April 28th 2013: Trout fishing on the Cape!

I hate fishing for bass in the middle of the day - especially when it's blue skies, so I hit Nickerson for some trout. They stock the heck out of that place, so it's usually a good bet. I tried shallow, but only found a few trout. Most of them were out in the middle - just cruising around. Best lure was a tube + worm (no, not the surgical tubing) on the troll - basically a crappie tube tipped with a piece of real trout worm. Color didn't seem to matter. lb. test didn't matter either. The worm was important (just like salt). It also helped if I held the rods so I could troll a little deeper. I had a hard time making it across the pond because there were so many trout out there. I caught all rainbows, but a fly guy on shore got 2 browns.

Here's some pics...
