Whats the best bait or power bait color for trout on winni?????? I'd like to see what others use. Personally I usually stick to emerald's.
-
to be honest Ive done a few conventional things aka small smelt and Ive peppered the hole with salmon eggs, but if i were you as far as colors ask the locals I personally use yellow but have heard red was workin this year locally

i always use green chartruse

The color really doesn,t matter orange charteuse rainbow all good But presentation does matter heres a little trick that has worked for me over the years use 4 lb floro seagar about 3 feet attach one end to tipup line with small black barrel swivel attach a teardrop jig in the sme color of the power bait your going to use, on the business end of the deal. Then mold the power bait around the teardrop jig just enough to cover the jig. not too big just a little snack, then lower the booby trapped jig down the hole in 2-6 feet of water 6 inches above a sandy or gravelly bottom. The trout dont see any weights and the power bait just floats there SOO ENTICING Good luck this weekend ps chum the hole with atlas big boys it wont hurt one bit Pete

set your line up with some orange power bait with the glitter in it ..works like magic

Worms!!!
Meal worms, wax worms, night crawlers. You can still get them at most bait shops. I use them with a small Swedish Pimple. Also catch trout on small minnows.

I was going to say mealies. That's what I've caught all the trout I've caught jigging on. Hooked twice onto the treble of a swedish pimple so it sits horizontal. Most of them took it while the jig was sitting still, so I'd guess it would work on a tip up too.

winni trout dont go for the powerbait that well....small smelt or pinheads about 4 ft under the ice....
-
If you can't find worms at the bait shop, try PetCo. or a pet shop that sells lizards, etc. I got 50 big wax worms for $3.00 and two dozen "superworms" (huge) for $1.99.
