Thank you. Wish I had the fishing you have out there in FL.
You are in a good place to fish there. Fishing stained shallow water in tidal rivers and creeks is way different than fishing deep clear lakes and streams. Lots of good places to fish there also.

If people around you are catching fish talk to them, most are willing to help. Trout tend to be line shy so a 6lb test line of florocarbon or florocast should be used. Just need to use the right knot for this type of line. If you are using power bait try a carolina rig. There also are some pretied trout rigs to check out that are easy to use.
From San Jose you could go south to Gilroy, Anderson or Coyote lakes. Or north towards Livermore to Del Valle.

Well them little rubber a**holes is what started this conversation. If you put a weedless hook on there wouldn't that be a weedless wacky rig?
Yes and you could give that a try. No right or wrong way.

Texas wacky rig? I'm confused. As usual.
Texas or wacky, not the same. Keep it simple to start then figure out what you like. You can Texas rig with or without a weight. I prefer a carolina rig but there is not a right or wrong way. U tube is your friend.

OK. Big confession here. I've been fishing all over the world for about 70 years. I have never caught a fish on a plastic or rubber worm.
There’s always a first time. I fished in California for over 50 years and caught lots of fish on plastics. Mostly bass, but also crappie, bream (pan fish for those who live in Lincoln), trout, catfish and squaw fish. There are at least three predominant kinds of black bass in CA. Broaden your horizons, been a long time since you caught a trout unless I missed something. For the price of a cheap bag of hooks and worms you will be on your way.

I ain't a bass fisher, and so am ignorant in the ways of wacky. Can't you just put the hook thru the worm?
As Big A suggests give bass a try next time you fish using your 2nd pole. Bass and trout both can be caught in most California lakes. Keep it simple with a small pack of 3/0 or 4/0 hooks and a bag of any brand of plastic “Senko” or stick type worm. Rig it weedless, with or without a bullet weight, carolina style also good. Recommend watermelon red color worm for first bag. Cast it out, let it settle, move it a little bit and let it settle, repeat. You should be able to catch bass in most places you fish for trout, try it you might like it.

Run the O ring to the big end of the tube. Insert worm halfway into tube and roll O ring off. Put hook under O ring.

Used to put O rings on plastic worms to fish wacky style.
Beach carts are a big help to get gear across the sand.

Nice Dehy, very nice fatty you have there.
Thanks but she went back home after the picture. Really like to eat bass but not that big and especially not during the spawn.
