• Again corn, white bread work well..I make much of my own dough bait or order some mixes through Wacker Baits
• scented maize and corn
• Many things keep coming along for the ride. Sweet corn flavored various ways,
  Feed corn heavy on molasses,
  Dat food milk based with heavy seed/forage
  
• Dat food, feed corn were used. Dat food produced some but the real hitter of the day was a grits based pack bait ( see the bait tutorial in the forums or on www.blackstonecarp.com)
• Same as the other locations. Maple peas worked well for me here, corn, bread, boilies of various flavors.
• 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.
  
  
• 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.
• Sweet corn
