    I'm one of those fishermen who don't like to see fish suffer after being caught...that I'm going to keep , so I knock the fish hard on top of the head to knock it out . My needle nose pliers are heavy enough to knock it out if I hit fish with metal handle part..not needle end. Putting rope , metal chain , or a stick through its gills and leaving it in water to try and breathe seems cruel. It's suffering so I knock mine out and put it on stringer if water is cold or I put it on ice. I'm not a tree hugger but I want the least amount of suffering for what I just caught.

    I went trout fishing over the weekend and there were people next to me at the lake just reeling in trout after trout. I saw they had filled those plastic, see thru bobbers with water and were able to cast much farther than me to access trout in the deeper, colder water. I changed my rig to theirs and limited out in 1 hour!...cheese or green power bait on a 3 foot leader.. and it doesn't fall off the treble hook as much as using weights. Have you heard of this rig?..the line still slides thru the bobber like a slip weight.

    • @FishHawk
      @FishHawk  6 років тому +1

      Yes. Float & Fly technique. Except instead of using a fly you're using powerbait. You would need to use sinking powerbait instead of floating powerbait. It is a good technique for Trout. I have heard of a lot of people doing well with it. I have never personally tried it though.

    • @jonathanmosher72
      @jonathanmosher72 5 років тому

      It's definitely more ethical. Using Powerbait on the bottom is only good if you plan to eat the fish since they swallow the hook 50% of the time.

      Toolio Jones, the key is small hooks, lite line 2-6lb, and a slip rig like that. You don’t want trout to feel the weight or line. If they feel resistance the will normally drop the bait.

    When you’re fishing with circle hooks, never set the hook by jerking your rod up, it will most likely jerk the bait out of the fishes mouth, and it may get the hook stuck in his throat. The key for hooking fish correctly with circle hooks is, slowly start to move your rod sideways, and slowly start to reel while you’re moving your rod sideways, then start picking up speed reeling, and moving your rod sideways. That way, it will hook the fish in the corner of the mouth, every.. single.. time.. it works for me every time. Try that tip next time you go fishing with circle hooks.

    Very nice video normally if I don't have intentions on keeping trout I won't fish for them at all they're too fragile of a fish

    Been using that set up for years. I use the rainbow colors with glitter and the corn, both work in stained water. I also use 2 feet of 2lb fluorocarbon as my leader. Super light and they can’t see it.

    I did a lot of trout fishing up in the hills of Northern California. Lake fishing that is. For that found that a small triple hook with garlic scented power bait worked the best. Never had any luck with the corn or any other power bait. Occasionally small cast masters worked really well, too.

    While I understand your point, fish that die in the pond do not go to waste. It will eventually be eaten by other creatures in the pond. Nature knows how to handle it. Yes, I would prefer not to unnecessarily kill a fish I don't intend to eat. But it will be eaten.

    I went out today and tried this exact setup. I caught a fish in the first 20 mins. Then a guy near me suggested the powerbait floating eggs amd he was dipping them in a grocery store jar of minced garlic. I added a heavier sinker due to wind and current and tested at the shore to see how they floated. They floated really well. So I casted it out and got an almost immediate strike. The friendly gentleman giving me advice was pulling them in left and right. I would catch 2 or 3 to every one I would catch. But we both were reeling them in. I was releasing my but I gut hooked one unfortunately and he was at his limited...so I keeped one. Next thing ya know I was at my limit.
    I haven't fished or caught a fish since I was 12 with my grandfather. I finally caught one today using your setup and it lead to making a friend and improving the setup for that pond I was fishing.
    Just wanted to share more fishing story, and your roll it had in today, and to say thanks for the advice. It got me started, and today was just outstanding. I am now hooked on fishing and look forward to many more adventures.
    Oh amd yes I got the rainbows home and stumbled my way through cleaning and filleting and then fried them up in olive oil with a simle lemon pepper battle and made homemade cocktail sauce and cole slaw. Dipped some in the cocktail sauce, and put some on a tortilla and added the coleslaw on top for a country style taco. Delicious.
    Thanks again for this video. If got me started on a journey that I hope NEVER ends.

    • @FishHawk

      I haven't tried them yet. I follow Pautzke on Instagram and they are always catching nice Trout. I may need to give them a try. Thanks for watching!

  • @mikew.762

    Been using that rig for years, for power bait I love the Berkley’s chartreuse trout bait. When they are freshly stocked or hard to catch I coat it in
    Hatchery dust.

      You just gotta get the right information and fish the right spots. It can be a big learning curve but once you get to know the water’s around your area, it’ll click. Even then though, the greatest fishermen still get skunked every once in. a while.

  • @dakotasrocks
    @dakotasrocks 5 років тому +1

    On the Carolina rig, I usually use the green, yellow, and orange colored garlic flavored power bait and that is usually best for me! I will try the corn flavored and see if there is any difference.

    • @FishHawk
      @FishHawk  5 років тому

      Sounds good! I just caught my limit of trout yesterday on the corn flavor. Video coming soon :)

    Good ol' Carolina rig. I've never fished for trout before, I only just now moved to a place that has them so I've been doing some research. I thought they were only fished for with flies and spinners/spoons, but now I'm seeing you can catch them many different ways.

  • @godisgood.7033
    @godisgood.7033 6 років тому +2

    I used to use those powerbait you used, the ones you have to mold yourself onto the hook. Now I just use the ones that's like rubbery and is in a ball already. They work perfectly fine too and it's less hassle on constantly putting more bait back on. Great video though!!!

    • @FishHawk
      @FishHawk  6 років тому

      I use those sometimes too. They work great. Like you said, a lot less hassle and they stay on your hook very well. I've caught my limit on the same 2 Power Eggs before. Thanks!

    • @godisgood.7033
      @godisgood.7033 6 років тому

      Fish Hawk haha I've never got limit on just a pair of balls before haha. I'm try to do that now and see if I could do it. 😆 you've set the bar high lol.

    • @FishHawk
      @FishHawk  6 років тому +1

      haha they're super tough! Just make sure you don't grab them with your pliers/forceps when you remove the hook. I've accidentally done that before and they tear or rip.

    • @godisgood.7033

      I'm not sure if they still make them, but my favorite color was "sunrise." I caught the most Trout on that color.
