Heres a good tip, use hooks that are twice as small as the hooks your using and fish close to the bank and corn works great, and power bait also only use 8 pound test at the most! I usually use 4 or 6 pound test. Also downgrade your in-line spinner to something way smaller then yours! But only use corn if you’re going to keep them! 🔥 Keep up the good work man! 🔥 good luck!
Trout specific fisherman here... 1. Use very light mono line (4-6lbs...trout have excellent eyesight) 2. Use much smaller hooks than that and keep more of the hook tip exposed (excellent eyesight) 3. Use a live worm under a small float and split shot to keep the float straight up and down. Dont let your bait sit on bottom, keep it maybe 2 or 3 feet under the float but that depends on water depth 4. When using hard tackle, use small spinners and spoons with single hooks. Blue, silver, gold, pink or any combo of these are the best colours Those rubber worms do work but theyre meant for fishing in current. Trout are very smart fish and can easily tell real from fake...hence using a real worm I personally dont like powerbait, doesnt work all that well...but thats my opinion Biggest thing is to keep moving and casting in different spots. If your worm doesn't get bit within 5 mins, reel up and cast in a different spot
Not gonna lie I landed one of my PB’s on power bait, not saying I’d use it everytime because it’s messyey and the glitter in it makes you’re wife question y’all’s relationship. But from experience you really wanna use real small hoos for trout and make the ball of power bait as perfect and small as possible I like to only hide the tip of the hook pretty much almso to the bend of the hook.
Try wasp larva. You knock down a small wasp nest. Use a cup half full of gasoline to cover the nest and all the wasps will not be able to breath. They will fall into the cup. Now you have just the nest. Pull the caps off of the larva and use them to fish with. You can catch Trout, Bass of all kinds, Crappie, Perch and many different panfish. My Grandpa used to put on his insulated coveralls, a motorcycle helmet with a scarf wrapped around his neck and welding gloves. He would just walk up to the nest and just knock it down with a stick.
Rig that Berkeley mouse tail like a drop shot with a small sinker. You can run it like a true drop shot, or add a couple inches of leader. Small hook, straight through the head, you don’t have to run it through the bend of the hook like a grub tail. Keep the line tight and just twitch it. Hope that helps
Oiiiiiiii mate i have a tip for you im Australia just walk up s and say what are you using and watch a few outdoorlivnnn tic toks on what little lures he uses
My favorite setup by far is a bottom fishing rig with a mouse tail smeared in garlic scent floating up however much is needed. I go barbless because they almost always swallow that rig whole.
in Netherlands this method is most used because lure fishing is for experts here and for beginners lure fishing is sometimes catching nothing for weeks
Fluorocarbon is a pretty big help when dealing with trout. I'd recommend 4-6lb if you're trout fishing. Also, don't be afraid to change spinners. Some trout are looking for that particular color.
I had the same problem beginning of this year but I used a smaller hook then I was and just a basic worm and started to get em! I think where your worms is floating is huge
If the trout are fresh from the hatchery use corn, or use small sections of shrimp with a piece of corn on the hook end. They tend to hang around 1-2 feet deep and you want to be in the high traffic zone of where they tend to eat which means look for unusual ripples in the water
At least where I am in Texas. The stick trout will not bite any kind of fake lure or trout bait ball things. However. Garlic corn. Or marshmallows are amazing
Great try man I’ve gotten skunked at three times I’ve gone fishing this new year still haven’t got the first fish of the new years but my friend got a giant 3 pound tiger trout thing on one of Thoses mouse tail lures so just keep trying and soon you will get one I could watch this channel 24/7❤❤
use a small piece of cut bait and a small hook and splitshot around 12 to 18 inches from your bait i figured this one out while catfishing at my local lake
The silicon worm with the circle you where using actually caught me 2 blue catfish and 1 channel catfish and to do this you make it dance in the water so you jiggle your rod gently because inside the water the worm will dance it the water so the trout at the pond you were trying to catch will most likely mistake the bait as s real worm so yep!
Yoo i fished there in richmond!! I was there for the nascar weekend Not gunna give the exact location obviously but that place is good for channel catfish and thats about it
I’ve caught some on 1/64oz jigs rigged up with 2.5” inch power bait minnows, here in midwestern stocked ponds. I’ve almost had luck on trout spinners too, mepps and panther martin make some cool ones!
Trout can be super tricky to catch, I'd say a natural presentation or just straight up natural bait is probably gonna work better in areas with lots of fishing pressure
Small hooks, Pink worm rigged wacky and split shot. That’s good for stocked early fall to mid winter. Then start using spinners, crank baits, halgermites later in the spring
Try whole kernel corn! It’s works for me most ever time, if not try regular night crawlers, or try your hand at learning fly fishing it’s another great way to catch trout and it’s a hell of a good time fight them on a fly rod set up
