| Stock trout fishing with metal jig and light tackle |
Took a quick break to fish the stock trout from a nearby
lake. Got my limits within a couple hours. All caught with tiny metal spoons. Surprisingly
another rod I setup with Powerbait did not get any bite today.
My setup are:
Shakespeare Agility Spinning Combo 5’ UL https://amzn.to/2T9qSxL
2lbs Berkley Vanish Fluorocarbon line https://amzn.to/2Sc8eZe
Phoebe Spinning Lure 1/8oz gold and 1/16ox silver blue https://amzn.to/2TdtV8h
Kastmaster Lure 1/8oz gold https://amzn.to/2S7UZZg

| Phoebe Spinning Lure 1/16ox silver blue |
Trout fishing really does not have any high requirement for
gears. The light rod combo I used was on sale for $20 last year and I caught a
lot fish with it. Here are the photos of my spoons. Since I was using a 2lbs
Fluorocarbon line, I was able to cast very light lure. The Phoebe lure is just
1/8oz and 1/16oz. The Kastmaster lure also worked well this morning, but for some
reason I have a few more missed bites than the Phoebe.
Using light 2lbs line for lure will give you best action and
it is most suitable for stock trout fishing. But be prepare for line break. The
problem is not pulling the fish in. The line usually break when the fish is
landed and flipping around on the ground. It will be better if I use a net I
guess.
When I driving home I thought about why I did not get bite
with Powerbait. One of the things that I noticed is the area where I fished the
bottom does not seems to have a lot of vegetation. So my theory is my leader length
for the Powerbait setup is too long. I was using about 18 to 24 in leader. As I
was busy with the lure casting so I didn’t bother to make the changes for the Powerbait rod. I think
if I reduce it to shorter leader, I should at least have some bite. So maybe
something to try next time I go up there.
Nice video. Thanks
