 |
|
Been fishing Twin lakes about once a week for the last month. Been staying mostly in West and have been doing very well. My buddy and I boat about 20 fish on avg. Mostly LMB with a pickerel or red eye mixed in. He's been working on his drop shot and I've been throwing the crank bait and spinner bait. I'm much more the power fisher even though sometimes I know it's not the right approach I still have trouble going to my finesse rigs. I like to consider myself a bass fisherman. With that being said does anyone have any tips on the trout in East I would really like to land a big boy. Or any tips on the Twins in general? iThanks

I saw some older fishermen trolling long trout rigs with lots of big spoons rigged to spin around their lines. They said that they troll at different depths until they find the trout.

The ole "blades and bait!"That may have been one of my grandfather's buddies.They bounce back and forth between there and Lakeville lake.Homemade Davis spinners tipped with either worms or minnows.
Usually down between 15 & 25 feet.You may pick up a Kokane in East Twin.

| For the trout, use a down rigger. Even a simple one will work, or a dipsy diver or jet diver (called the poor mans down rigger but it is very often the smart mans downrigger when they are on!). |

Don't forget about wire line and leadcore.

If you're trolling, I think that line visibility doesn't really matter. Like avidangler said, wire line and leadcore would work as well as anything else.

Drop shot a 2-1/2 inch Gulp! Minnow. Start at the east shore and work your way out into deeper water until you get away from the sunnies and find the trout.
