I was fishing power bait the wrong way . After watching this I went out this morning and caught three trout in an hour . Thank you
Same
Great video. "Nobody panic!” Cracked me up.
You are THE MAN Mr. Knigge. Thank you for the incredible instruction, guidance, and inspiration to get outdoors and adventure. I use the lessons learned from this channel, and I catch more fish because of what I learn here. Much love, thanks so much from Vancouver Island.
Last year I went fishing for trout and had a rough time. I've been following your videos since and have had great success. My entire setup was all wrong until I found you and your help.Rooster tails are my to go for trout in lakes and streams. Last week I caught 5 trout, 2 of which were 18" off rooster tails. My friends weren't sold on rooster tails until the end of the fishing trip when they had no luck, then switched to rooster tails and finally caught some trout. Thanks for the videos!
Over fathers day weekend, my dad, sister, mother and I caught a total of 17 trout on rooster tails. None were under 12 inches.They work wonders
I so enjoy watching. Especially when there's action and you almost miss it. Great work and education. Thank you.
I would like to dispute what you believe is the Top 3...the three you presented are helpful for stocked fisheries. i would add one of the most deadly and fun is a simple Ultra-light rod/reel, a Bubble and a Fly. 4lb test, 5 or 6x tippet...4ft, then a simple brass swivel. slide the Bubble above the swivel, tie on the swivel, tie on tippet then choice of fly. Smaller is better in a size 18 or 22. Fill the bubble half way with water. That allows for the weight needed to cast out a long way w/a Ultra Light. Vary the retrieve as you would a Lure. You can fis a dry fly or a wet, Dropper/Fly method. It's a great way for kids to have fun vs watching a pole with bait. Very nice video
Thank you for this video! I’m going trout fishing tomorrow for the first time and really appreciate this great information 👏🏻
The only video you'll ever need for lake trout fishing. Thanks boss. New sub. Great vids
Just landed my first rainbow trout after watching your vids. Great advice, thanks a bunch
Glad to see that I'm not the only one who get excited when the tip bends. Fun video!
Another great video Jordan
I haven't had luck w spinners until last month. Panther Martin have been saving me.thanks so much sir for getting me into this hobby
Thank you for the effort you put into these videos! They’ve been a huge help.
Love your enthusiasm and the reality of fishing.
beauty of fresh water the trout..amazing work
I’ve been having really good results with little Cleo’s this year!
We def gotta get more bass fishing on the channel! I’d watch the tournaments for sure.
Nice to be able to have 2 rods in the water and experiment with different presentations. Great video!
all three of those spinners, with variety of them all are always in my tackle box!
Great video for setup of all three methods!
I’m going fishing and camping next month, wish me luck!!😀
I use casting bubbles with the the rubber band inside. however, I definitely have to stock some of the floats that you have deminstrated ! Informative video, thanks!
Good video man. You explained everything pretty clear for a rookie like me. Thanks 🤟
I tried your brads killer cut plug method and caught my second best trout 6lbs. Thank you
Classic Jordan at the end of the video. Had me rolling when he got all tangled up. Ive been getting "bent up" so much more often now that I'm an ADX and watch all of these videos. Going to try to get a Salmon tomorrow. Wish me luck?!?!
Great guide Jordan 👍
Thanks for the info
I love going to the river and catching fish on dry flies but there’s something simply beautiful about using powerboat on the lake. It always reminds me of fishing with my dad growing up. Now I take him to the lake and we just enjoy watching the ospreys flying around catching fish and looking at the mountains
Thank you!
You gave me complete help on the attach worm to hook part. Personally I don't use scissors to cut my work I just rip them with my hands but I never used the hole wear it was ripped to insert the hook. I would just hook the worm on and I feel like that is the main reason why my worms always get taken.
Nothing like just hanging by the water with a couple drinks and a good snacklebox, and got some powerbait under a float just watching the trees and wildlife 🔥🎣
Agreed!
Really great info. Thanks!
A lot of fun 🐟
Awesome vid!!
I like the way you put the rubber on the bobber ends.
Great video man 🙌🏽
I want to go fishing now this is awesome
I don't think I've seen any panfish on the channel before. I still love playing with them. When I'm hanging out at the lakes here in AZ I like to wade out with my tenkara rod and go to town on some gills and sunnies. I only really get to fish for trout in the winter unless I travel north. The Lower Salt River gets stocked with some really nice trout during the winter here.
Great video. Thank you.
Great tutorial
Last time we took all the kids fishing they were so excited that two of the them fell into the lake. I should have yelled NO BODY PANTIC !!
My friends and I went fishing the other day and caught 11 trout using all 3 methods you showed.
this time the beauty of fresh water catch...amazing wok
Love the content man! I’m in Las Vegas and just learning to fish. Floyd Lamb Park in the NW stocks the lakes with fish.
Jordan’s knowledge is unmatched. It always amazes me when he sets the hook too quick and loses good sized fish though haha! He’s so eager lol
Awesome videos !!!
Don't forget to check if your power bait floats before you toss it out.
My favorite rooster tail is the rooster tail minnow line. They seem to get hit so hard and they have a great flash because of the flakes and the minnow profile and eye design. I like to use an all fluorocarbon 4lb test line because it doesn't float and I use a snap swivel to reduce the line twist. I don't see any issues with fish being spooked by the snap swivel where I fish.
