I was convinced until I heard “seltzer”

Depending on how they were raised, I usually find stocked trout taste like mush. Wish they tasted like wild ones 😩

As a fellow stock trout fisher, canned corn also works very well

"Watch as I turn this GUY into caviar..." yeah, something tells me that's not gunna workout the way you think... lol

“Crack a seltzer and watch the Sunrise.” Was upset about the seltzer choice until I realized it was morning drinking. Then I gained all respect back haha

Ohhhh.... he said seltzer!!!

Love how he’s drinking before the suns even up😂

Been using power eggs for twenty years. Stocked or lake trout still love them. One chartreuse and one orange gets them every time.

I make my own steelhead caviar but I don’t eat it. I use it for bait.

Loving that rod rest bro! Haha

My dad used to take me fishing all the time since I was 5 years old till maybe 16-17 and Im really bummed out he never takes me anymore and your channel convinced me Im going to get a kayak a good rod and go get em. Love your channel

I remember fishing in a public military stocked pond. There was Golden trout in there and I remember catching that lunker as a kid. Special moment that day. Was using power bait as well.

Love the trout videos

This the guy who eats the 8” stockers right when the truck drops them off😂.

i agree 100%! powerbait is absolute killer for the stocked trout. yellows and greens seem to work consistently for me.

You can also use power bait for smaller fish to like crappie and bluegill

Pretty sure your rooster tail identifies as a Panther Martin ..

Tell me y I’m jealous of the old tht Trout looked like it was fire

Enjoy the sunrise!! Well said… I love fishing trout

dude i just got into fishing and i turn to your chanel for literally everything i need to know about fishing

Sick

That first in-line spinner that was in the trouts mouth when you first started talking about the bait to use, I have that too and just used it I caught a pretty big pond monster

What an absolute fucking inspiration, I’m from Boston been watching u fish since less then 1k followers ur following my dream and I haven’t even started but definitely going to start soon

Lmao "seltzer"

Crack open a seltzer 😭

The gods are rolling over in there Graves Seltzer? Powerbate? Pole holder from Walmart? We're all doomed!

Love some good ol Massachusetts content. Keep up the goof work

You can tell his personality by “seltzer”

I'm Princeton is this is super useful, glad to see another masshead on here

Thanks bro, Caught my first trout with this setup a nice 6 pound brown trout!

Trout fishing will forever be my favourite type of fishing

Absolutely love your technique! Also that was a beautiful fish!

Yessir SELZER GANG!!

“You ever tried making your own caviar?” I initially took this the wrong way…

Loved how he left the zip tie on like all of us whos got one 😂😂

I have also found that stocked trout go nuts for the off brand fire tiger ratl-traps. Only try it if you want to keep the fish tho because the hooks will sometimes end up fatally hooking the fish

Rainbow power bait with glitter is the best 👍...just be sure to wash off any scent from your hands before finishing

My now passed grandfather didn't like the taste of stocked trout, and he showed me all the little local holes under bridges and tucked back in the game lands where we pulled out nice native rainbows Everytime. They usually don't get as big but they taste so good.

Extreme philly fishing has a great video on why power bait works so well and the history of trout fishing I highly recommend it.

I live in Washington state but the climate is essentially the same so I’m definitely going to be trying to do more fishing using these tips. Thanks for them buddy

That is a Professional Alcoholic right there 💯

Yup powerbait i got a 23 1/2 rainbow on Monday on those yeellow magnum eggs.

I love this guy his content is very good.

I really like trout fishing but one of the bad things is I don’t like going early in the morning

You need to have some 15 mins long vid bro i need to watch you fish so satisfying Especially on those moonwalker lures need to watch you fish with that

“This guy” is holding eggs like are you serious

Seltzer? I think you mean beer.

*hears seltzer, checks comments

Gut the first one you catch .. through out thet guts ..perfect bait ❤ good advice

Ayeee Mass shit haha🤙 nice vid

I like how he shows his pole holder and still proceeds to use a stick.

Lightly breaded and pan fried trout roe is SO GOOD!

This dudes just out there for the white claws

MA represent! Nice tip man, I have noticed after awhile they get off the powerbait, and chase lures more!!!

We have three stocked trout ponds(only rainbow) ponds here just outside of St. Peter, MN & while people do use power baits, the 2 go to baits are crappie minnows & wax worms! ALWAYS bring both cuz one day they’ll be biting on minnows & switch to wax worms the next, or even switch throughout the day.

I remember me and my dad back in the day we went to an area that after a while had to start being stocked with fish. My dad's been in angular basically all of his life and he's been teaching me for very long time as well. One thing he knows though is that powerbait is stupidly effective at getting fresh plants. Even compared to a lewer. They don't see shiny things yet as possible food so brightly colored round objects is stuff that they were being fed at the Hatchery. Guys would be sitting next to as dumbfounded as they were sitting there not getting a single bite on their line for hours while we would limit out within the hour. And that's exactly what we use that bright yellow green powerbait.

