I've recently started catching perch on corn. Not moving but static on the bottom. I think it may say more about the food levels in the lake rather than the liking of perch for corn
After a delay, I at last for round to reading all of the interesting replies and, MGs, yours is the only one that reflects the experience of the 3 of us this year. Corn on the bottom.
The food levels issue might well apply to all bar one of the lakes during the hot dry spell. That one is fed by a reliable spring and was packed full of food!
Perch snapping instinctively at a piece of corn being reeled in I can buy into, Ive even caught them on empty hooks, though that has never knowingly happened to me yet.
