It's too bad the other website had to close. We do need a fishing website with no politics here in SoCal.

Re: Lake Poway trout season is still on!
Mini jigs seem to work best overall for me. Get a light pole with 2-3lb test line and cast different colored mini jigs, 1/16 or 1/32 oz.fishingisfun wrote: ↑Sat Apr 08, 2023 9:23 pm any recommendations for fishing setups for trout? Might check it out soon
Some use spinners and powerbait as well. Sometimes I use the powerbait setup as shown on the picture:
Adjust the leader length depending on the lake depth and conditions, normally between 1 and 4 feet.
Be sure that you put enough bait on the hook so that it floats and not just falls to the bottom.

Re: Lake Poway trout season is still on!

Re: Lake Poway trout season is still on!
6lb line is pretty heavy and you want to cast out as far as possible.fishingisfun wrote: ↑Sun Apr 09, 2023 5:57 pmFor mini-jig, is 6lb mono line okay? And any tips on casting it further?

Re: Lake Poway trout season is still on!
Any tips on boating for trout? Should I troll? Or just try to find schools swimming around? I haven't caught a solid trout in like 3 years at poway lol.
Re: Lake Poway trout season is still on!
I agree 6# mono is way heavy for such light jigs. Most use 2lb mono or braid. They're not going to cast super far regardless but i can't imagine them going very far with 6#fishingisfun wrote: ↑Sun Apr 09, 2023 5:57 pmFor mini-jig, is 6lb mono line okay?

Does the C-Rig setup apply if you're fishing from one of the boats?
