I did really well last weekend going with the old favorite an bright red f4 flatfish with a tiny egg weight (just to get it down a little maybe 3-5 feet) ahead of the swivel and a 3 foot leader tipped with a piece of nightcrawler it slayed them....I mean like 25 planters in no time all released...I am going to throw on a single hook to see if that gives better hooksets i dunno about that treble hook they come with

just take half a worm, hook it on the bottom rear hook, squirt some stink oil on the whole works, throw it in the water, and drag it about 50 yds behind your boat at about a good walking pace.

I got a tackle box of gear that has worked once or twice, but the set up that almost always produces fish either wild or stocked is a WORM!!

Troll it or sink it.

My favorite trout trolling list:

Black size 6 Woolly Bugger
Green Perch size 70 Hot Shot
Frog F4 Flatfish

All 3 of these, I've found, are most effective when trolling VERY slow. I kick around in my float tube, but its like I'm waling really really slowly.

With the woolly bugger, I'll put line floatant (available in the fly-fishing section of all sporting goods stores) on the first 50-75 feet of main line, Then a small barrel swivel (size 12 or smaller), a 2 or 3 foot leader, then the wooly bugger. The line floatnat will keep it from sinking too far down.

Both the Flatfish and Hot Shot have a tendency to barrel-roll if you go to fast. Both have lots of action even when you are going slow. Its a test of patience, it real easy to go fast trying to cover water, but its more effective if you work each part thoroughly.
