  Looks like you know where and how to fish for them. Can you get some live mullet? If so, I'll tell you how to catch some big Trout.

  Where are you fishing?
5. Aug, 21, 2017 Erin Coles 0
  Yeah and here they have to be 16 in. To keep this one was about 12. But I tell ya salt water fishing is so much more of a challenge for me. I love it!

  Good call.. For me though I might eat one if the lake or stream was clean enough... But my lake has signs all over it warning not to get the water in your mouth.... ...more Which is enough reason not to eat them lol

After 3 hours of fishing with live worms and nothing biting besides the crabs, I decided to try an artificial rattle shrimp. First cast, and caught this beauty. ...more 16 in. Speckled trout. And ya'll know what that means-- 16 inches and she's a keeper!

16 in. Spotted Seatrout with a Rattled Shrimp

  those are the best kind to catch....the ones big enough to legally keep, and not full of eggs.

  You won't be sorry. You'll see some larger trout too. So, hang on. It may take a few misses to get the hang of it. It did me. Be sure you count to 5 or even ...more ten, if they're taking it out slow, before pulling up on your rod.

  Awesome keith!!! Love this advice-- can't wait to try this!!!!

  Erin You need live finger mullet, 3-4" long. If you have an Academy, or Dicks Sporting Goods, buy some silver "chatter" weights, made here in Houston. ...more Buy the smallest silver weights, 5 to a pack. Tie on the weight to your fishing line, and use a 20 or 30 pound leader, about 20" long, with a 4.0 or 5.0 Circle hook for trout. Let the line sink to the bottom and hold your rod at about a 45 degree angle. Keep the line taught. When you feel the slightest bump, lower your rod tip in front of you and count to five. By then the trout should have sucked in the mullet and is moving away with it. Don't jerk your rod up too hard. Just pull back on it quickly and the fish hooks itself. Trout hate mullet because they eat their eggs. If a trout is near and sees a mullet swimming, it will attack it. If you jerk the rod back hard, sometimes you'll pull the mullet out of the trouts mouth. Good Luck.
