Cape Trout

[Raven]

without sunshine

there's allot less flash to a spinner blade rotating and they won't
be as apt to strike...so thats when i'll switch from the brown speckled to the minature rapala lure which works the best IMHO ....

and sometimes its the retrieve that has to be specific as in holding your rod tip high enough to create a V-wake with the spinner on or just under surface of the water...

sometimes though they want only something gold so i'll change up
to a gold spoon or lure... experimenting til i figure out what's hot

the minature cast masters are great for off shore casting but the subtle differences in color is the "key" to success and i also have peel and stick craft store holographic foil on some off them until i figure out what they want that particular day.

browns especially want worms at dusk and dawn or power bait
but the rainbows tend to be minnow chasers and sometimes anything with a tiny bit of orange or blue is all they'll touch.
