Trout Fishing in High Water with PowerBait MICE TAILS - Trout Bait
Vložit
- čas přidán 30. 01. 2019
- I am finally fishing the high water for trout with this bait I got in the mail, PowerBait Mice Tails. These Mice Tails are an interesting trout bait. It resembles a Power Egg but like the name says, it has a tail. Letting it bounce off the bottom with a simple rig, I am able to catch two trout that I end up taking home. The first half of this can be seen in the previous video. I got the boots, got the Power Bait, and finally got the Trout. I was happy to try out the new bait that a nice subscriber sent to the show.

This is quickly becoming one of my favorite CZcams channels.. Cheers to you Alex I dig the no BS no nonsense approach to you vids..
Awesome! Thanks for watching deviousjay
I've already told this story before but here we go.
Right so when i started out trout fishing about three years ago all i knew was to use power bait.
I wasn't really a big fan of live bait and it had been YEARS since i last fished.
I figured i would go to my local water shad and ask others for tips and learn a thing or two.
These people at my local water shad were stuck up,nasty,etc and treated me like they didn't want me there.
That didn't stop me, Being lucky or doing something right i got my first trout!
I start freaking out leo style and saying how beautiful it is and look at the colors and every one else around me is giving me the "look"
My sister manage to catch her first one too.
Days later i went to a walmart and got a handful of power bait in a few colors thinking this was all i needed.
I then went to my local water shad like before and there happen to be a guy near a spot i can fish safely from the bank.
He happened to be in waders and at this point i didn't bother asking him anything because people were rude to me other times.
Like we were on top of each other, He was in front of me and i was behind him.
He was catching trout left and right and i didn't get zip.
This went on for a bit and i ended up saying screw this and threw in the towel.
I packed up my stuff and was ready to head back home when i hear a Stop!
I look around and figured it must of been him and said why?
The guy then said you want a fish?, I'll get you one!
I said thanks for the offer but it would feel good to catch one myself.
The guy said you don't understand and started walking out of the stream.
Once hes on land he then said show me your setup, I did and he cut everything off.
He then tied on a new hook, split shot and gave me a pink rubber worm.
He then said 100% you'll get one now and points to a spot in the stream and tells me what to do.
Sure enough i did get my second trout of my whole life and i thank him and offer his stuff back and the fish it was the right thing to do.
He told me no you're going to keep it because you earned it and earned that fish, The fact that you took the time and allowed me to teach you something you were unaware of is more than enough for me.
We then talked for a bit and i explain to him how others made me feel while fishing and how they were rude,etc.
He then tells me "Well you're going to run into "those" kind of people from time to time but don't let that get to you."
He then tells me "I want you to know there are good people like myself that would rather take time out of our day and help another person like yourself."
He then tells me "I want you to be that person and if you see somebody having a hard time please offer them some help but only if they are willing listen and take it."
He remember about the trout and said you better get home quickly and cook up that trout!
I laughed and said yeah i guess you're right and packed up and was on my way out when he said "See you later kid, Hopefully we get to meet up again."
From that day on , I try and help as many people as i can and tell them how i use stuff and what has worked for me and how i do it i keep no fishing secrets.
With that said those bubble gum trout worms work on EVERYTHING when the time is right and in your favor.
Write a book why don't ya

Blah blah blah shut the fuck up.
The very first fish I ever caught was a rainbow trout. Don’t remember how big it was but I was super happy to catch my first fish. I was younger than 13 at the time and when I got that beautiful rainbow trout I’ve loved fishing since.
I’m 22 now and every summer I go a full week away from home just for fishing trout. I enjoy it. :)
Alex, thank for taking us on your adventures and continuing talk to us about the experince.🙌
Really enjoy watching your videos. Been watching for sometime now one of my favorite fishing channels.
River fishing = snags. Nice video!
It sure does. Thats how I keep it realistic 👍
Glad the boots worked out for you and you catch two yummy trout. 👍
It turned out alright! 😀
I’m enjoying your “Everyman “ video personality. I appreciate that you show your faults and snags and all that stuff....just like how we “regular” folk do. I’m subscribing! Keep keeping it real man!
