If you wanna catch a monster trout, use 4-6" mullet, croaker or ladyfish. just my $0.02

This is true and false in the same way.... Big trout will school with smaller trout....Big trout will also chase shrimp.... I my self have pulled trout out from under birds in the 6lb range..... And I know that one of the 10lb trout that were caught was chasing bait under some birds working.... BUt your right Big trout dont move from area to area like smaller trout....but they will school up with other big trout also.... I saw a 32lb 5 trout stringer that was all pulled in from one school and they let 6 or 7 more 5lb trout go..... Bruce can tell you about a trip he went on last year where they caught around 20 trou over 5lbs..... Lot of this also has to do with whats area your fishing....
