So i switched to a bobber but that seemed not to work as the bait was essentially floating up next to my float. There were definitely fish in the area as one decided to jump literally on my float. Any advice would be greatly appreciated so I can go out early tomorrow. Thanks guys!
In-line spinners, the answer is always in-line spinners, doesn't matter what type freshwater fishing you do.

If you throw an in-line ANYWHERE where theres fresh water, if theres fish in there you will catch one.

Get a 1/8 mepps inline spinner, i think the size is number 2 but it should say on the package.

Throw is out let it fall depending on how deep you want it to go but dont let it touch the bottom, then reel it in. keep repeating

throw it in every direction and try different depths and if you want it to stay a little deeper reel in a little slower.

You might have to do this for as long as an hour before you see a hit but to me it almost always catches something, whether its a tiny bass or sunfish, you'll reel something in. It will give you more confidence and they are very effective against trout.

If the trout are biting and if you throw the spinner for an hour, you most likely will catch one.

dont forget sight casting, walk around looking for them, a lot of times you will see them, throw the spinner a little further away and reel it in right infront of their face!

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO USE ? AN IN-LINE SPINNER!
