Hi

Any advice welcome on what lures you would use to fish for sea trout and how you would work those lures.

Many thanks

hi steve are you fishing the salt or freshwater? and will you be throwing fluff or plastic?

 

[Steve Arries]

Sorry - should have explained, it is a saltwater estuary, with a very fast current, and I would be looking at plastic or spinners

 

[Iestyn Jones]

lots of options to try. flying c`s, irish minnows,devon minnows, rapala countdowns and floating in 7cm and 11cm sizes to name but a few!!! cast them square (12 o`clock) or across and down (1-3 o`clock) sinking raps, irish minnows, flying c`s etc can also be cast upstream to get the lure down to the reqd depth. fast deep water may require bouncing betty`s and devon minnows, or you could fish worm, prawn or even flies on this method. loads of options theese are just a dew proven ones!!!

Been spinning for Salmon and Sea Trout in Cumbrian estuaries since I was a kid, the smaller sized Abu Tobies in silver or copper always did well but now I've become more of a tart the Abu Tormentors or Press Bait Fusions do quite well. Medium paced retrieve with a "kick" now and again works for me.

steve i just got a sea trout on this lure last saturday its a p-boy casting jig by tackle house

try the float and jig techniques, using marabou jigs in 1/32oz- 1/8 oz depending on current, or colorado blade spinners under a float, faster the current larger the blade,

Thanks for your replies guys, some advice i have been given off the forum is to use a Maria Viva Parade Lure, with a fast retrieve keeping the lure in the top 1 metre of water, with the occasional twitch.
