what to use

[cweg94]

What do you guys on the kenai pen use for trout? Either jigging or tip-ups. I have been try jigging spoons and crappie jigs. Haven't been getting any luck.

I'm no expert, but cured salmon roe for lake trout, rainbows, and dollys works good.  Whitefish is good for lakers and burbot, though I've never caught a  burbot.  Spoony jigs like crocodiles, sweedish pimples, castmasters, etc.

Thanks I almost landed a six inch dolly using some eggs. One step closer

Thanks for the advice!  I decided to head to the lake to see if i could hit a morning bite today. It took less than a minute and i had this guy.  My first fish through the ice. I was super happy. I fished for another half hour then came home.

I use anything made by Custom Jigs and Spins. The Peninsula fish absolutely love them.
Lately I have been fishing my own creations.All tipped with small pieces of raw shrimp.
This is a 20" rainbow


A decent limit of Landlocked Salmon

Cyclops

all will work on any given day. Tip them with RAW shrimp or eggs and generally you're gonna catch fish.
I knew a guy who only fished with tiny snelled hooks weighted down with a split shot and one Pautzky egg. Always caught'em.

looks like i should update my tackle box. I've been using eggs but will look for some shrimp here in town.

thank you
