I would go longer on the pole if you are fishing from shore, heavier on the
line and lighter on the lead. Remember that a lot of times the fish aren't
out in the midlle of the lake. Those Trout like to cruise the shores in
the mornings and evenings and move deeper during the day.

If you have a longer pole with a little bit of action you can cast bait a
loooong way. This time of year I would probably go with floating powerbait
on a carolina rig. Either that if they have just planted the lake or it is
early or late in the day, use a sinking powerbait and a bobber and just
drop it down a foot or so.
