Taking A Trout Trip...Tips Needed!
It must be something about the Georgia climate that prevents that here. Even though we have all three species.

Why they call them "bluegill"
Not bad, but I think the best looking is the Pamela Anderson Siliconebreast. ;D ;D ;D ;D

Trout!?
Yep. They make the nightcrawlers(earthworms) and the miniworms which are red wiggler size. They come in Natural and Red wiggler. Mine reads Natural, but they look more like Redwigglers. I bought the Miniworms at Wal-Mart. I found some good pictures of them at this site: http://www.lakemichiganangler.com/store/Berkley_Gulp_Mini_Earthworms.htm

Taking A Trout Trip...Tips Needed!
I heard that the Rainbows were the only ones hardy enough to survive the hatchery conditions. Check it out with your local hatchery and tell me what the real deal is.

the trout thread
Berkley Gulp Miniworms(Natural) are the best trout bait around. But you have to hook them only once in the center(for that natural look) on a #8 hook, 2 split shot on 4lb test line. The split shot will vary as to how quick the current is. Ya want to slow it down enough so it stays in the strike zone longer. Tightlines!!!

Taking A Trout Trip...Tips Needed!
A Brown trout. You actually caught a fish that was introduced years ago. It's actually considered a native now, and hatcheries do not stock them. Rainbow trout are the only ones that are stocked. At least that's what I have been told, and have seen in Ga, Tenn and NC. It's actually a great feat to catch the elusive Brown Trout. Good job. BTW. You'll notice that stocked trout will have their bottom fins wore down to the point that it looks like someone clipped them back. They actually wear them down on the concrete floor of the hatchery tanks. I also heard that the hatcheries clip them on purpose. Hmmmm. I'm not sure what the real answer is. I should have stopped at the Hatchery and asked.

Trout!?
I just tore the Rainbow trout up in Tennessee on the Little Pigeon River. I caught about 30 in a 7 day trip, and topped it off with an 18 in Brown trout. I used red wigglers, a #8 hook, and 2 slit shot on 4lb test line. Hook the worms once threw the middle for that natural look. Though I ran out early with the worms, I caught the most with, to include the big Brown, Berkley Gulp miniworms in the natural color. They are linked together like little sausages. That little 2 inch link wore those trout out. I hooked them the same way as I mentioned above. I could usually catch 2 or 3 on the same bait. That's all I'm going to use from now on. Tightlines!!!

Boat Trailer Issue Part Two...
That one bottom 8ft board actually curves away from the the bottom of the boat leaving a 2 inch gap. It also sags a little in between the two mounts. The right bottom board is completely flush to the bottom of the boat.
