• Feed corn is a staple for our trips lately, though it was clearly out performed number wise by a cat food/grits/cream corn mix method-pack bait.
  
  The biggest fish of the session however was taken along the far left margins, with 2 pieces of feed corn on a sliding hair rig, with a size 6 hook.
• Feed corn and Dat food boilies have become my baits of choice as well as staples in any trip.
  
  Molasses and fishy flavors seem to still work well, though strawberry has been more and more effective.
  
  
• Again corn, white bread work well..I make much of my own dough bait or order some mixes through Wacker Baits
• Canned sweet corn, White bread work well here as well as all manner of dough baits and boilies.
