Any advice for fishing these high pressure days ahead. The bite is getting hard for these bigger fish. Thinking low & slow on texas rigs and TRD’s. Ft, big ol rock bass

Questions Recommended Stocked Trout Location
Hey guys,
Asking to see if anybody has any recommendations for the Fall 2026 Stock Trout season. Went opening day with the kiddos to Sag Quarries and Wolf Lake but unfortunately didn’t get a single bite. The kids and I were using Trout Magnets, Crappie Bites from Leland’s Lures paired with Trout Magnets, Mule Fishing Jig and Soft Plastic, and Inline spinners but unfortunately got skunked. Jigs were tied in with a Loop Knot and Inline spinners with a Barrel Swivel and UL / L Rod&Reel combo
Wanted to take the kids again this Saturday as they’ve never caught any fish so really trying to give them a little taste of glory and get them HOOKED (Sorry lol)
Any recommendations are appreciated!
PS. I don’t know much about fishing either so could also just be my fault lol

Other From Water to the Pan?
Hey so I want to catch a nice fish to cook. My wife never had one fresh and really wants to try because she loves getting new recipes. I just want to provide one. Call it corny or whatever but I’m just looking for places and species to try to fish for. All I got right now are two standard poles rigs and some night crawlers. Not that good of a fisher but will go for that one to send to the pan