Here’s a tip I learned I was fishing trout with a friends dad and he said use light tackle and live bait they like the movement of natural things so throw small crayfish and a couple worms
Try two power eggs with like 2" of live nightcrawler. Push the eggs up the hook shank until the second egg covers the eye of the hook, then thread the worm onto the shank. Good floating live bait with a spot of color and some extra scent.
Instead of that big tie on weight, try split shot weights, they hug your line more and are alot less visible, and also they allow your bait to sink slower which trout like that like
I've had the best luck on stock trout lakes with worm and bobber about 8 foot deep, or off the bottom if you go off the bottom use a worm blower on your worm, if you have access like a dock to walk out to deeper water, using a 1/16 ounce jighead with a worm and jigging it works great too
use smaller hook and smaller egg wait. also ur line looks more than 4lb. trout are line shy so u have to use 4lb or less. also fluorocarbon is the best choice bc it’s more invisible under water and sinks
Also u should go to Aurora reservoir It is near me and I don't know what kind of fishing I should do cause I can't catch a trail. I can't catch anything I can't even catch a bass and I've never caught a bass.
Put a worm on the hook and inflate it so it will float. If the fish came from a hatchery, use some hatchery bate. The fish are hungry. They will eat the right food.
Put your bait and hook at least 15 to 20 in away from the weight so it can float freely away like it's just a piece of bait floating in the and keep a tight line and look for a small tiny little wiggle it's going to be very very minut and then pick up the runt without shaking it start reeling it in slowly and see if you got something on it
Same here brother and I asked them what bait they use. Nightcrawler… and i used spinners, powerbait and stuf like you… sometimes the soulution is simple.
Here’s a tip if wherever your fishing doesn’t allow, don’t use two poles and also that disgusting play dough your using is called power bait.I know you know that I’m just saying worms and a lot of lures depending on where you live don’t work depending on where you live
Use berkly mice tails, someone named like lip ripper or something has many good videos on them and even tho he seems like a goon he definitely knows his stuff
Your hooks and leader are huge. Try one of those size 12 or 14 treble hooks and 2lb test leader. Don't forget a net and an incredibly loose drag setting. I prefer those mice tails as bait because they don't smell like shit unfortunately you will have to purchase a few different colors. PInch the tail off leaving about an inch on there. And don't cast too far out in the lake.
There’s a pond by my house that stocks trout during the spring and they tend not to be aggressive. I tend to get the most bites when using a #2 Mepps spinner or a worm that’s inflated with air (on a size 8 or smaller hook with a few split shots).
Here in italy we go fishing trout pretty often and what I can suggest you is tu use tinier small and covert it well not like u have done cuz trout are smart and can see very well, also I can suggest u to use a float with a small hook and put "camole del miele" on it unfortunately I wasn't able to find a suitable traduction for the type of larva tu use on the float so try searching it in Italian and hopefully figure out by yourself the name of it, good luck 🤟🏼
Ti 1:6 For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands. For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline
I catch pond stocked trout with a size 8 bait holder hook a split shot about a foot above the hook and a single kernel of canned corn on the shank of the hook
I just started as well, caught my first trout the other day. Use a trout rig from Walmart to hold 2 hooks away from the line with a weight on the bottom
They love rooster tails in my experience. And one of the best lures I’ve used that has always caught me a fish when I go out with it is a “Joe’s Fly: Muddler” trout, bass, and walleye always murder that thing.
Also, the reels you're using look like daiwa fuegos. They're great reels, but designed for inshore use and as a result have reeeeally strong drag systems. So when you switch to lighter lines make sure you set your drag properly, as the drag on that reel can very easily lock down and break light line.
Good taste, same applies. Even the 2500 vanford is sitting between 15 and 20 lbs max drag if I remember correctly, you'll only want it set to around 4 lbs if that
Smaller hooks lighter line and you’re golden , mini jigs, spinners , nymphs and small streamers all work great . I personally fly fish the majority of the time and stocked trout can be super fun with an indicator (bobber) with some flies underneath but if you put some flies under a bobber on a spinning rod that can work well. About 2 1/2 to 5 feet of leader from the float of flourocarbon and you’re gold. Also a Carolina rig with a small like 14-18 size treble hood and some dough bait (power or homemade) all work great. I’d say nothing over 8 pound test but you’ll do better with 6-2 pound tbh
I catch a lot of trout where I’m at because they breed on the creeks here in wv try using garlic powder mixed with American cheese it works really well for trout
Heres a good tip, use hooks that are twice as small as the hooks your using and fish close to the bank and corn works great, and power bait also only use 8 pound test at the most!

