I was fishing for bass in the Huron River, MI, a few days ago. I the fishing for bass was slowing down so I decided to go after another species. There is a large population of sucker-type fish in the river and I want to know how to catch them by my next trip there in a few weeks. |

It's a lot like carp fishing. Depending on size, but I usually start with smaller hooks for suckers. I will use a size 6 or size 8 hook. I usually will bait it with a small peice of nightcrawler. I know large redhorse will take minnows too so that will work sometimes too. I've also caught suckers on white bread too. |

Can sucker and redhorse be caught with corn? I don't know. I've never tried it specifically for suckers or redhorse. I have only caught trout and carp on corn even while there are suckers present in the same waters. |

TIGHT LINES! I have only once caught one on a nightcrawler, probably by accident. |

We used to have an attatch button, once you figured out how to resize a pic it was easy. Now we have to go thru a hosting site to put up a pic. Progress? Tom |

I know that this topic is probably dead, but I caught my first sucker off of a few kernels of corn about a month ago. He was good sized, too.  |

Why would you want to waste your time fishing for suckerfish when there are so many other better species to target? We throw them on the shore around here! |
