Been talking a lot of fishing with my son. He is ready to quit shooting geese and ducks and start slinging his rod. Thinking about a trout trip to start us off.

What other kinda fish would you compare it to eating wise? Always found it strange that my state is so close to Missouri and Kansas, yet we do not have that species of fish in abundance anywhere near me... what is so different east of the Mississippi? |

My girlfriend originally wanted to go to Mexico for a vacation. I had been trying to convince her to go to Italy. I have a few friends that have been all over Europe and they said Croatia is one or the most beautiful places in the world, so we looked it up and decided this was a place for an unforgettable experience. We are going to fly into Split (croatia) and going to travel down to podgorica (montenegro). figure i can find a fishing charter along the way.

This thread has me wanting to go fishing. My dad and I are looking at a trout trip. A small lake near me stocks them this time of year. I've never been. What tackle should I be using?

Use spinning gear, with a Light or Ultra-Light Rod, between 6 or 7 feet long. I use monofilament line or fluro line, between 4 and 6 pound test. Don't go over 6 pound test with trout, they actually have fairly decent eyesight and they get spooked easily. Small egg type hooks will suffice #4 to #8 size. Now, if you are using dough style baits, the trout will always swallow the hook...so I usually rig up several leaders using monofiliment, ranging anywhere from 3 to 5 feet long, with a hook on one end and a snap on the other. Then just tie on a swivel or another snap to your combo and when you get a fish, it's as simple as unsnapping the leader and throwing the fish on the stringer, then you just snap on another leader and bait and you are good to go. I just use a simple split shot rig and a bell, you don't really need much of a weight, a few split shots on the line will work. DO NOT USE A FLOAT IF YOU ARE USING FLOATING DOUGH BAIT. It defeats the purpose. I usually use Rainbow Colored Berkley Power Bait, the one with Garlic. It works great. I have also used Berkley floating corn nuggets (garlic flavored) and the floating Dough Bait that simulates hatchery pellets (it's brown) with good success. You can use small worms such as meal worms and regular earthworms, but you will need a float to determine where in the water column the fish are...but again, I have such great luck with the floating dough style baits, that I rarely do it that way. I just stick to my split shot rig and leader method with a bell. I have also used Mepps or Panther Martin inline Spinners, Kastmasters, Phoebes, with success if you want to go the lure route. As for cleaning the fish, I usually just gut and scale them, fry 'em up with the skin on, but you can filet the bigger ones. Pretty dang tasty. ![]() Last edited by chinaski; 01-22-2017 at 11:03 AM.. |

2 things....
Yesterday, Jan 21, It was 60 degrees while felling trees and cutting firewood. As I tractored across the pond dam, I saw turtles sunning on a tree that lays in the pond. Nor sure if turtles in MO know ther is a January. Second...just scored a 3 wt, old school, fiberglass fly rod. Bluegills on a 3 wt will be wonderful fun. Thats all

I'm going on my annual trout trip to the White River in Ar pretty soon. Been going for many years. We go last week of Feb, which is sort of a mixed bag weather wise, but there aren't many fishermen out, so that is nice. I use a gold Poebe from Acme lure company and pretty much outfish everyone else out there. Most guys use cleos or jigs. Some guys use corn or powerbait, but that's a pain in the ass if you ask me.