Thanks Andrew 👍
Bro that opening was legendary...showed some great wins but much respect for showing some of the flubs....when you lost your cap...that was classic then you cemented my respect when you fished it out! True grit my friend....I'm subscribing partner..good work
The boots helped. No soaked socks. Fish for the freezer. 👍👍
Nice to see you keep a few brother! Good fishing! Thanks for the upload
Always love it when you keep fish, Hamish 😀 KIR BRO
Really enjoying your videos as of lately. You're my new favorite CZcams fisherman! All of my old favorites got waaaaay too commercialized. Keep keepin' it real!
Love the trout videos man!👍 Cool to see you fish the hard to reach spots with the high water.
The boots came in handy 😀
Beginner fisherman here and your videos have helped a lot
Never have tried mice tails,, or mouse tails. But since watching your video I will have to try them. Thumbs up!
Awesome videos! Great explanations ! Would love to try some of the baits you are using !!!! Good luck fishing :)
Your commentary reminds me of baseball announcers on the radio. Love it!
Nice catches man, gonna prolly read up and try trout fishing next year. Always great vids 👍
You were on fire bro! That was some high water and tough conditions...great job!
While you were walking through the water testing out your new boots, I was singing "Wade in the Water"! Those Mouse Tails work really nice, they seem to be most effective in moving water also, but I have caught trout with them on just a slip rig also.
Thank Goodness, I was disappointed I was left hanging after the boot episode😔😔 REDEMPTION. What a great ending to a great first episode🦎👑🐟
Leave it to you to be disappointed by realistic fishing... How are all of those brand promotions going? 😅
It just makes my life peachy😂😂😂 As you predicted. Budget fishing Jesus was right all along. Humbly🦎👑🐟
I was more frustrated cuz I had to wait to see the conclusion of the boot episode. #cliffhanger 🤣🤣🤣 I retract my statement im never disappointed with Realistic Fishing🦎👑🐟
I’m always watching your videos so I sub.I love fishing and I leaned a few tricks from your videos
Cool fishing Alex ....love fishing for trout myself...I usually rig it like Carolina ....or Texas rig ....much more heavier weight....Especially with that strong current....awesome again
Keep up with the trout fishing....my favorite 👍👍
👍👍
Was taught to use two smaller drop shot sinkers about 2 inches apart and this will reduce the snags and give more realistic fishing....no pun intended haha. Love your videos man. Keep bringing it!
Man those mice tails were on fire!! Talk about a nice gift, the one that keeps producing, great vid as always👍👍
I am glad I have a few left. I need to try them again
looks like the boots helped. good looking catch
Boots paid off!! Nice trout on those mice tails!
They sure did. They will come in handy next time. 👍
Luv the mouse tails. A lot of success on those.
Nice fish that you caught, but you might want to think about using a smaller Sinkers it won't hang up as bad in the current😁
I have experimented with many sinkers in this years trout series. 👍
The mice tails really worked. Love the stick stringer too. Those trout will taste great. Fish on!
Thanks Vance, Fish on!
Nice video, i love fishing for trout when i can...
Nice video I love using Mice Tails I use them trout fishing a ton
👍
Nice catch Alex. I took a couple days vacation for trout season this year. I'm definitely ready for some trout action. Great job as always man. 👍
man that river wa moving and there is were the trout likes to be keep it up Alex
The boots were a success and caught some tacos. Great video 👊🏻
Yes they were, just enough to get me to a spot to cast from. 👍
Really enjoying the trout series.
Thanks for watching 👍
I use those same boots!!! REALISTIC AF!
Nice!
I enjoy watching your videos. Especially the trash removal videos haha. One thing that will help with the snags is going with a smaller weight. It will still snag if the current catches the line just right but after about 2 or 3 snags I put a smaller weight on and rarely have an issue. Also I love using the mice/mouse tails with a trout magnet bobber.
Nice, Alex, now I can try my Mice Tails, been waiting! thanks TIGHT LINES! : - )
They worked! 👍
That is an interesting bait, something like mixing a power egg and a trout worm. I love getting snagged....would rather be fishing 😆!
Very nice looking location Alex! Glad you got a couple of keepers.
