Tough Fishing Tuesday..Smart trout!

[15FOOTER]

It was too damn nice out Brought 4 smallies to the boat mostly smaller 2-3lbs 17-18" and one larger one 21" 4.9lbs. Missed every trout we had on as well (some good ones). I can not for the life of me figure out a better method to get them on herring. Stingers dont work to well because I swear they see it and the rod with the stinger wont get touched. We have tried circle, octopus, and trebles and theres really no difference. Any creative ideas guys? Noticed most of the boats out really deep around 150' in no mans land. Fish are definitely feeding just not as aggressive with the cooler water.
