- Does corn work better for trout fishing than powerbait? As a beginner when it comes to trout fishing, I want to find out. After waiting for the river water to recede, i get to trout fishing with the corn. I manage to hook into three trout but only land two of them. One of the trout is a nice sized brown trout! I made it a point to not try the powerbait this trip and it still worked out. I caught what is probably my biggest brown trout to date. Unfortunately it jumped out of my hands before I could measure it. Can beginners catch trout on corn instead of powerbait? Yes! Does it work better? I am still not sure.

Who else likes corn?
Realistic Fishing #cornhub
Gonna have to try it, I've used it for carp and worked great
I grew up fishing for trout on corn. It may have been because I could only afford the hook and had corn in the garden, but always had good luck. Another great video. 👍
You have the greatest intro ever
Its very "realistic"
Who else would rather be out trout fishing than at work? *... As i sit on my lunch break*
Get back to work Josh, this is your manager
@@netninja8981 lol
Lol ig I'm lucky enough to work next to a lake and a stream with trout. I go afterwork alot
In my experience literally nothing works ever, but okay.
Same here :(
Debbie downers :(
Have you tried unplugging the pond and plugging it back in?
@@dylant4737 yup but i think it was bath tub
Hey bro, it's not about the fish you catch, it's about the beers you drank along the way. Or things you smoked whatever is clever
I like your videos because you present fishing the way it truly is for the average person who likes to fish, the bloopers, the blunders and everything in between........ Keep it Realistic.
lol it only works for a stocked trout ...
Well there's my problem, I was leaving it on the cob... LOL
😅 too big for the fish to eat
@@RealisticFishing Never. Bigger the bait, bigger the fish, lol.
Looked hot AF with your camera fogging up lol....on another note, I like corn...
Creamed corn or whole kernel?
Whole kernel
@@RealisticFishing corn on the cob
What up lojo?
LOJO's here?? Whole kernel canned corn (the kind you can get for $0.50 at Walmart 🤙); great for trout, common carp, panfish, and even the occasional channel cat//baby bass/grass carp! 🌽
All my memories of going fishing with my dad as a child.....There was always a can of corn.
That suspiciously looks like KFC corn 😂😂😂
Colonel's secret recipe!
The reply you made still makes me laugh
Dylan Thompson
I noticed that too, right off the bat!
Now I'm hungry...
Haha, trouts must have said something like " where are those georgia atlantas mash potatoes now"
When I go trout fishing, I cheat, I use one power egg and a couple of pieces of corn on the same hook.
Doesn't sound like cheating to me. 👍
Me neither
man, gg 4 u
Is that really cheating tho? lol
When I was a kid back in the 80's I threw a hook filled with corn into a lake in GA. Didn't have a clue what I was doing. Hooked into a large carp that drug me across the boulder I was sitting on! Corn is a secret weapon. lol
😉
I caught a goldfish on corn once. It was an urban pond in Arizona and had a lot of pet store fish in there from people releasing them from their aquariums
_Good night, fisherman!_
_Congratulations, beautiful Fish!_
_Hugs and good_ *Fishing!* 👍😎
Thanks, good fishing!
Great video! I learned a lot. PS. I heard helicopter lures were the best for trout
Thats #bullshit 😂
I have only caught pike and pickeral on helicopter lures lmao
Best comment in this comment section 😂
I remember catching tons of bass on the helicopter lures back in the day.
@strange ghost it's a lure from back in the 90s. Goes for about $100 per box on eBay now and I used to get them for $5 a box wholesale.
That is one cool looking place to fish at, I wish I had a good trout fishing place to go year around .
I fish mostly Bass from my boat but in the spring I love to fish trout from shore on a little ultra light. Mostly stocked here in Connecticut. It can be lots of fun. Keep those videos coming !
This vid was oddly relaxing. Very zen lol
Nope, worms and crappie minnows are the best trout bait. My friends laugh at me because I'm a "professional" and I still use live bait like worms and minnows. In the end, I'm the one laughing because I catch the most fish!!!
I used corn in the past....Especially in New Mexico....Utah finally introduced corn this year for fishing....holy cow....its about time
Good for stock trout...but some are picky....some like power bait etc....awesome video
Powerbait is what I usually use 😅
Yea I'm in Utah to excited to finally be able to use corn
Just adding a comment to make there 667 don’t mind me
Ay I like your realness my guys keep it up just subscribed
Thanks Felix
same!! straight raw!
