When a lake or pond contains trout (often rainbow trout) it means that these fish have been stocked (or put there for the express purpose of being caught by fishermen). Well, when you are fishing for trout that have been stocked one of the best trout baits on the planet to use to catch them is Powerbait

The first tip that I have in relation to fishing with Powerbait is to use fishing hooks that are very small. Small balls of Powerbait seem to always outfish large chucks mainly because small chunks are easier for hungry trout to engulf than large balls of Powerbait. If using a single bait holder, salmon egg, or set of gang hooks this means that size #10 hooks should be employed. If using a single treble hook, size #12 or even #18 hook is the way to go for trout fishing.
The second tip is to make sure that the Powerbait that is being used is as "fresh" as possible. A new jar of bait for each fishing trip certainly isn't necessary, but replacing your bait every season is. I have always found the "fresh" Powerbait will outfish stale or old Powerbait.
The third tip that will help you catch more fish when fishing with Powerbait is to be on the water at the most productive time of the day. How are you supposed to determine the most productive time of the day? By learning and paying attention to how the weather and moon impact trout fishing. You would be surprised at how much these these two factors have to due with whether or not the trout fishing will be productive.
Make these 3 simple tips a part of your trout fishing repertoire and you will catch more trout the next time that you are using the trout bait known as Powerbait.