Thanks, me too 👍👍
I live in pa and we have opening day for trout in April and I used them last year and was limited out in 30 minutes really good bait realistic fishing try them on a 32 jig head and you almost Texas rig it ... it works really good
Nice!
I live in PA as well. I’m new to fishing so I’ll definitely give it a try. I have trout magnets. I don’t know what a 32 jig head is but I’ll google it lol. Thanks for the info
I have never seen those things before but looks like itd be worth a try. Might get lucky on the chattooga river with them, provided i can get me some boots like that. Awesome trout man. Made me hungry thinking of fish tacos lol. Keep it up man, love your vids
I always have good luck with mice tails. I use the white and pink. Powerbait also makes power worms that resemble meal worms. They come in a small jar they are always good too.
👍
Nice dinner. Enjoy those trout. Tight lines
Those are trout slayers...love them things
I like em, they worked! 👍
@@RealisticFishing Yeah they do!
i like the powerbait worms but if i get micetails its like two lures in one. they'll attack just the ball part like crazy!!
@@RealisticFishing I'd suggest a Tackle Advisor vid on rigging tips for mice tails,
czcams.com/video/lTN1ZdbwY0M/video.html
makes them weedless, and improves hook up ratio. Something to consider. Can't do much about the weight, though.
Love it. Great job out there
Very creative homemade stringer. You get the MacGyver award fir this episode.
I'll take it!
I'll have to try those mice tails. Nice fish dinner!
I couldn't focus anymore after you said "wet roots" HAHAHA!! Very nice video man!!! i m definitely going to try to catch a trout this year.
glad to see your give those trouts the boot(get it the boot lol) nice catch Alex keep your hooks wet
Das Boot!
you got a couple great job never had luck with those tails Cheers!! :))
Very nice fish as always! Hope to someday do some trout fishing myself!(for now gonna have to stick to specks and sandys)
Nice one love it 😉👍🎣🎣🎣
Yet to catch one on Mice Tails. I've not used them in a running stream though. Nice job!
Mice tail, mouse tail who really knows you are a trout catching machine. Yet another great Realistic video.
Hmm I may have to try those when the weather warms up a bit here in Michigan. Great video. Hope you enjoyed your Trout lunch :)
You got yourself a nice meal.. Those were some pretty looking trout.. I've never heard of nice tails before but obviously they work
Nice job man with that home made stringer. living off the land!
Nice trout man keeping it real.
Thats right! 👍
🤔 Is my name meant to be pronounced the same way as yours 🤔
Dylan Thompson no I’ve been called Dylan all my life. It’s pronounced Day-Lan
Awesome!! Nice Trout!!
Thanks Blue Boy 👍
Glad they paid off. I'm looking at waders for the river behind my house. Full of smallies, no trout that I know off.
I might get some waders too. 👍
Love the videos keep up the good work
Snags suck. Those mice tails come in a red power egg with natural colored tail that work good for trout too. Thanks for another great video.
I ❤ Snags
Nice the boots workings nice 👍 and catch beautiful fish take care my friend
This is helpful, I'll definitely be trying these. Have you tried the power honey worms? Really appreciate the trout series of videos. Have a good weekend man👊
Good see that the mice tails work, i haven’t been able to catch a fish yet but I’m still tryin...
How long have you been trying?
About a month
Not bad bro, awesome job. 🎣😎🎣😎🎣😎🎣😎🎣
Another great video Alex.
Thanks!
Great video, and I really enjoy the detail to the proper bait name pronunciation :D In all seriousness, I really appreciate your channel, keep up the good work!
Thanks Brett 👊
nice boots , love that homemade stringer
My budget options worked great 👍
Pretty cool video, trout are funny fish
LOL that was funny when you hooked that first fish and trying to figure out what to call the Mice Tail or Mouse Tail 🤣🤣
Alex, So glad they finally worked for you. Feels good to be the only one catching! I wonder if in that current, a drop shot rig would have worked. 🤔 Thanks for mentioning my name, my 7 year-old daughter go a kick out of it.
It might work better, but the weight is what is getting snagged half of the time. So, I am not sure.
Well Alex it's supposed to be in the 60s this weekend. Hope your able to get out there and catch some good ones and I will try to also. Great video and nice investment in the boots 👊👍.