Hello Sir,
I'm from Connecticut. You sure have Beaufule spots
Who needs coffee just jump in an ice cold river!
That looks like a side of corn from KFC! 🤪
Certainly looks like corn works! 🌽
Another great vid! 👍
Its the package from KFC 😅
I been using corn for rainbow trout for 30 years....I’m only 41 now🤔
We can't use corn here in San Diego, worms and powerbait is our usual. I love me some troot, I smoke um whole.🦎👑🐟
No corn? DENIED!
@@RealisticFishing Corn is bad for trout.
non-competitive angling FTW! That looked like a fun day.
I think you need to look into fishing with corn for trout they cant digest it and if they eat any and u dont catch them they r gonna die ... But i will say corn does work good! its not legal to fish with corn for trout where i live
The trout in our Tasmanian waters don’t fall for any of the powerbait, bobbers etc. you have to use natural baits, flys, you might get lucky with spinners. Would love to see a video for newbies using those methods. The methods in these vids only work on our “farm stocked ponds and rivers”
All I have access to is stocked water... for now.
We used corn and salmon eggs for trout in Ruidoso, NM. Those fish are stocked and they are fed corn since birth. 🤣
Mmmm corn!
Little Rancher I just got back from fishing at the Inn... all I caught was a buzz 😕
Always love watching you keep fishing real...you fish like the average guy and I love it...thanks for keeping it realistic....keep the videos coming..
That was a sweet brown trout and he fought like a hog. Looked fun
It was a great change of pace 👍
Definitely a nice fish! But I'm almost 100% sure its a spotted sea trout
I have a question, does gulp fake corn work better than corn for lake trout? If not the reason and what is better?
I am not sure, I dont fish for lake trout
Realistic Fishing it’s okay thank you for atleast reading it by the way I love all your videos and I’m inspired to fish because of you. Thank you
dam that's a beautiful place
Is it soft corny or hard ?
soft, from a can
What a gorgeous spot, with the bird sounds and the clear water; so dreamy! Beautiful fish, Very nice video!
The fog really sets it off 👍
It looks really peaceful!! (I was told touching a trout or holding a trout automatically kills it and you might as well eat it. Any thoughts?)
I want to go trout fishing...but I don’t know anyone who trout fishes around Raleigh...
Google it!
trout love corn...TOO MUCH! I prefer carp fishing (that fight!) but can't use corn in the same places where trout are as the annoying stocker trout constantly get to it first....my pet peeve. Trout are the "trash fish"/ unwanted by catch when carp are the target. All things are relative, now THAT'S being REALISTIC ;-)
You can favor which ever fish you want 👍
One small advantage of PowerBait is the growing number of waters which don't allow corn and similar to be used as baits. However, even in those areas, I still prefer natural baits (worms, eggs, insects, etc) over PowerBait. If I absolutely must use artificial stuff, I'd go for spoons, inline spinners, flies, and similar.
I have never fished anywhere where corn was illegal. I dont think...
Yes mate, I like Corn! Even, it's the 50% of my channel's name. Thanks for this question.
yum corn!
looked like a good time
I fished for three hours today and only caught one six inch largemouth on a 10.5 inch worm
now that's realistic
gotta go for trout some day
The bass fishing is pretty slow around here as well.
All creatures large and small like corn....I heard Great Whites love corn....a lot of it...large bites !
Shark on corn!
I like to use corn with salmon eggs on a size 6 or 8 cricket hook with the barb pinched down. Great video despite the 2 thumbs down that I saw. I wonder why though. Hmm.
Misery loves company 😉
KFC Corn... Thats Cheating.... lol... Trout get picky at times... Sometime they want corn, sometime it could be rainbow power bait, yellow, with or without glitter, or even pumpkin... Here trout and cart are about all that is in the local Park Lake where I can fish for now... I actually give away or catch and release and only keep one or maybe two... for the wife, my little kitty cat and myself to eat...
Years ago they woulds stock with Cats and Bass in the summer but they said it costs to much so summer is basically no fishing unless it for Carp... They usually stock the end of Oct threw April 1st with Trout..
I am still on my countdown for my MOVING TO TEXAS AND seeing CALIFORNIA in my REAR VIEW MIRROR FOR THE LAST TIME... I Can Hardly wait.
