        That is how it needs to be in the trout river I was fishing. Far too many minnows, not enough food for anything to get big and fat.

          Hey Giles found this website on intstgram. It’s a Japanese company that makes and maybe sells some interesting lures. I don’t know if they sell the site is in Japanese. Are you familiar with them?

          Kayak-propel.com

          Maybe so. Maybe not

                        Yessir. Pan cooked for dinner and smoked overnight for breakfast. Landed 3 (Limit) all around 10 pounds in about 4 hours. The water was enjoyably cold with a swift current.

                                    @Giles what's the action on that lure? I see no lip so it doesn't dive, it is a sinking erratic swimmer with an open mouth that leaves a trail of bubbles as you reel?

                                    if you have a link to it i'd like to look into it.

                                        I use a similar "walk the dog" lure called a Spook. It works best on calm water in the early morning and evening for bass, and in the middle of the day on choppy waters for Northern.

                                        I'll add a Patchinko to my arsenal and see what i can catch
