Spin Fishing For Larger Trout

[mwfischer]

Ditto to what Phil said. "Learn to fish with jigs" This was the first year I committed to using a 1/8 or 1/4 oz jig on our yearly trip to Taney in March and when the fishing was good, I would consistently catch bigger (15-18") and one very nice 23" rainbow on a sculpin 1/8oz, while the rest of our group fished spoons and others and stayed in the 10-12" range of rainbows.

Very true about the 2# flouro or mono as well. Caught that 23" on 2# Berkeley Vanish (Best line I've ever used)

Jig Fish with meat candy! Also learn how to present it correctly. You can have 2 guys fishing the same jig but sometimes only one of them are catching that's because the one guy figured out the presentation.

I spin fish for trout using small jerk baits , rooster tails, and powerbait. Now when I fish I land alot of little ones and the occasional bigger one like 17 inches and up. Is their a way to target the larger ones of is it just a matter of whats around that day?

The new state record Brown was caught on power bait...

It's not that I don't like browns I just didn't go for them thought they were too hard to catch.I must admit I was to afraid to go to upper taney como and use bigger tackle . I guess that's just me . People love to give me nasty looks for not using a fly rod. I don't wanna be immature and give people the finger but its about to that point with these elitists . I feel the need to say something nasty but as a member of this forum i feel that i represent this forum and i should be polite. I would love to scream nasty stuff
