im fishing some heavy weeds so i cant go tooo small.....im down to 4lb test....which is working....and size 10 hooks...which is the smallest ive ever used...except when im keeping them i use a size 18 treble....i found the way to get them is the first few seconds they hit it......and if my leaders long it seems to be harder to get a good hook set.......so i cant fish real deep either....and i found out to use less powerbait.....i was using a ton compared to what was needed.......dad caught more then me but he let them swallow the hooks too.....which is never good in troutfishing......90% of my hook sets were in the bottom of the mouth.....where our tounge is......dont know why.......dont know how.....should be in the top jaw.......theyd have to be feeding upside down.....i dont know.......but i am getting a little better.....maybe tomarow ill head back out......big weather front moving in late tomarow nite....they should be biting......hopefully.............thanx guys.......
