I was talking to a hut operator he said some folks used corn (yep the corn story) to chum the bottom for white fish. And they don't recommend it cause they said it was hard for white fish to digest it. So they recommend boiled maccaroni or barley and they said it works. Ahh I tried it but nothing happened. This was last year. dsn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steverowbotham Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 I've heard of chumming with it, but never using it as bait. When I was 5 or 6 years old, I used to fish a small pond on the back of my grandparents property, there was a creek that ran through the pond and eventually into the Saugeen River. This pond was full of brook trout and the occasional brown. I used to catch lots of trout, and of course chub too, using a piece of bacon or hotdog on a hook.
