When i troll the quarry there is a lot of dead water.they plant every week.the trout find a comfortable location.i frequent certain areas that have produced before use the same productive lures.When you take the last plant away others seem to come in the area .Twenty feet and shallower seem to be the ticket.My best lure is perserance. If you don't succed the first pass you try and try again

Ken, you ever try a fake worm? I tried part of a GULP worm and it trolled up a crappie, so that gave me some confidence that it
might work.

how about a trolling fly or grub behind the dodger?  seems like that should work, but no luck for me with it yet.

looks like raymac uses either plastic worms or real ones with his stinger rigged spinner setup.

nitecrawlers are effective, but a little messy. I had one batch live in the fridge for months, the next batch did not last so long. ewww!

John,

I have trolled the Dodger and Worm at Quarry.  I think I have had 2 to 3 hits.  No fish landed.  You look at Raymac set-up and it is a little tiny blade.  He does troll with a live worm.  I alway start out on a new lake with the Dodger & Worm set-up and then try other things if that does not work.  It is all I fish at Lexington.  When that lake get going.

Nice report!

So good to see people who take trout and eat them right away!   

I have never seen the point of freezing a trout.   

Ken, I caught fish on a micro flasher rig in front of a shad rap @ lexington.  seemed better than the worm as I could
cover ground faster.

Only way to freeze them is with a vacuum sealer.
