Other Check Prices

• These are trout waters and by RI rules that means no chumming, no corn. So boilies, glugs and maple peas were on the menu. I had a few good hits on some homemade Scopex flavored boilies but no hook ups.
  
  The one I did manage to catch was on Maple peas, two on a short hair, with a 2 oz semi-fixed bolt rig.
• I had a variety of bait with me, however they were only striking a pack bait made of grits, corn juice and molasses plus some other flavoring.
  
  roughly 24 oz quick grits
  juice from one can of corn
  a good bit of molasses
  baby rice cereal to help fluff it out
  
  Place one or two corn pops on the hook and then pack it pretty good into golf ball sized lumps around your hook and pops.
  
• Chummed with feed corn/maple peas and a ground mix of oats/grits/bran/condensed milk/cream corn
  
  Hook bait was Feed corn and maple peas
• Pink Powerbait nuggets
• Powerbait
• porgy snagger
• Just bread balls
• Shiners, senkos, plastic salamander.
• Again the Dat food boilie line really worked well here. Shrimplies(shrimp) and gold( pineapple) performed above my expectations. Feed corn was of course also on the menu and produced a few good runs.
• Bait for carp: (which are the only fish I am coun ting for here)
  Chum the night before with a mix of Maize and oat/bran/grits method/ground bait
  
  Hook bait was maize on a hair with tutty-fruity or molasses glug, or maize or corn-pops on the hook with a oat/bran/grits pack bait
  
  Bait for sunnies/bluegills/etc:
  Meal worms, canned corn, bread
  
  Many were caught as part of the event but I did not keep a tally.
