a wisk. your hand would work even better. I think I may try this as well. Going out again this Friday so hopefully I can catch a big ole carp! I'll report back if I do. Quote
MassBass Posted August 9, 2015 Posted August 9, 2015 Oatmeal itself is a proven carp bait. Have caught at least one on oatmeal many moons ago. The thing is its a whole process to rig it and cast it. Corn is just so much easier and efficient. Quote
BASS fisherman Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 I would absolutely agree on the corn. It is sooooo much easier than just about anything else you could use as bait. Before I go I usually open up a couple cans and dump into a plastic container with a lid. Then I double bag the container and it stays closed up and doesn't leak. If there is any left when I come home, I just throw it in the fridge. I also take a bucket with me and fill it with lake water and keep it near the corn so after I bait the hook I can rinse the sticky from the corn off my hands. Makes it easier than going down to the water to rinse your hands off. I still want to try it though. I think of it like you have all this corn out for the carp to eat, and here is this delictable morsel of doughy goodness just chillin in the midst of all this corn. It would be hard to resist. I do not think I would try it alone by itself. I almost always try atleast 2 baits to see what works best and then go with that half way through the outing. With this dough though I think it'd be better to still chum with corn and have baited hooks with corn, but also have a couple hooks rigged with the dough. If I find the dough is working better, Id switch over all my rigs to throw dough, but still lightly chum with corn. 1 Quote
masterbass Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 I'll give it a try down at the ohio river. SM fishing has been dismal there. Quote
