When you dont know ASK

I wont pretend to know any secrets on what's going on with the trout right now but when you're fishing clearer water and worried about spooking fish , if your not fishing top water then maybe give fluorocarbon a try.
I love it as a leader on braid. You can get away with using 20 lb test and it's still almost invisible, has some stretch too plus I personally think I can get better feel and control over my jigs/Cormier with it.

9-6 It was definitely a summer fish I have a different phone from backthen I downloaded it and printed it up hung in the man cave. It regurgitated a 5" mullet in the O2 well before it freaking died on me. I tried to release on rhe spot but it wouldn't revive. My wife may have a pic on saved on the computer. But what your saying about big baits is no don't trust. I got my broke backs to late last year but cant wait to tie one on

Coach im a big believer in the tandem as a matter of fact that 33 was on a tandem midnight sparkle rigged weed less with a 1/16oz slide weight. she nailed it thought it was a red an d almost crapped myself when I saw it was a trout. Im changing a couple of things, went to FTU yesterday and picked up some Norton twist jig heads 1/16 and some new ultra clear 20# flouro for my shock. I've been chasing red tails so much I forgot how to snatch a good trout.

A little lesson there . Big bait for big trout is the mantra . Yeah , it is true but it doesn't mean a big trout won't eat a shrimp or tout . Dang son , 33 inches ? What weight ?

Its a personal preference more than anything. I used to always use them all the time and then I started rigging using a mono to braid knot that I really like and its very strong and allows me to put a very long shock leader. Witch gives my braid a very nice stretch and feel of the lure and bite. A few friends and I fished together quit a lot and I personally got more strikes and fish than they did on every outing. We fished thr same baits same spots type rods the only difference was I had a 3' leader with no swivel. So I was committed ever since. Ive seen an article or two on the subject some say no some yes but if a trout can see you mono why wouldnt be reasonable to see that swivel? It does help in the weeds too.

Educate me on why you don't like barrel swivels? That's all I use and might be why I'm not catching much.

Salt it has slowed down no doubt. Im sure a lot of reasons are causing it there is no way to put it on any one thing I don't think. We did have a relatively light summer considering so maybe we will see those fat girls more in the cool months. I have my fingers crossed.
