I caught a rainbow trout at Quarry Lakes in Fremont California with powerbait using same setup and the guy next to me caught a 10 lb catfish using the same setup I'm not sure about what type of power bait but it was powerbait

Great video man. I’ll be supporting

Another great classroom discussion professor

In the morning I let it float. Mid day I put a split shot a little above the powerbait to make it sink just a bit. worked out great.

Professor your videos have made me a better fisherman proof got a seven pound rainbow on Father’s Day weekend at lake Mary in mammoth calif thanks 🤓

I always used powerbait to catch steelhead and salmon returning from the ocean. Not the most glamorous but it worked. Any fish raised in a hatchery will eat it. Farm raised catfish love it too.

🤠👍🤯 I don't do much stock fishing but when I do!!

Great video, have used alot of power bait. At time the power eggs seem to work better, theyre less likely to come off.

Never saw powerbait fished like this. I've been using it for long time and always keep some for when the fish won't bite anything else. I use about a third or maybe even a quarter of the amount that you are using rigged on a modified Carolina style rig. Never fished it in moving water, only lakes and ponds around here. most of the larger fish i've caught were on the smallest amounts of bait. Only exceptions was a 9.4lb trout I caught on a cast master and a 6.6lb trout on some Salmon eggs. Nice to see a different approach.

i like the show

What size circle hook?

I’ve actually caught a ton of brook trout on powerbait. I don’t know why they would like it so much considering their nature but there are still some days when the only thing I can catch them on is the powerbait. It definitely not browns or tigers. They won’t seem to touch this stuff with a 6 foot pole lol

Wow man, you use very thick line

What line type were u using

💥

What rig are you using? Rod? And reel?

Trout just love colors lol. Pinks their favorite lol

What's the rod a reel name

Lol ... thank you I just took power bait off my list for brown trout & brook . You saved me some $$$. Your a God send fella , thank kindly. Sincerely Mike

Nice video very informative what type and size of circle hook are you using

When you're catching fish do you flatten the Barb so that you can get the hook out easier

try using mini jigs its easy to C&R

What circle hook are you using? I can't get the Mustads anymore.

back in late 80s caught a 2 ft steelhead with chartreuse power bait in elk creek erie pa.

More than stalked trout eat powerbait. I've caught over 20 species of fish on powerbait. It's the scent that sells the bait. Not the shape, so the hatchery pellet theory people try and sell is false in my opinion. Especially since alot of people make there powerbait in worm shape now. fish rarely care about shape. Most of them species where wild such as lake trout and mountain whitefish, Bull trout, dolly varden etc etc.. Good video though. Thanks for posting. Tight lines.

I never catch anything with powerboat. But I also hardly ever use it.

Does flavor of powerbait make a difference or is it just different colors?

What size line you normally use?

9/10 times I get gut hooks with power bait going for stocked fish

Medium power rod?

You need to use less powerbait and you need to give the bait time in the water because the fish always dose not hit it right away

In my state. If your fishing with bait for trout the 1st 5 you catch regardles of kept or not is your limit. Lose the bait and you can cnr all day

Power bait in Oregon rivers is the best! Caught 9 Rainbows in 1 hour! Let it float with the current and you got yourself a fish.

Those hatchery pellets get soaked and sink eventually...

Where is this?

Why oh why if you know you don't intend to keep the fish don't people squeeze the barb flat? It makes it so much easier to remove the hook. Although they fight like hell, trout are quite delicate when being handled.

Trout feed pellets do not float at all.

I don't think using Powerbait is cheating or anything like that, but I just don't enjoy fishing with it personally. Using a treble hook is amateur hour.

your bait doesn't float

I’ve seen tons of brooks and browns caught on power bait. Some being native. Not calling you a liar but seems like miss leading information.

Where's the challenge in catching hatchery fish with bait similar to hatchery food? Might as well raise the trout in a home aquarium and catch them there. I intentionally will not use bait similar to hatchery food, depending more on skill and knowledge of fish in a natural habitat instead.

"Im a pro" catches one fish. lol

Get some lures or a fly rod and learn to fish. This crap just kills fish.
