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

Trout are some of the smartest fish you can catch you have to use tiny hooks and really small test line

I’d recommend a worm. I have a stocked trout lake that always produces if you use a simple worm and a bobber.

Make sure your bait is floating the hook aswell!

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

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

Hey... I have some luck on spinners sometimes. You could also try fly fishing.

Try pickled corn usually works very well

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.

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.

Yin been on point with the loops lately

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

Try bread or corn and use a smaller hook u should get em caught a brown today on bread and a tiny bobber

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

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

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

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

Yo use tiny hooks and also use minnows as bait u can use a bobber or real it super slow with a weight

I luv ur vids, I always make sure to comment to push them!

I tried to catch stockies too and had no luck

love the channel and the i just started fishing yesterday i caught my pb 5 pound bass

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

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

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

Use a bobber and worm or a small rooster tail. That ussually works for me

i dont know if it will make a difference but try corn, like a piece or two on just like a regular blue gill hook

You have to be willing to accept not catching a fish while also being optimistic.

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.

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!

If you’re using braid you should try to put a 4-6lb fluro or mono leader should help you with bites

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.

My advice would be a small treble hook and lead bait. And make sure it's floating

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.

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

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

You’ll get em next time I always skunk in my pond

Also canned sweet corn is unbeatable for stocked trout.

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❤❤

In my local pond we use light Carolina rigs with yellow power bait or corn but the weirdest one is marshmallows

I make my own in-line spinners and we catch so much rainbows on them

When powerbait, spinners, and artificial baits let me down.. I throw a meal worm or red worm 🪱🎣

Yooo my guy!!! Hair is lookin greeeat!!

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

For trout in stocked ponds i usually use salmon eggs or roe i fish them on a small slip float

I love your videos

For the mouse tail bait, use a white power egg and a pink worm, they like that combo better

Corn, size 6 or 4 circle hook, 4Ib leader, and a bobber.

Use small treble hooks and cover every part of the hook cause trout have good eyes

kastmaster has never failed me

Love your videos

My secret bait is salmon roe you can buy it in containers at most tackle stores

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

Completely cover the hook in power bait so you can see any of the hook just the line sticking out of the powerbait

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 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.

If you use mouse tail make sure it floats. Carolina rig. Small mosquito hook

You will get ‘em try Rapala countdown no power bait !

Use mini jigs or hookup baits on 2-4# line an Ultralight jig your slack and keep your line straight

I always use a worm getting it as deep as I can and just letting it sit has always worked

Just use worms LOL. Much more efficient than powerbait. If you’re gonna use powerbait, use smaller hooks and tie a hair rig

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

That mouse tail was 100% sunken because of the jig hook you put it on

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

A three hooked blinker is the best for trouts !!

Corn works amazingly as the fish are probably from hatcheries, as you said they were put in by the gov..

Shields lake? My wife used to live right down the street from there! Got my first top water bass at the pond

Yes same like I can’t catch stocked trout to save my life

Canned corn or worms always work with stockers.

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

I always catch Trout on tiny spoons or spinners. Also bobby Garland OG shad

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).

Use minnows for stocked trout. They go crazy for them.

Use a 4-6 pound mono leader and smaller hooks

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.

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.

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 know this spot! I fish here all the time, hopefully I’ll run into you one day!

Try the yellow cheese power bait , I went to a spot watched everyone catching their limit and I didn’t get none . Switched to the cheese and it worked good

Nice pond! I I bet you will catch then next time!

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

You should use what the farms use to food them

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.

You need to use worms if you’re going to catch trout

2 lb mono, cast close to bank, spray/coat your bait AND your leader with a scent spray or gel

Power bait is one of my favorite fish bait smells

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

Like earlier mentioned use small hook, and stock trout love bread

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 🤟🏼

Use small crayfish and little hooks it works

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.

Use pink and orange power bait me and my fam always catch stuff on that

Before using the hook for trout fishing always cut off or shape down the barbs

Pautzke's green label fireball salmon eggs 18 in below bobber. check the jar for juice inside to make sure they arent dry. 💥

Try bfs bro. I catch giants on rooster tails and sometimes get on a nice bite with a small jerkbait

Yooooooooooooo I have the same bag for my fishing bag!!!!!!😂😂😂

try wax worms works every time and pink trout magnets

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

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
