Thread: Alton Baker trout

Went to the Alton Baker pond this evening around 6ish, fished with a bobber eggs and powerbait for a couple hours until a pretty heavy showing of bugs came out (sorry couldn't identify them, they were dark and had big dark wings) and the fish that were still in the pond started jumping a tad.

As the sun set farther there were a few more fish jumping and I suspect that if I'd've stayed to dark they would have been jumping around pretty often.

One other person fishing in a yellow pontoon boat, using spinners it looked like. He took off about 30-45 minutes before the fish started getting frisky but neither of us caught anything while I was there tonight. Had a good time though.

I have gone out to the canal the last few days, went once tuesday and twice wednesday and had no luck.

I was using power eggs for a while then I switched to a thomas lure and still didn't even get a bite.

Any advice?

I never catch anything there either, i think you have to be there when they stock. I did manage to hook a tiny fish on a single pautzke egg. I think it was a baby shad...not really sure, was about two inches long. I have tried everything there, kastmasters, thomas, blue fox, eggs, and powerbait. Funny, I catch fish everywhere else on ALL those things but nothing at Alton Baker.

I don't know what the deal is, I went the day they stocked and I went again last night and this morning, all with no luck.

It is weird because I caught 12 fish total after 3 straight days of fishing there off powerbait.

that is weird, powerbait usually ALWAYS works. I keep telling myself I am not going to fish there anymore, but I always end up going because its sooo close, especially when I am low on gas!

decided to see if I could kill the Alton Baker skunk... no dice... kastmaster, panther martin, power eggs and power bait= no bites. No one else fishin was seeing any action either. I saw one fish jump that is all. I got there by 6:30 am and fished until nine or so, figured two and a half hours of nothing at all was enough!
