I kept calling it powerbait but it was Powerbait Honey Worms LOL. Normally I used Gulp Honey Worms which are biodegradable and catch more fish (IMO) but Berkley no longer sells them in the US, only in Europe. Good to see someone from the Great White North. Brr...
Nic to see some trout. Interesting method. I use a size 16 treble and a hook disgorger so I don’t have any mortality except for the frying pan. If your Powerbait dries out just add a few drops of water and let it sit for a day and it will be like brand new
I've seen your videos where you use the disgorger but thought it worked because of the bigger fish you have up north. Some people told me not to use treble hooks for catch and release but I'll try it out since you've been using them. Thanks for the tip and the one for Powerbait!
If you use the power eggs, always use 3 eggs up the shaft of the hook. One egg on/past the eye of the hook. You WILL gut hook your trout, but only larger trout will take it. I have never caught anything below 12 inches with 3 power eggs. Small fish can't swallow larger baits. (I keep what I catch)
Good to know since smaller than 12 inch isn't worth the time to clean and cook in the first place. What size hook are you using? I assume a simple straight shank hook.
@@FishTalk-Os Snelled hook size 2. Growing up, the fisherman I learned from were just other fisherman giving their own interpretation on what "Good advice" was. Some were valid, others were just superstitious nonsense. However, through trial and error, I slowly began to mold an understanding to what was effective. A saltwater trick I learned as well is that the Texas rig works great for flounder fishing, and not only for Bass.
Agree with you on the Texas rig for flounder as I've used it. There's a lot of advice there but you just have to test out what works best for you and your style of fishing and where you're fishing. Lots of lures and rigging can be used for multi-species. I've caught everything including offshore snapper on dead shrimp and lots of types of fish including a catfish using the Bomber Long A14. Thanks for sharing!
Never seen anyone drop shot powerbait, it would work though. Thanks for posting. Shout out from Canada!

Always like watching your videos, looks like a beautiful calm day.
Thank you. It was a nice day to be out. Other than the road noise, Skyline Pond's rugged terrain makes you forget you are still inside the city.