Keep up the good work man! 🔥 good luck!
You want like 8-15 inches of line from the weight and make sure you use floating powerbait.
And use monofilament and not floral you want that bait to float off the bottom use light hooks size 14 treble game on
corn kills trout
@@cunnyfunt19999 so does shrimp

I can get stock trout on 25-8 Ib line

I’d recommend a worm. I have a stocked trout lake that always produces if you use a simple worm and a bobber.
Yep stocked trout are very finicky to catch. Some years I catch 40, others I only catch a couple. Don’t feel bad lol
Rig that Berkeley mouse tail like a drop shot with a small sinker. You can run it like a true drop shot, or add a couple inches of leader. Small hook, straight through the head, you don’t have to run it through the bend of the hook like a grub tail. Keep the line tight and just twitch it. Hope that helps
Make sure your bait is floating the hook aswell!
Trout are some of the smartest fish you can catch you have to use tiny hooks and really small test line
1) USE A SPINNER 2) Splitshot a foot a way from hook, attach floating trout dough 3) use a worm on a floater. the worm will catch anything
Hey... I have some luck on spinners sometimes. You could also try fly fishing.

It's NOT the government that stocks those fish at all. It is the state wildlife fishery department each year. Good way to introduce people to fishing
Wonder who the state works for

I had the same problem beginning of this year but I used a smaller hook then I was and just a basic worm and started to get em! I think where your worms is floating is huge
Just use worms LOL. Much more efficient than powerbait. If you’re gonna use powerbait, use smaller hooks and tie a hair rig
If the trout are fresh from the hatchery use corn, or use small sections of shrimp with a piece of corn on the hook end. They tend to hang around 1-2 feet deep and you want to be in the high traffic zone of where they tend to eat which means look for unusual ripples in the water
Clear bobber 4' away from a small single hook with a worm. Make sure the bobber is kinda filled with water and keep casting and realing
If you’re using braid you should try to put a 4-6lb fluro or mono leader should help you with bites
At least where I am in Texas. The stick trout will not bite any kind of fake lure or trout bait ball things. However. Garlic corn. Or marshmallows are amazing

You will get ‘em try Rapala countdown no power bait !
Yin been on point with the loops lately
Yoo i fished there in richmond!! I was there for the nascar weekend Not gunna give the exact location obviously but that place is good for channel catfish and thats about it
Yo use tiny hooks and also use minnows as bait u can use a bobber or real it super slow with a weight
Try bread or corn and use a smaller hook u should get em caught a brown today on bread and a tiny bobber
My advice would be a small treble hook and lead bait. And make sure it's floating
Use mini jigs or hookup baits on 2-4# line an Ultralight jig your slack and keep your line straight
I’ve caught some on 1/64oz jigs rigged up with 2.5” inch power bait minnows, here in midwestern stocked ponds. I’ve almost had luck on trout spinners too, mepps and panther martin make some cool ones!

Try chronimid fishing on the fly or casting and retrieving a fly like a pumpkin head or blob. Lot more fun then bait fishing
love the channel and the i just started fishing yesterday i caught my pb 5 pound bass
Completely cover the hook in power bait so you can see any of the hook just the line sticking out of the powerbait
Try whole kernel corn! It’s works for me most ever time, if not try regular night crawlers, or try your hand at learning fly fishing it’s another great way to catch trout and it’s a hell of a good time fight them on a fly rod set up
I make my own in-line spinners and we catch so much rainbows on them
In my local pond we use light Carolina rigs with yellow power bait or corn but the weirdest one is marshmallows
Here’s a tip I learned I was fishing trout with a friends dad and he said use light tackle and live bait they like the movement of natural things so throw small crayfish and a couple worms
stocked trout eat baits toward the surface i never had luck until using power bait eggs just enough to make em float and right below the surface
Try two power eggs with like 2" of live nightcrawler. Push the eggs up the hook shank until the second egg covers the eye of the hook, then thread the worm onto the shank. Good floating live bait with a spot of color and some extra scent.
Instead of that big tie on weight, try split shot weights, they hug your line more and are alot less visible, and also they allow your bait to sink slower which trout like that like
Just out of curiosity, was that Shield Lake in Richmond Virginia?
Just get a worm put it on a size 8 hook
Small weight
Smaller float with about 2-3feet of room and cast best way to catch them at a pond
I've had the best luck on stock trout lakes with worm and bobber about 8 foot deep, or off the bottom if you go off the bottom use a worm blower on your worm, if you have access like a dock to walk out to deeper water, using a 1/16 ounce jighead with a worm and jigging it works great too
Shields lake? My wife used to live right down the street from there! Got my first top water bass at the pond
I always catch Trout on tiny spoons or spinners. Also bobby Garland OG shad