I've not used powerbait dough for about 5 years, I found out about Mouse tails which are amazing for still fishing.

Carolina rig is 👍 I'm in lakes region NH it's a quick trip between lakes, ponds, rivers and brooks. Good variety of conditions and species.

Just a tip, if you use the Carolina rig out a bead after the swivel to prevent the swivel from breaking

Well… I’ve always used whole kernel canned corn😅 looks just like that power bait, but you can buy a whole can for less than a dollar 😂😂 and it’s worked incredibly well

This does work. I used this rig in Oregon and caught rainbow trout. When it was suggested to me I was wary at first but I was wrong

Fish: AHHHHH *GASP FOR AIR* UGGGAAAAAAAAHHHH * GAAAAAASP*

When I was younger at the Springfield sportsman’s show trout pond, my dad would help me and other kids “fix our bait”. He had powerbait in his pocket and smeared it on all the kids hooks when nobody looked 😂

Toss gravel out, makes the same sound there used to being feed

Was getting ready to say NO ITS POWERBAIT.. lmao he knows his stuff

That caviar looked 👍🏻… trout season coming to an end here in coachella valley 😞

Power bait definitely works in Massachusetts. One downside is the vicious little snappers love that and I hate unhooking a snapper. Especially those little 5lb ones.

I always include a bead between the weight and the swivel just to add that extra protection for the knot!

that caviar looks sooo godly

That powerbait looks like tennis balls for infants.

Up here in Manitoba I just use rigs and sit on my trustee boat, up here in the lake I fish in we range from little 14" rainbows to big 22" ones.

In SE Tennessee while visiting during the summer we just used corn.

I use neon glowballs at Bennett springs here in Missouri and they are very effective

Wow, I always used to throw the egg heavy ones back. Gotta play the long game if you want to catch wild born next year

Oh yes.. the Carolina Bait with the Snibbler Snapsnibble!

There’s some sort of secret formula with powerbait, where, it has an extreme similarity to what they feed trout in hatcheries.. this is why powerbait is effective for stocked trout since it resembles what they’ve grown up on, and even works months after trout of settled from their stock.

I would recommend corn, in Illinois corn works just as good as power bait but it's 1/5th the price

Try using a Carolina keeper it allows you to adjust leader with out having to break line and retie I was skeptical at first and I use 2lb line and I never have issues

Power bait works all year round! Green when the water is below 65 degrees and orange for 70+

Bro you need to come to slida in Colorado man it osome there a festive 4th of July

My dad said only trust a man when the first thing he does in the morning is make a bourbon and coke

Being from California, I’m a master at trout fishing and when we moved to Georgia, a 5lb catfish almost stole the whole pole from me so yeah👍

A seltzer??

Bread lightly fry and pink caviar is great

Here in Kentucky they hit spinners for first month or so and then after a month or so they hit live bait from meal worms to minnows

I love the trout. Mainly catch and cook.

Garlic power bait can't go wrong with stocked trout 👌

We always used the salmon eggs to catch trout pautzkes green label the Berkeley ones will work too

Bro drinking seltzer💀

Orange and pink mixed colored powerbait is the ultimate stocked trout bait, forget that yellow/green crap

You had me until you said crack open a seltzer lol. Crack open a beer.

In Rhode Island enjoying the new ones!!!

Stocked trout should be cleaned (especially the bloodline, gills removed, but leave head on) scaled, washed THOROUGHLY with cold water, dried with paper towels, rubbed with salt and then dry aged on a wire rack horizontally with the belly flaps out to the side like a butterfly for at least 5 days. Put the rack over a pan filled with baking soda. Makes them absolutely amazing. Meat gets firm, oils come out and the taste develops to something close to a great quality salmon.

I use a long liter at the end with a #18 tremble hook.

I was literally thinking to attach a little piece of trout dough to my baits because they would probably be attracted a lot more!

The thing that gets done for me it was the seltzer 😍🔥🤩🙏🏼

That man's face did not look like he was enjoying it at all lol

PLEASE don’t just discard your old used power eggs where you fish. True Story: I was fishing one day, and an Environmental Police officer (Game Warden) was picking them up along the shoreline of the Swift River (here in the Bay State). When I ask what he was doing, he said they had just wrapped up a study that found it only takes TWO power eggs to kill a duckling, and ask that I pass the word. So here I am, passing it on…. (Now, I put the used ones in an old Power Egg jar, then dump them in a campfire every now & then.)

I've been doing this for years, I call it my "cheater bait" work's almost every cast, the feed these trout eat are dyed a light brown, yellowish color and about the same size, soon as they see the splash from the weight they go for it, learned reaction.