My goto lures are the kastmasters and krocodiles in natural colors such as silver, copper, gold, and or the half and halfs like silver and red, blue, orange, and green theres also the fire perch color works pretty well. Never really been a hue fan of rooster tails but sometimes theyre the only thing that will get bites and its always the glittery orange one with either a silver blade or a gold blade.
Cracking vid the diffrent types of yer methods were interesting you also could use live maggots and brandling worms which are lethal for the trout and other spieces the brandlings you will have to dig in well mature farm manure stinky job but worth it thats what we us in Scotland keep up yer guid work thanks.
Another good tactic is instead of power bait you can thread a crawler on your hook and blow some air in it so it floats off the bottom.
Do u ever use a worm threader they’re great
10:30 😅 "Nobody panic"😂😂
If my memory serves me correctly, y'all seem to be fishing Kress lake out in Kalama. I go there often and never get anything, hopefully I can use these techniques and do better next time.
Never give up. Never surrender🤣
Almost as chaotic as me. I love it.
Is there a good way to gauge water depth/grass when setting up your weight?
I fished on a lake last summer exactly like that. You never see a trout jumping. I tried everything, inflated worm from the bottom, powerbait, spinners (all kind), floats with worm and nothing. The only fish you catch there are rudd fish and sometimes chubs. I get the feeling that there were no trout left in there (there is a pike problem, but nobody is able to cath them as well). If i change my location I catch plenty of fish. Thank you for the tips!
I fish that lake all the time. Has some great catfish there as well!
Mind sharing which lake that is?
Jordan maybe I missed it but what size rooster tail do you use great video ag.
I'm pretty bad with knots and have started using the Tie Fast Knot tool so that I can use nail knots or double nail knots to secure bumpers and lures. Hav you ever used that knot or tool?
Ps, I use casting bubbles with dry flys matching the hatch!
Hello, i went to your website to buy some of those in line floats...but i cant find them...i only see Balsa float fixed system...are they same? Thank you
Really enjoyed your video. Do you mind? What state are you in?
Do you recommend flicking the rod while using spinner bait to add a extra action to the bait spinners?
my dear friend, no need thick line, use special spinner baitlock to stop tangle.
That’s exactly how I put my worms on the hook. Most people put a whole worm my grandfather told me when I was young you only need half a worm or less you’ll still catch them, and you can catch more using less 👍
I've been looking at buying the Okuma C30 but I am confusing myself reading the breakdown on it. Can you set it up just like this video with the 20 lb. braid ? It says 130 yards 8 LBs. I was reading it as alot lighter . My other reel I used a lighter braid and its pretty nice but I do find it more difficult to work with knots and its difficult maneuvering through my fingers. thanks for the great videos!
Does the high vis line not affect the bite at all I always thought you had to have all light line especially for stocked trout?
Was this a light or ultra light rod?
When fishing with an egg/bullet sinkers, do you keep the bail open or light drag or normal drag for the trout to run a bit with a floating bait? 🐡
do you guys have any starter type kits for trout? it'll be cool if yall did cause then i wouldnt confused on all the weird stuff that they sell
Maybe a dumb question, but in your bait method with a float, are you using the same 6-10 ft bumper that you had in the spinner setup and then connecting that to another 1-2 ft bumper with a swivel. Or going from braid to 1-2ft bumper
What model jacket do you have on buddy?
HEY HEY HEY!!!!!
Do u not like using the guide select pro for throwing spinners??
what size barrel swivel
Do spinners work for stocked trout in lakes?
Going camping and hiking up to a small lake tomorrow, thanks for the inspo 🌲⛺️🏔
Does the color of the water make a difference in what color of lure to use
I would do a 4 to 6 pound leader for Clearwater you could probably get away with 8 to 10 pounds murky water
Does the power bait float?
Is that Kress Lake?
I use 4 pound mono never had any problems
Ayyye wassup
Add an inflated crawler,to the same Carolina rig.Tight lines to you all.
So with spinners you don't use any weight? I'm having a hell of a time getting my lure any distance out into the lake with just the spinner on the line.
Are you using 2000 lb test or what?
Where in washington state is this lake, please help...
NOBODY PANIC!
Had my rod prompted on my open tackle box on a little ledge about 2 feet above the lake surface,on the shore. Pretty slow day, wasn't really paying attention. Heard a commotion behind me. Turned around to find my rod about 2/3 feet out in the lake, along with my tackle box and most of my tackle. Jump in grab the rod. Fish still there 14/15 rainbow. Ate him for supper that night.
I never set my line tight! I always leave a small bend in the line. I watch the line, not my rod. when the line stars to pick up, you have activity!
Let's goooo I'm first 🥇😅
Adule learners need to be told why. You missed with the first reel you described. Why is it a good reel?
I've seen you use a size 4 hook before. Why so large a hook?
👍👍
Why do you not pull really with a bobber to hook the fish?
Because you want to make sure the fish have inhaled the bait. When you feel the weight and fish swimming then set it. Remember the bait is floating and weightless not like bottom fishing with sliding weights at the bottom.
I didn't know Theo van fishes😂
If you want to fish for cats leave bail open let them run with it i fish for trout same way it’s like insurance they run with it in case you miss or can’t set hook. But trout usually are ok like you don’t have to set hook cause they like to swallow
Where are you located?
You must wet your hand before you grab a trout or it will probably die.
t drop bobber and a dry fly alwasy works fr me
Uhhhh can I just use mono line? I'm not into all that fancy shmancy line...
Yep
