Strippers would get me in trouble...
Stripers, I'll fish for 2 hours before dawn and two hours after.
Same for sunset.

I'm not quite ready for all nighters along the ocean front all alone.
Almost got run over by a deer Tuesday before dawn...

Quick trout question for everyone. There are three local lakes here in Long Island that had brown and rainbow trout stocked in them last weekend, and I went fishing one day last wekend and yesterday. I got a ton of panfish and a few bass, but NO trout! Now they were jumpimg, and swiming right in front of me but not biting anything. I tried wax worms ( always worked before), salmon eggs. small spinners, crickets, etc Anyone have any good suggestions? I know these fish are raised eating pellets in a growing ponds and they eat bugs that land on the surface. I have always got them in the past with wax worms and spinners....

I don't know if it is now legal or considered ethical, but back in the 70's corn worked well.
Maybe some wet flies and a casting bubble?

I've always had the best luck with in-line spinners (typically a yellow 1/8 oz. Rooster Tail) for stocked trout. I've also fished for them next to guys who were doing the exact same thing as me and watched while they caught fish and I got nothing. They can actually be kind of frustrating like that. I've also used small jerkbaits and the powerbait trout nuggets with some success. I would try a small 1-2 inch jerkbait first.
 
Thanks for the suggestions so far, and keep them coming! I just got back from one of those lakes and once again I caught everything but trout! No one on the lake was having much luck. I tried dry and wet flies tailing a bobber and got about 25 bluegills. I tried the trout power bait, wax worm, live crickets, real and palstic salmon eggs, and buttermilk dough, and lots of bluegills and a few small bass but no trout. They were swiming everywhere. Jumping and getting bugs. Swiming in groups of ten and more, and two even bumped into me while I was in the water in my waders, but not one trout! I will try the corn next time. Any other ideas?????

Indian summer Bluegills. The knife is a queen steel I bought back in the 70s. I need a new sheath for it.

The mild waether in NY allowed me to hit the lake again yesterday, and I got three good size bluegills. Last week I got a few and a trout. Yesterday the trout were jumping but not biting....

I was going to post about the brown trout I caught today on Long island, but you guys got me beat! Great pictures!
 
Here’s a pic taken yesterday of my local land based game fishing spot East coast of Australia, a 10 min walk from home. Nice flat sea today it gets dangerous a number of people have drowned here but the fishing is worth it::cool: PS the photo is taken from the top of an 80 foot cliff which needs to be climbed before fishing, this keeps the numbers of fishermen down as well
