Got to the lake around 3:00 pm and fished for 2.5 hours. Didn't get anything until the last 30 minutes before packing up. Caught 3 trouts (1-16" & 2-12" or smaller). Only kept the 16" and released both 12"ers to grow a bit more for the summer. Only reason I'm giving a 3 is because a few boaters drifted by and showed me some of their catches (averaging 3-5) per boat.

Setup:
Pole 1: 6' leader with chartreuse power egg with 1/2 oz weight.
Pole 2: 4' leader with lime-green power egg with 1/2 oz weight.
Got all fishes with Smelly Jelly - Herring Scented (UV treated). Had a variety of scent and tried them all with no luck (Garlic, Anise, Shrimp, and etc.)

Glad you were able to get out on American, even better you got some fish. I love how many people are catching fish this time of year. I know I never used to fish January ever but with all the post I just had to start and I am really enjoying it.
Good luck to you next time
PS thanks for the herring smelly jelly tip, I have never used herring except for salmon but might add it to my tackle box very soon.
