1/8 Rooster Tail Spinners or 3/16 oz DareDevil Spoon. Black and White
or Red and White usually clean up. The larger the fish the longer
they'll need to acclimatize. These fish strike because they are hungry.
It will take a week or two for territory to matter.

They dumped a truckload of hatchery trout into our local 1/4 - 1/2 acre pond
a few days ago.
Got a pole. A reel. Some line. Some green glittery floating smelly
PowerBait.
Put a small sliding egg sinker above a barrel swivel. Attached a couple of
feet of invisible leader with a single #12 hook.
I plan on having my son fish off the bottom.
Sound like a good rig and a good plan?

Next question. I have a ski boat. I don't know how fast I'm going when I'm
at a no wake speed. How fast is too fast for trolling?

Next question: What's the best way to rig a KastMaster for surface trolling?
Line to KastMaster? Line to barrel swivel to KastMaster? Line to snap to
KastMaster?

Next question: If the surface temp is too warm for trout, how do I get the
lure to run at a desired depth?

Like I said: beginner knowledge base and experience.