Colonel's kernels.
I hope u like hot humid weather. Ive lived texas all my life. We get a lot of 100 degree plus days and im in the northern part. Im 56 and it gets hotter it seems every year
I actually grew up in North Texas, Around the Sherman (Graduated Sherman high) , Denison, Pottsboro area. I grew up Fishing on Lake Texhoma and in the Red River at the damn and just below it.
I had a a home made raft That I used on the lake... Around the edges of course.
And did catch some nice Cats and Bass off it.
Military took me away from there for a long time... Now after almost 33 years in the military and wife getting ready to retire ITS TIME TO GET OUT OF CALIFORNIA FOR GOOD...
@@retiredoldsarge5938 im 36 miles west of sherman. My uncle was in the military and lived in El Cajon then he moved back with his family to texas just east of sherman in savoy tx. Theres a lot of people from california in texas
I know exactly where that is... When I was in first grade in school we lived in Whitesboro .
Yep and there are lots in the process of moving back to... Its Wife's retirement time now and we got to get out of these crazy California Taxes and back to a more affordable place to live. Its going to be nice to hear More English Again then Spanglish.. and to a place where people eat deep fried cat fish instead of fish tacos... lol
Nice brown Alex! Gorgeous fish dude
Thanks!
corn will catch trout, carp and other pan fish sure like corn but we all know powerbait will do the work too .... hey Alex i remember watching a video of this place been fished by you and an other person is that right?
It will also catch catfish. Yes, that was me and Panfish Bill
Wading with giant snapping turtles... Eep. What's the purpose of the barrel swivel in your setup? Were you getting line twist with a single hook and split shot? Never seen that before.
Yeah, the corn twists a lot when coming through the current.
That place looks incredible 😍 awesome awesome brown trout!!!
How dare you hook a sacred trout. Man people get all kinda mad over these fish. I don't fish for them much but I enjoy it when I do.
Ha! These are stocked with my license money 😀
The thing I like about you is that you don’t waste all your money on expensive reels like the more popular people but you I can call a real fisherman
Thats right, I am not about hype and flexing that $$
All were browns
alrighty then
Powerbait is extremely effective for rainbow trout. Especially when rigged with a weightless octopus hook. And attached to a bobber. Use 2 feet of line between the bobber and hook.
Nothing like fishing while there's a fog. Very calming and mystical
Its tricks my camera something fierce. So bright! 😅
canoeing or kayaking in fog especially in low light ...and even better through low bullrushes/stick ups is super surreal.! love it
My baby momma used corn to get her trout n I used minnows n got my first rainbow fought like crazy
Congrats on your first one!
Can't beat KFC corn for trout!! LOL Great job Alex!
Colonel's secret recipe!
AWESOME VIDEO MAN!!!
👊 Thanks!
Mini marshmallows work believe it or not 😁
I believe it 👍
@@RealisticFishing km
I only really use power to tip the hooks on jigs when crappie fishing is slow.
I use it for all sorts of different fish 😅
Realistic Fishing I would but I’m 14 soI’m a little short on cash and power bait is a bit expensive
Very nice brown.
Awesome video
last one looked like a brookie
I am not good at telling them apart. 😅
100 percent a brown.
That wet my appetite for some stocked trout fishing, my area should be getting stocked in about a month or so.
November 1 here an I'm going crazy waiting. Got new reels line an gulp baits to try also corn.
Right around the corner
I personally use a gold trout magnet jig with a bubblegum pink powerbait worm and a split shot about a foot up from the jig. I've caught wild and stocked trout.
I can attest to this
Some nice trout! And a beautiful morning out there! Wish I could have gotten back up to the mountains to trout fish this year
Make your wish come true 👍
Pink powerbait micetails work best for me....
Alrighty then
Nice video! They looked like brown trout. I’m glad the water is getting colder. I’m ready to get back out there and try my hand at trout fishing again. I will have to try the corn
I bet it works!
I usually use pink worm for browns when they come up with salmons but man i gotta try corns out
Maybe I will try pink worms one day. 👍
I crush stocked trout on corn... wild trout won't touch it though haha
Yeah, pretty sure all of these were stocked at one time.
Works great for ice fishing!
Corn does?
