I've fished Michigan lakes since I was six, and in this one I show you the $2 can of corn an old-timer put in my hands when I was ten, and the seven steps that turned it into forty bluegill in one June morning.
In this video:
One kernel, a size 8 or 10 hook, and a bobber that barely floats (and why a bluegill spits anything bigger)
How to find a spawning colony from the bank, and the hour of the morning that matters
Why a June bluegill grabs corn when he is not hungry at all
The corn-kills-trout myth against Pennsylvania's own hatchery test and Utah's two-year trial
Where dumping the can is illegal, and why the corn stays in the jar
The bait counter sells what dies in a hot truck. The grocery aisle sells a can that keeps all winter for 76 cents.
As always: check your state's fishing regulations, they differ everywhere. Chumming is illegal on Michigan's designated trout streams and statewide in several states, and Rhode Island bans corn on its trout waters. Keep what you'll eat, put the big males back, and look up your lake in your state's eat safe fish guide.
