Things You'll Need:
- Fishing Pole and Reel
- 18-24" 25 lb test mono filament
- Swivel
- Hook
- Split shot lead weight
- Live Shrimp
-
Step 1
First construct the trout fishing rig to catch the fish. Do this by attaching one end of the 18-24" mono filament line to the swivel.
-
Step 2
I like the Mustad 92671 2/0Next, tie the hook onto the other end of your mono filament trout rig.
-
Step 3
Now tie the swivel from your trout fishing rig to your the line on your fishing pole, I prefer 12 lb test on my reel for trout fishing to feel the bight better and catch more trout.
-
Step 4
Attach a split shot weight if need right above the swivel. If the wind is calm you do not need to do this. You want the bait to be as natural as possible. Only us the weight if you need it to cast. Trout like bait that is near the top of the water, not stuck on the bottom.
-
Step 5
Select the location you will fish. Trout like to stay around structures such as boat docks, bridges, and oyster bars. They also like to chase schools of bait fish. Fishing near one of these will greatly increase the amount of trout you will catch.
-
Step 6
Put a bait shrimp onto your hook. Make sure the shrimp is alive and active after you hook it if you want to catch more trout. Trout like live bait.
-
Step 7
Cast your line out and allow the shrimp to float as best as possible along the top portion of the water. When trout bite they will do so fairly hard. Do not wait long to set the hook with medium pressure to catch the fish.
-
Step 8
Now reel in your fresh trout and get ready to catch another by beginning at step 6.
