Q. Is corn a good bait for bluegill?
Canned sweet corn, bread, old hot dog buns, hot dogs, and even Slim Jims can work to catch Bluegill. Place individual pieces of corn on your hook, or ball up bread using peanut butter as glue. A great way to fish these baits is by using a bobber.
Q. Is corn a good bait for crappie?
A single corn kernel on a small size 6 hook is a good place to start for bluegills and yellow perch. I would never say corn was a better bait than live bait like minnows or earthworms but it can be decent. Crappie really like eating minnows and shad and lures that mimic such natural food.
