Chumming works well if done right. I invested in a set of meat punches- they cut a round dot of meat out of hot dogs and lunch meat. The punch makes a round coin of meat, slightly smaller than a dime. Some of these you can send into the water - a few you put on the hook.
This is a popular, cheap way to fish in England and is easy. Everything will eat meat and corn because of its size and color also its falling action.
With a small hook - these are great baits.

Hot dogs and bacon work well for me. You can get some great action from a small piece of bacon. :)

One item I am adding to my tackle box this Spring is an X-acto knife.
If you thinly slice that bacon on a size 14 or 16 hook - you will have something that will attract their eye!
Yesterday I caught my biggest bull bluegill and largest channel catfish on the tiniest bait. Sometimes going micro puts you into big fish...
I'm tellin' ya - they eat tiny, tiny stuff all day long. Bacon has good oils and will stay on a small hook very well also.

The water was a sweet 68 degrees - it is a cooling plant discharge lake. Besides having three eyes- these fish are on a different clock for certain.

Too funny. We used to use the last of dogs from dinner in the evenings growning up. Money was ALWAYS tight then and the gills loved the dogs. Used Boiled dogs, at least the skins. The skin stayed on the hooks and like I said the gills loved it.

I've heard of a corn fry - but a corn fly? Is that a corn fly nymph?
Nice - I am a huge fan of the corn as well - everything eats it.
Green Giant Niblets unsalted I was told. They take great care in given you plump whole cornels... corn for carps - dogs for channel cats.
I have been fishing with something called a meat punch. It knocks out a little 1/2 dime-sized coin of meet from lunch meat. That fishes pretty well as an alternative bait with hot dog or bologna.

Genius! That is something. I have seen a plastic, floating artificial corn as well.
Carp congregate where people feed in lunch stuff- I bet this works very well.

Ditto, but they shut up after going with or eating the results.
Aw shucks there I go making a fool out of myself on line again. Sorry about the whole rooked thing, I saw that was on a different post of one of your pics Zach. I'm a little paranoid about Google, so thats where that came from. I've gotta work on my…
thats a big ole chinqupin
My stomach usually doesn't give the scales enough time to join in on the action though.
They are a very different fish I'll say that. The best I have figured so far is that they like the bottom and live bait, not to say that they wont strike an artificial, it takes some real skill though from what I can gather and I really admire those…
I was kind of worried about that, but I have seen some variations of Hybrids look this way, or at least that is what was posted on the internet.
We always called these black pearch.
To be honest I do not think the Green Sunfish have the yellow bel…
I am still trying to figure out how to fish for Redear. I have not had much luck with them. The seem to be pretty smart.
Do you have tricks you would like to share on catching these guys?
Did you happen to get the weight of any of these fish?
They fight just like a big bluegill. I am told you can eat them but haven't tried yet. The ones we caught today went to a friend who has a pet shop. I wouldn't mind trying them though. They are local to south Texas and I would imagine that they eat…
Oops sorry Zach I forgot about need a trout stamp on your license.
Bank access has improved since they began stocking trout back in the late 90's. As of now State regs require a trout license to fish it during the season ($10). If you plan to launch a boat you will need a permit. Not sure about other options as far…
About the only time you can fish Pawhuska from the bank is when they drop the lake for trout season. There is no cost to fish it.
I know, I will have to try it out this fall when the temps drop a bit. Can you fish it from the bank at all, and is there a cost to fish it?
Oh brother, Zach living in Northeast Oklahoma and having not fished this lake before......Let me tell you.
A spring fed 90 Acres of Heaven.
The wildlife department comes in and stocks trout every other week from November until the end of March (bl…
Cedric you are truly gifted to be capable of putting things like this into the words they way that you do. I've been reading your posts, you have just gained a huge fan. Cant wait to hear more from you!
I have yet to fish lake Pawhuska, is it a nice lake? Did they stock everything in it?
So how do they fight and can you eat them?
almost has a knot head