kastmaster has never failed me
For trout in stocked ponds i usually use salmon eggs or roe i fish them on a small slip float
Pink spinners and yellow spinners work good for trout
Corn, size 6 or 4 circle hook, 4Ib leader, and a bobber.
Put a worm on the hook and inflate it so it will float. If the fish came from a hatchery, use some hatchery bate. The fish are hungry. They will eat the right food.

Canned corn or worms always work with stockers.

Try bfs bro. I catch giants on rooster tails and sometimes get on a nice bite with a small jerkbait
That mouse tail was 100% sunken because of the jig hook you put it on
Use a bobber and worm or a small rooster tail. That ussually works for me
I luv ur vids, I always make sure to comment to push them!
Corn works amazingly as the fish are probably from hatcheries, as you said they were put in by the gov..
Nightcrawlers in 2ft to 5ft of water if they arnt hitting on the bottom put a bobber on and keep your bait just under the surface.
I tried to catch stockies too and had no luck
Use berkly mice tails, someone named like lip ripper or something has many good videos on them and even tho he seems like a goon he definitely knows his stuff
Pautzke's green label fireball salmon eggs 18 in below bobber. check the jar for juice inside to make sure they arent dry. 💥
Just a little patience goes a long way I’m sure you caught something
Give a try with 7-9CM long pink soft worms with light jig head on the bottom with slow moovements theres no way you cant catch a trout like crazy.
I know this spot! I fish here all the time, hopefully I’ll run into you one day!
Yes same like I can’t catch stocked trout to save my life
I always use a worm getting it as deep as I can and just letting it sit has always worked
Like earlier mentioned use small hook, and stock trout love bread
I’m the opposite 😅I can catch stocked trout all day but haven’t had as much success with the bass!! 😂
Your hooks and leader are huge. Try one of those size 12 or 14 treble hooks and 2lb test leader. Don't forget a net and an incredibly loose drag setting.

There’s a pond by my house that stocks trout during the spring and they tend not to be aggressive. I tend to get the most bites when using a #2 Mepps spinner or a worm that’s inflated with air (on a size 8 or smaller hook with a few split shots).
For the mouse tail bait, use a white power egg and a pink worm, they like that combo better

i find with powerbait doesn't work, a trout magnet with a bubble float or a pink or chartruese floating worm on a split shot rig to do the tricm
Ti 1:6 For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands. For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline
Use a 4-6 pound mono leader and smaller hooks
Use small crayfish and little hooks it works
I catch pond stocked trout with a size 8 bait holder hook a split shot about a foot above the hook and a single kernel of canned corn on the shank of the hook
I just started as well, caught my first trout the other day. Use a trout rig from Walmart to hold 2 hooks away from the line with a weight on the bottom
If they are stock trout they will bit corn,corn is the best for anything stock. Coming from personal experience.
The only people who can consistently catch stock trout are the ones that leave 30 fish heads and a can of corn when they leave.
They love rooster tails in my experience. And one of the best lures I’ve used that has always caught me a fish when I go out with it is a “Joe’s Fly: Muddler” trout, bass, and walleye always murder that thing.
Before using the hook for trout fishing always cut off or shape down the barbs
2 lb mono, cast close to bank, spray/coat your bait AND your leader with a scent spray or gel
Also, the reels you're using look like daiwa fuegos. They're great reels, but designed for inshore use and as a result have reeeeally strong drag systems. So when you switch to lighter lines make sure you set your drag properly, as the drag on that reel can very easily lock down and break light line.
They are vanfords
Good taste, same applies. Even the 2500 vanford is sitting between 15 and 20 lbs max drag if I remember correctly, you'll only want it set to around 4 lbs if that

Use small treble hooks and cover every part of the hook cause trout have good eyes
If it's the government putting them in there, I wouldn't eat any of them...
I catch a lot of trout where I’m at because they breed on the creeks here in wv try using garlic powder mixed with American cheese it works really well for trout
