If you forgot to stop at the tackle shop or the neighborhood gas station ran out of worms what other baits can you use for trout? In this video I test several common kitchen grocery items to see if trout will take them. Have you ever used pea, corn, cheese, garlic, or bread for trout fishing? In this video I test out those five baits to see how trout react to them.
Thanks for watching!

Up in the mountains, wild Huckleberries work great and look like little eggs. Thanks for the video, corn and bread for the win 🏆

[@brianpapiez1719]

Tyler, my grandfather always said you can catch polar bears with peas too. What you do is drill the hole in the ice and place peas around the hole. Then when the bear comes to take a pea you kick him in the ice hole. 😂 Another great video!!

[@spiltmilt]

Hahaha.

[@brian1204]

Good way to win a Darwin Award! Lol…

Very cool to see so many items work well. This time of year I can usually get a good amount of just regular backyard worms, but man it's hit or miss whether they do well. Wax worms at any petco or shop are another easy to get item that can last in the fridge a while. Shoepeg is always an option for trout and kokanee, lots of dyes too if you go that route, always a great option. Can't say I've done much with pees or garlic!

[@Thisisfrank123]

Feeding the blue heron is awesome. Some will be like ohhhh why are you leaving that fish to die in your hands. Brotha gotta eat

When I was about 8-10 years old I was fishing a lake in Oregon and watching some older guy absolutely smoke the stocker trout on mini jet puffed marshmallows and a tiny chunk of worm. Now that I’m older it doesn’t seem so crazy but when I was a kid it absolutely blew my mind that he was catching fish on marshmallows. 😂

[@youraveragefishkeeper]

I remember catching fish back on my visits to Mexico with corn flour tortillas. Definitely one of my earliest fishing memories I have with my dad. Great times for sure.

[@mtcoiner7994]

Rainbows love shrimp as well. Every time we buy shrimp I salt and dye a few.

[@glpf5]

Not surprised about the bread. When I was a kid, and it was legal to trap minnows here, we used old bread in the minnow traps. Thanks for the great video.

[@jessetharp6319]

Never tried for trout, but back in Oklahoma we used to catch panfish with little chunks of bacon. Stays on the hook really well too.

[@sov19871987]

We used to make bread dough when I was a kid, would also add mashed sunflower seeds for extra scent into the dough.

Uncooked garlic is very strong - almost metallic tasting. Many years ago when working for the Forest Service I had a coworker convinced raw garlic and onions would give him great health. This guy would eat half a raw onion and 5 or 6 cloves of garlic every morning and the other 3 of us in the vehicle on the hour-long drive to our work site would suffer with the fumes. I tried a slice of raw garlic and it tasted so strong I would have been sure it was poisonous if I hadn't known it was garlic. Suggestion: roasted garlic is edible and garlic fans (me included) enjoy it on pizza, so evidently the heat eliminates nearly all of the strength of the metallic taste, but leaves the garlic taste we enjoy. So maybe roasted garlic would be good as a bait.

As a youngster, pieces of Hotdogs would work now and then, mostly perch and crappie, but every now and then a rainbow would bite.

[@garykeful6111]

Yeah, when I was a kid, I tried many different things from home. Doe balls and popcorn sometimes works. We never could afford store bat when I was a lade. Enjoy watching your shows. I tried garlic as well and never got I bit.

[@rondeezy_thepancakeslayer1242]

I’ve never thought of using corn for trout, but now I will! I’ve also used little bay shrimp and cut them into bite sized pieces and it works well.

[@ThatPNWGuy2024]

Haha nobody has Shoepeg in the kitchen unless it’s for Kokanee or trout anyhow.

[@spiltmilt]

Its the tastiest corn out there.

[@aesthetic_mfr]

​@@spiltmiltI agree. I read online not to eat it or use it t in recipes (shoepeg) but I ate a spoonful of it and thought it was great. Idk why people don't eat it and why folks say not to or not to use it in recipes.

[@ronlee597]

I’ve used regular canned corn (for Kokanee too) because that was in the pantry and it seems to work just as well as shoepeg.

[@brian1204]

My first ever fish caught, when I was 10, was a rainbow trout in a small lake with a small bit of American cheese on a hook. 😎

[@HungryH1951]

God bless the Heron lovers.

[@mannymayer9250]

Thank you for feeding the wildlife!

[@brandonjelinek8963]

I think the next video should be how to catch trout on Will alone. The power of the mind.. sometimes I think it’s your scientific mind that causes fish to jump into your lap other times. I think you may be involved in witchcraft.. either way awesome video yet again dispelling myths around fishing

All herons have a name, and that name is Fred. Coincidently, sea gulls are named Fred too. I'd like to see this test done on perch.

[@troytwibell6876]

Mini marshmallows 👍

[@chubbrock659]

Tipped with a worm!

[@BC-ue3ku]

It’d be interesting to keep adding bait to see what happens. Every time you catch a fish add another bait to the hook. Corn, corn and garlic, Corn and garlic and peas etc. See if you can get up to a giant ball of 15 baits 😂

[@RR-nj5mx]

Mac and cheese. Had a fisherman in a hole next to me using it and he was doing great so I asked him what he was using and he was using the mac from his lunch.

[@spiltmilt]

Cheese and carbs...who could resist?

[@archit2796]

I have tried hotdogs…… maybe better for pan fish 🎣

[@chubbrock659]

I have always wondered why garlic attracts fish.

[@timothymartin664]

are they still planning to draw down Detroit this spring?

[@spiltmilt]

Yes

[@paulrenier1550]

Taste and scent are different things as far as the garlic goes lol

[@rdmctague]

Do fish like corn or ribbed hooks?

[@smthcrmnal26]

Velveta works.

[@spiltmilt]

It also barely qualifies as food. LMAO. Its like the Powerbait of the cheese world.

[@smthcrmnal26]

@ it’s more pricey than powerbait also.

[@RayColon-r1f]

Have you ever tried salmon eggs?

[@spiltmilt]

Yes they work great

[@Sledgefist1]

What lake is this? I want to go roses lake but don’t know if the ice is good.

[@spiltmilt]

Roses and its not very safe right now. Be very careful

[@billquinlan4590]

Have you ever tried salad shrimp?

[@spiltmilt]

Yes. They love salad shrimp. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYfPhH9tm7WFfbc

[@chubbrock659]

I use shrimp for perch, crappie and all kinds of trout through the ice, they love it

[@wojomojo]

Garlic may not feel right when they gum it

[@Roundjammer]

Bacon, especially the fat.

[@eddygarcia8814]

Hopefully the ice sticks around longer this year.. I was there on Saturday and 3in was not comfortable enough for me haha..

[@spiltmilt]

I for the life of me cannot understand why the ice growth has been so slow at this lake. Makes no sense.