@@RealisticFishing oh yea!
i use corn in my lakes i chum more than i fish lol and i catch
Way to go chum
Nice dude
👍
I fish for corn on trout. I have yet to catch one single ear!
I suggest (nightcrawler) I think that's what you guy's call Lob worms in the U.S?
I too like using KFC bait containers.
yay!
Hearing that drag scream when it’s fighting is too amazing lol gotta love it
Always exciting 👍
Beautiful Brown!! TU#43
👍
At 3:44 those are mussel shells. This place looks a lot like our blue ribbon trout fishery here in KY on the Cumberland River. I’ve got several trout fishing videos on my channel from there.
Are those trout stocked up there?
Realistic Fishing yes the Wolf Creek National Fish Hatchery is at the base of the dam. They raise rainbows, brown, and brook trout for streams and rivers all over the state and country. They have a “hatchery creek” that feeds trout directly into the Cumberland River. Those trout also come back there to spawn naturally.
Awesome video like always and what a beautiful scenery you’re a lucky man wish We had rivers like those here
It was a beautiful day!
You probably do...Just look.
since they make corn power bait, no sense choosing
On their site fisherman factory outlets has buy 1 get 1 50% off all their rods reels lines an lures right now great time to stock up.
Nothing like wading in an ice-cold trout stream to beat the summer heat!
Hot on top, freezing on the bottom. Its strange 😅
Ive caught them on corn but cant say it works better than powerbait. I normally always limit out and quicker with powerbait than almost anything else. If they aren't tuned into powerbait their looking for something moving and I go to an inline spinner normally
Well alrighty then 😀
Beautiful brownies man. I like both corn and brownies. Not together and I like brownies better than corn but hey I'm a fat sooooo. lol
You dont like brownies with corn in em ?
lol
I like to use corn on the rainbow trout 🎣
👍
I've used corn to catch pan fish before
All sorts of fish like corn 👍
First
WADERS!!!!!!!!!!!! berkley Honey worms are good too. you should do the berkley battles of bait
Just curious why you use a swivel and leader. Why not just hook up to the mainline and add the split shot. Thanks
Because the corn twists a lot as it drifts down in the current.
Realistic Fishing Thank you! Love the videos
Hey Realistic fishing I want to know do you still use the kayak for fresh water fishing :-) ?
I never had a kayak. I have a jon boat that I hope to take out as it cools off.
Lojo get this man in a kayak! Just not the orange one though.....😁🚣😁
Why does line all go to one side of my spool?
The usual culprit it that the line is being held off to the side when spooled. Make sure it is coming down the center of the the reel through at least one guide. Also make sure the level spooling guide is moving side to side while you put the line on.
Have you ever tried float fishing a fly on a spinning reel? That is how I catch a solid 80% of my trout.
Yes, I have but I always do better with it bouncing off the bottom.
I have only gotten sunfish and channel cats on corn. Going to try it for trout now
You got a few trout around there?
When they stock the ponds close to home. Otherwise have to head north to the cooler streams
Put a small marshmallow on with a couple of kernels... works likes a charm and it keeps the corn off the bottom.
Hmm never heard that before.
#Corn is #lyfe
You should try fly fishing
Maybe one day... I am already spread a little thin.
That brown put up a tough fight!
Might be my biggest brown yet 👍
Doesn’t the corn fall off after every cast? What’s keeping it on the hook?
Corn stays on really well it basically only comes off from a fish hitting it
It comes off after a little while twisting in the current. But thats why you bring a bunch, its so cheap.
I always thought trout only eat stuff thats alive except powerbait
Seriously?
In europe we use all kinds of insects and worms, maggots, lures, spinners
Man beautiful brown trout
👍👍
Cold water only means one thing. Major shrinkage. Lol!
Didnt walk in that deep 😂
Realistic Fishing lmao!! Nice!
Using corn is good for carp and bluegill only thing I have used it for
and trout! 😅
@@RealisticFishing yeah but I have never fished for trout lol
It’s been 20 years since I used to fish as a child. Getting back into it now, we don’t have power bait in town so hopefully this corn can work for me.
I don't think the fish can digest the corn. I think its illegal in some states.
I have seen scientific studies that say its doesnt harm them. Its not the most nutritious but it wont kill them.
@@RealisticFishing try fly fishing.
Nice trout Alex! I have caught some rainbows on corn
Nice!
