Yesterday, I spent the day at Mojave Narrows fishing for trout. Although I was not having much success, I stayed persistent in my approach. I was using, what I believe to be, the best Spinning Reel. The Shimano Sustain Spinning Reel has always brought me luck. I have owned a few different ones over the years.
I started with this specific reel along with a 2 inch plastic minnow for bait. I was not having much luck, I moved locations, and eventually I tried a 1 inch plastic minnow. After a few casts, I was able to land a solid Rainbow Trout weighing about 2.5 pounds. I also utilized a garlic spray on the minnow, hoping for increased action.
Mojave Narrows Regional Park is a location I frequent often, but have not been as successful lately. Today was a good day, with persistence, determination, and reliable tackle, I was able to catch a nice one.
