I have heard that trout cannot digest corn, so their "guts" get plugged up with it if they are stealing bait and injestinhg much of it. I do not know if this is fact but I have stopped using corn because of it.

Worm sure works good. After all I believe that is the reason GOD made worms, for fishing. I usually remove the skin and fat from chicken before cooking. I cut little strips of chicken skin with fat on it if possible and use it for bait for all types of fishing and fish. It stays on a hook really well and I belive it has a scent or flavor tha most fish like.

Antler Man you should have stuck around and caught some Whites and Pike with me. Got a 14.5 pounder at Gull today and iced 3 other smaller ones. Had one line break prior to the big one i got. It had some meat to it i could tell right away.

Default shrimp for trout

When using shrimp for trout, do you use cooked or uncooked?

The shrimp on those black rings you can buy is what we use but I am sure the uncooked stuff works well too.

X2 - Usually buy a couple at the start of the season and then freeze them in baggies that would be suitable for a day on the ice.
