BBQ trout? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Yakin · 03-27-2012, 04:02 PM

Trout fishing was my hobby before i began saltwater fishing
Get yourself some power bait that the flavor is lemon twist or orange twist and use a small size trouble hook
then place your sinker about a foot up your line once your out there
put your pole in the pole holder take a medium sized bobber with a hook on the booker below the second eye of your like and hang it off your line
once that bobber starts to move your one baby
You will kill them all day!!
Or if you want to be a more active fisher and move around buy the second smallest silver cast master lure
cast it out give your rod a couple light jerks around 5-8 cranks
Good luck!!

don't go there without a pink mira shad!!!!! cd5/and 7 in firetiger are also good producers. Trolling those lures, if you put the work in, you are almost surely going to catch trout!!!!

Good luck out there!

Looks like we have a lot of trout experts here

But what size of sinkers should i bring when fishing bait? split shot? 1/4oz? 1/2oz? i have no idea the depth there, i have no FF either..

Remember to change that 8lb line to 4lb. Small hook.

I normally do a dropshot setup with a very light weight, leave the weight about ~12in or less below the hook. power worms any color (they have green, pink, orange, white).

A light rod is preferred but im no expert.. =)

Just Have fun.. BBQ trout MMmmMmm

The last time I fished I caught my trout on trolling
a pink diawa shiner. They sell them in their
tackle store. You can also ask the Berkeley
pro staff.

....nothin beats the worm. I like to shore fish for trout and I always use an inflated worm on a #6 hook, carolina rigged with a 1/8 egg sinker and a carolina keeper. Judge how much leader line to pull out by how tall the bottom grass is where you will be fishing. You want your inflated worm to float about a foot above the grass so play around with it. Another trick is gulp makes a trout dip for worms. I use the green garlic and give my worm a good coating. A jar will last forever. I cant remember ever getting skunked using this method

4 lb test is ok, 2 lb test is better. #16 treble is ok, but #18 is better. You can troll powerbait (chartreuse or spring green) slowly with really good results. Roll it into a long worm shape with the small treble in the top 3rd. Put a small split shot about 12 inches from the hook, cast out, leave the bail open for and paddle for about 20 yds, close it and troll slowly. If you have a FF and see the fish near the surface you might have luck with a nightcrawler under a bobber. I've had great luck with hanging 1/2 NC about 6 feet below the bobber - just killed them.

Man, I wish I could go with you. Good luck!
