Arrived with my kayak around 6am to test out a new spoon and the rasticle. I trolled those for 1-2 hours with nothing to show for it. I switched over to trolling powerbait and still nothing. I then decided to cast and drift over the deep section on the north end. I had 2, maybe 3, nibbles and that was it. I have been to this lake twice with nothing to show for it. Anybody know what the rainbow trout at Lake Shoecraft like?

Fished there last week on Wednesday trolling wedding rings but had no luck. Then caught a few still fishing with worms in 20ft of water right at sunset

I limit out every time I go. I troll flashers and dodgers with wedding ring tipped with powerbait dough. Some times I just use powerbait with a very small weight and 5ft leader, either trolled or drifting

Thanks Guys!

Perhaps I was there at the wrong time! I will try your advice next time!

Riverhunter: what color PB are you using?

Try trolling in front or around the small creek that flows from lake Goodwin

Those fish there are really clean and some of the best trout I have eaten really nice pink meat. In fact my favorite lake to catch and keep trout for the smoker. I think it has something to do with water quality as I have trout with mouthfuls of daphnia
