  • This month I'm down in Reading fishing for big carp at Long Lake whilst using one of the forgotten favourites for bait, sweetcorn. I talk you through the methods and types of sweetcorn I use, the hookbaits I fish over the top, and show you some recent catches of big carp I've made using this fantastic bait. There's plenty of playing action, including a couple of big UK commons, the best of which went 39lb 6oz. All included is a brief look at Avid Carp's newly released EXO 2 Bivvy System.

    As a angler that fishes for carp in the US corn and tiger nuts are my favorite baits to use. You cant go wrong with the basics.

    A little trick you might want to look at with dry maize is to put it in some water with a bit of hydrated lime and cook it, the strong alkaline breaks down the protein bonds of the corn and makes it way more soluble in a process called nixtamalization. This is the process that americans use to prepare maize for the dish known as grits (sort of a corn porridge) and it has a range of nutrients benefits

    Really enjoyed that. I was a member of Long Lake quite a few years back and sweetcorn was my go to bait- the first time i used it i caught 11 fish in ten nights! When i first joined, the biggest fish eas not even twenty five pounds...

    I use sweetcorn as my primary bait 90% of the time and catch! There are times when I will use a boilie or, currently, experimenting with waffters, but a pop up fake corn on a hair is still my go to!

    Not in most waters that the average guy fishes that are mixed fisheries with a head of bream in em! 10-20 bream in a night might just dent your enthusiasm for corn😂
