my group likes trout, catching them, eating them, pretty much everything about them. they are harder to come by in the area we live than walleyes so they have that almost exotic type feel.

we have had our most success catching them by trolling around and hitting the likely spots and generally get strikes about where i think we should. we never really stopped and jigged in the school of fish when we caught one trolling, we would just make another trolling pass.

this trip i want to take more time to stop and jig for them once we find a school. ive always brought the baits i felt were necessary for this application, but havent really used them very much.

i bring 5" white fluke baits with 1/4 oz jigheads, 4" white/silver tube jigs, and a few heavy lipless cranks. ive pretty much only used them from shore with decent success.

do you guys ever stop and jig once you get a hit on a trolling pass? what do you use if you do?
