Live bait yes... shrimp under cork yes.. but I also believe bigger trout eat fish more so than shrimp, just my opioion on what works for myself..but cut bait? Not saying it doesnt happen just sayin 8 trout over 27 in a yr is a crazy yr.. I need a yr like that.. I just want 1 over 30 and im good for life.. Alot of my spots I anchor and fish its like fishing in a barrel on lower tides

Ladyfish, ladyfish and more ladyfish, last year was very unusual year for Guana Lake. Somebody left the gate open and let in a huge school of small ladyfish. They were mostly between 5" to 10" long and quickly became the trouts favorite thing to eat. You could either catch them with a cast net or my favorite a small top water plug. I usually bottom fished with a #3 red circle hook
with 2" to 3" of cut bait.
By the end of the summer, most of the lady fish were gone and I went back to using a skitterwalk which is also very effective(thanks Chappy).
BTW, you can check out my posts from last year, I think I posted everything over 25". We will have to find out what they will hit this year, I expect it will be live or cut mullet, the lake is full of them right now.

thanks, C.

Well that 31 incher you caught would be on my wall so quick... Hell the 29 I got is gonna be on my wall.. Hope one day I will have a school of trout on my wall starting at 29 going on up..

Once again Mike, i agree. Said this on a similar post and i'll say it again. "Why match the hatch when you can just use the hatch?"
