Hey everyone! I have been going to my local community pond (stocked with trout) a few times a week, and I've been working on catching more fish with lures. I have the best luck with Panther Martin lures. However, I've noticed that I catch way fewer fish than when I use powerbait. I don't like powerbait because the fish swallow it so much it's hard to get the hook out, and with lures it always just gets them right in the lip. I catch and release and very rarely keep anything I catch.
With that being said – any advise on catching more trout on lures? With the panther martins, I've tried spinning them fast/slow, high/low, but today I didn't catch a single fish. Usually I'll at least catch a few.
Any tips/tricks to get more bites? Appreciate any advise! Here is a picture of a beautiful brown trout I caught on Tuesday 🙂
Gear:
Scheels 6'6" ultralight rod
Pflueger President 25 reel
6lb mono line
Panther martin lures (mostly), sometimes jigs with a grub, kastmasters

If the water temps are 55ish and below try throwing silver blades and brighter colors, higher temps throw copper and darker colors. Early morning shade, try silver blades, same for dusk. Doesn’t always hold true but it works for me. I also keep some yo-zuri pins minnows