I dont fish the weekend very often because everyone covers up the good spots 😅
Ha same stringer I’ve always used, nice and simple. I’m going to start packing my rubber boots when I fish - they looked like they got the job done!
Those boots saved the day 👍
Good job bro.! Is the best softlure bro.! ✌🎣
The boots, the new rod, the meese tails. winning combo.
Nice fish
Thanks
great video man, ya got yourself another sub :-)
thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Back when, we always used a fork, stick so we could carry it by one end and the fish wouldn't slip off.
I had to make do with what I could find on the ground. 👍
We used a couple of feet of catbriar vine with the thorns cut off, bent to a loop.
Man, caviar is just pouring out of that first fish!
Yoooo I caught my first trout yesterday! Ty for your previous videos
Nice! What did you catch it on?
@@RealisticFishing a salmon egg! And then I didn't catch one for the rest of the day. But it was grand, thank you for realistic tips
Nice video, thumbs up and best regards from Russia.
Ha, got a whole bunch of various Berkeley/powerbait stuff from my girlfriend for Christmas, all stuff I’d never buy myself... but it all is working in my local planted ponds. They planting one this week, I been checking last 3 days, not yet..but once the fish are in, imma use my mice tails, and maybe some power crickets, or maybe try the power maggots... don’t get me wrong, powerbait is bomb in the right situation, and I love Berkeley products, just that it’s all specifically designed, IMO, for planters. But I am also trying the pink trout worms for steelhead this year, hear good things about that.
You might try lighter split shot to equal the weight of that single heavier one. Separate them by a couple, maybe three inches. I've gone up to three of 'em. Sometimes it works, sometimes it makes things worse!
A few vids ago I was experimenting with weights. I didnt help all that much 😅
@@RealisticFishing Yeah, I hear you. Seems that the main advantage with using smaller split shot than we usually find in bass fishing is that you can really fine tune the weight, get your bait down to where it's barely ticking the bottom. With the larger shot you might be "floating" over the bottom or dragging/snagging. Getting that Goldilocks "just right" is more difficult. Coming from the trout end and just getting into bass, I'm still a little stunned by the differences: 50LB. LINE?!? I'm used to 4lb!
Those Shimano Sienna's are smooth dude. Probably my favorite inexpensive smaller size reel!
I have had it for a few years, still works great!
@@RealisticFishing that's awesome. I hope mine gets to see some longevity like that
It looked as if you were using a "removable split shot". In my experience their design with the two small appendages used for removal, tend to snag a lot more over a rocky or stone river bed than the old-fashioned round split shot that look like BB's or Shot. The round split shot seem to bounce off of the rocks a bit better. You might wish to compare the two sometime. Loved your video.
It might make a tiny bit of difference, but I have snagged plenty with the round shape as well.
I used the same mouse tails in Ca and got some trout with them. I also used some with white heads and red tails as well as red heads with yellow tails. I am in Tx now but both my local lakes are at the flood stage and fishing is not good it either one unless you have a boat and can get out on it.
Have done done fishing on Ft. Hood on a couple different stocked lakes and did get a 18 lb cat a couple days ago at Nolan Lake.
wow - nice catch on these things. I have a couple of colors of the mice tails and tried them many times and never caught nothing. I usually put them on a jig hook and jig them but... no luck for me..
I like your stick stringer im gonna have to use it if i'm ever in a pinch
Way to go Alex nice fish I've never caught a trout
I think there are some in IL near Lake Michigan, if you're ever up that way.
I know they stock a couple ponds around here but you have to fight to get a spot lol
Awesome video 👍👍
Sweet fish, pretty cool bait there. Never seen these mice tails until your last videos. Pretty cool will keep that in mind next time we have trout season. Wonder if it will will work on stocked trout in a lake.
Nice catch bro...
👍
Watched this then went and bought some mouse tails..caught 2 rainbows in 30 minutes.
Nice!
I went trout fishing today. The trout they plant in the lakes around here ain't even big enough to eat one of those mouse tails.
I may have to get some mice tails for trout, they look like a good bait
Mice tail good job 👍🏻
I like 'em 👍
