All goood suggestions. Similar to your bottom rig for lakes I like to use a teardrop weight at the bottom and then space hooks on leaders 2ish feet from the bottom and then 2-3 feet between hooks on the second one (AZ allows 2 hooks per line) with powerbait eggs. Allows for presentation at multiple levels in the water table and useful for gauging their suspension level.
Dude. This is the smartest thing i've heard in a while! I will definitely be trying this out next time I go bottom fishing for trout. If you have any other knowledge to share on future videos please share it. It will help loads of people. Thanks bro.
The strongest and easiest line-to-lure knot of all time is the Palomar Knot. I HAVE...on dozens of occasions at outdoorsman shows, gotten a Palomar Knot to hold 100% line strength when tested with the pull-scales at the fishing line company booths. This one guy at a Stren fishing line booth years ago was teaching people how to properly tie the Improved Clinch Knot and when he was done, I took the line, ran one end through the eye, formed a loop and ran the tag end back through the eye and tied a simple overhand knot with the loop and passed the lure through the loop after. Then wetted the knot, cinched it and clipped the tag end. When he put it on the the pull scale, the line broke and the knot held at 100%. Mr. Stren couldn't believe his eyes. He did the test himself and then he tried tying three more Palomar Knots, tested them and got the same result. Mr. Stren said "Thank you for teaching me that!" and went to tell his other Mr. Stren buddies about what I just showed him.
As a person who is not even 100% sure which end of a rod to put in the water (lol) I really appreciate your videos. They are helpful and straight to the point. Thank you. I'm going to try this fishing thing tomorrow!
Thank you so much! You made my day. I try to keep my videos as straight to the point as possible (although sometimes I get caught up in all the bs of making a UA-cam video lol) Definitely get out there tomorrow! Just have patience and take everything as a learning lesson. Come back here and tell me how it went! Good luck rboll!
Thanks Nikmar, good and simple ideas, easy to understand, just what I was looking for. Going to try all four setups on my upcoming fishing trip, Keep the video’s coming, appreciate your help.
The Berkley Mice Tails can be deadly in still water. For those not familiar with them, they are a Power Bait egg with a tail about an inch and a half long. Cast out and twitch your rod occasionally, giving that tail some pretty enticing action.
Wow what a great video. Very well explained and useful tips. Really easy to understand and see the set ups you used and for which applications. 👍🏼 first time I’ve seen your channel but will definitely check out your other stuff.
Used the bottom rig today with my friend and it definitely worked. Caught around 30 between the both of us. Only bad part is the fish absolutely swallow it so if you’re not catching to cook then you will likely kill a lot of fish. Definitely bringing a cooler next time.
Joes flies are by far the best spinners you can get. Better than rooster tails, panther martins etc, and it's not close. Joes flies ladies and gentlemen.
I’m new to the fishing world, been trying to get out here and there, but a lot of lakes around me have the nasty bottom, lost 3 hooks so far, so I’m a little worried about spinners… Do you have any luck using plastic worms for trout?
Lakes can be tough to bottom fish. I have never caught a trout on a plastic worm at a lake, but at the river I have caught plenty on it. If you want to use the plastic worm I showed in the video, I would suggest maybe using a drop shot rig. This will help keep the worm off of the bottom. I will be able to answer this question with 100% certainty in the fall because that is when bottom fishing for trout picks up at my lake. My lake just went up about 60 feet, and there is a ton of new brush and trees submerged which makes it very difficult to bottom fish. Hopefully I find an answer for you Daniel.
When fishing a spinner you should not use a bobber or weight. A bobber is meant to float and keep a bait off of the bottom and allow it to drift downstream. You could use a bobber with the pink worm. I have seen people do it, but I just have not given it a shot. Great question!
Is it too hot for stocked trout? Been consistently 80 degrees with showers and heard it was bad for trout. Don't want to waste my time in the hot weather yk lol
I still think you can go out and catch them. You just have to target the right locations. Deep pools or shaded areas will probably hold the most fish. Also fish early morning and late afternoon. I would say that things have slowed down. This is usually what happens. April is usually the best month.
I've never get trout with those cheep spinners. And there's only trout where I live. High Desert 🤔 the fish live cricket 🦗 nightcrawlers, mino's fly fishing is the same thing as baits. Throw and wait.
Treble hooks. For trout are cruel. If u get small trout on them. Thier dead. And ur killing. The. Future. Barbless. Size. 12s. Are the only sporting way ,
Hey tommy you are right. My state only stocks keeper size trout in the rivers, so I only use a treble hook if I am going to keep fish. There are very few wild trout in my local rivers, and there is no shot they would eat powerbait hahaha. Thanks for the info.

Awesome story man. I will give the Palomar knot a try thanks for the info!

Thanks a lot yardboy! I'm so glad my video helped you out. Good luck out there man!!!! If you need any more help drop a comment.
Really good advice. All I’ve ever used is spinners and man they work. Gonna have to give the power bait a try.
Use joes flies, they are superior to rooster tails in every way. 😊

I've seen these before but have never tried them. I will probably give them a shot next season thanks steve!
Wow great job young Buck. Learn a lot keep it simple.
Yakima bait bumblebee rooster tail is my all time favorite
sweet man, gonna go on a fishing trip soon. will definitely take your advice
awesome gavin! good luck out there hope you crush them!
Great stuff man . I have fish and watch tons of videos in Florida I must say you have a great future in u-tube 💯 you have another subscriber.
Brother that means a lot thank you. We'll be fishing in Florida once I climb the UA-cam ranks lol. Good luck out there Rocco!
Great content and advice. Just subscribed to your channel for future vids. Keep up the great work and tight lines.
Appreciate you man. Tight lines to you too!
Wow what a great video. Very well explained and useful tips. Really easy to understand and see the set ups you used and for which applications. 👍🏼 first time I’ve seen your channel but will definitely check out your other stuff.
Means a lot! There's a whole lot more coming trust me. I will cover tons of different techniques, species, and a lot more. Thanks for the support!

Awesome dude thats what I like to hear! Yes you will gut hook a lot of them but hey they are meant to be cooked up anyways. Keep on catching them bro

So you don't use a weight or bobber with a spinner/pink worm?

@@NikolasMarshall appreciate the feedback!
Try søkvkroken green flake spinner/ lures❤ and Mepps black fury.
Thanks for the suggestions daru I will be looking into new lures and techniques for next season. I will look into these thanks again!

fishermans knot?
Also a solid knot

Interesting. Are the trout wild or stocked? Every place is different so I guess you just have to throw everything and see what works.
