@@MichaelKaal-TriFisherwe’re y’all fishing with small trout? Or with minnows intended for catching trout? Sorry if that’s a dumb question but I’ve never seen trout for sale as bait. Where do y’all get them if that’s the case? I’m bringing my kids to fish Watauga and would like to try that

We were fishing with small trout as bait. This is specific to the winter only. During the summer you can use shiners. If you want to purchase trout minnows contact Mike Cable 199 Cable Rd. Elk Park, NC 28622 828-406-8920

Watauga lake was my favorite place to stay when I was stationed at Fort Bragg. Ended up getting married in Johnson City. The Watauga Winery was the first place I paid to drink and is still my favorite winery.

Nice shot of rat branch and the barely visible dam in the background on the trip in. Wnd its cold on that lake in winter. Dropping a dimiki rug on spots in sub freezing air temps and water not much warmer.

Yeah, there’s almost always a wind on that particular lake. The winter can be downright freezing

That is exactly how I grew up fishing with my dad. We loved bank fishing for bass, walleye, and catfish. We used a lot of hornyhead minnows and creek chubs that we would seine from the surrounding creeks. We used drink cans with rocks in them too. This video took me back to my childhood. Awesome video.

I've been watching a number of your videos as preparation for an upcoming visit to Watauga in March. My brother (and his new boat) lives there. Your videos have been very informative and helpful since neither of us is familiar with East Tennessee waters and methods. In this video are you using anything beyond a hook with a free-sliding egg sinker...no swivel/leader, etc.? Thanks for all your great content! (P.S. I used to use Kale hooks when fishing for rock/reef fish in the Gulf of Mexico. They are great for keeping fish from getting gut-hooked.)

@MichaelKaal-TriFisher

How do you hook trout? Through both lips? Also what size egg sinker did you use?

Hey, it’s been a little while since I filmed that video, but we did hook the Trout through one nostril and out the other. I believe we were using 1 ounce barrel weights.
