I have been having a blast the past few days taking trout spinners to the local bass ponds. Today I landed 8 largemouths in less than an hour, and lost a few others. This consistent warm, sunny weather has them turned on. I basically take any in-line trout spinner, cast along the weed beds, and rip it back in so it makes a slight wake on the surface. If you cast within ten feet of a bass they will dart over and crush it.
On saturday I was checking out a potential trout stream and decided to fish the pond next to it before hitting the stream. There were five other people fishing there, all using worms and bobbers. I cast for about ten minutes, caught two bass and a bluegill, and continued on to the stream. Hit the pond again on my way back out (stream was a dud) and quickly landed two more bass and two bluegills. No one else caught a thing.
Now I said I have been using spinners, but I'm sure any flashy streamer will have the same results. If the streams are high or the trout aren't cooperating and you have a bass pond nearby, give it a shot. It's a blast!
