The secret to my success is fish like variety when it comes to food. Imagine yourself coming home after work and you have the same supper seven days of the week, wouldn’t you get bored of that in a hurry. It’s no different for trout either, so I like to give them a variety of bait to choose from even if I am having good luck with one specific lure. After all variety is the spice of life.

Tonight I started off with the Blue Fox Minnow Spinner, casted it into the first ten yards of water and on the forth cast I had a big fat Brown hit the lure. He missed it but I could see what type of fish he was, and how big he was. I then decided to give that spot a rest even though I just missed a 24-26 inch brown. The chances of him coming back for that again were low.

I proceeded to go further down stream with no luck so it’s time to switch to something else. I came back to the spot I started at and switched to the Berkley Frenzy. It’s now been about twenty minutes since I casted into that spot where I almost caught the big brown. On the very first cast with the Berkley Frenzy I hammered into a 23 inch Rainbow trout that fought extremely hard. He took three leaps out of the water and five minutes to land him. Then I went thirty yards down river and casted into some untouched water. Second cast with the Berkley and a 22 inch Brown completely destroys my lure. Release him and on the very next cast into the same piece of water, an even bigger Brown hammers on the Berkley Frenzy; a 23 inch fatty.

Then I decide to go and change my lure again as its almost dark by this time now. I put on a brown trout pattern Minnow Spinner and fish a little further down from where I pulled the two big browns from. Sure enough my trick works and I am hauling in my third big brown a 24 inch monster. He was feeding close to shore on minnows and he seemed to like what I was offering. I caught four more fish before packing up and going home for the night. In total I caught eight fish, one of which was only eight inches long but all the rest were over twenty inches long.

The moral of the story is, walk up and down the bank and make full use of the shore. Do not fish in one spot for over ten minutes, and give the fish your targeting lot’s of food to choose from, colors, and sizes, etc; who knows your might catch the fish of your lifetime this way. I know it works for me and there should be no reason why it cannot work for you too. Let me know how you made out with this system or any of your own systems. I need all the help I can get.
