Title: Coarse bait
Post by: Jelly_ on April 06, 2023, 04:28:05 PM
Hey!, I have some questions regarding coarse fishing:
1) does corn also work for peamouth and pikeminnows? I have a bunch of leftover canned corn from carp fishing and i was wondering if any other species would be interested in corn.
2) would peanut butter work better compared to shrimp paste?
3) how much water should be added if i were to use only a cup of flour?

corn may be too big for the average size fish in the tidal fraser, peanut butter would work much better than shrimp for course fish ( one of Rodney's favourites, from his course fishing articles) and in terms of water and a handful and then use small amounts from a plastic soda bottle cap is a good amount to add bit by bit until its a good feel. not sticky to your hands.

also in the muddy tidal fraser scent is very important, that's why scented dough works well and same for dew worms
