  1. ive found that corn for trout is great its odd but it seriously works the best me and my friends go in my woods to trout streams and catch about 20 in a hour of fishing just with corn a split shot and a gatsumaka hook


  2. Firstly, it's spelled 'bait'.

    Secondly, Bluefin Tuna is saltwater and rainbow trout is freshwater. I hope you're not planning on catching both from the same place.

    To answer your question:

    Bluefin Tuna bite on live bait, usually a large anchovy. But you can also catch them on a frozen squid.

    Rainbow Trout are less finicky. They'll bite on salmon eggs floating cheese bait, grubs or worms. I'd recommend taking some of each.

    As a side note, both fish will bite on a lure if you want to go that route. (bigger for the bluefin, smaller for the trout)

    Bring a full box of tackle and be prepared to make adjustments as you see fit. Happy fishing.

  3. Interesting fish to couple in one question.  Bluefin tuna bite on a number of baits, one to the best is a rigged bluefish.  Probably more winter bluefin are caught on horse ballyhoo than all other baits combined though.  That is the primary bait on the winter fishing grounds for bluefin which is basically off the outer banks of N.C..  There are a number of lures used too, every year, early in the summer or late in the spring time, there are some big bluefins caught in the Northern Gulf of Mexico by folks trolling for marlin, they are normally caught on either rigged spanish mackeral or soft head marlin lures by moldcraft with a hard head "kona" style lure thrown in at times. A method used in Japan and in the indo-pac basin is to either vertical jigging with what are known as knife jigs (shimano butterfly jigs are an example) or cast surface poppers. Special tackle is used for both the methods with either high tech spinning or conventional reels and extra tuff space age designed rods and braided line with flourocarbon leaders.

    As for rainbow trout... alot of places where you have rainbow trout, bait is illegal to use, but if it is allowed (normally put and take trout streams) corn, salmon eggs and night crawlers drifted through deep holes and an old trick is to inject one end of the night crawler with a hypodermic full of air, this makes him much more visible.  As for lures, rooster tails are probably the most commonly used for spinning tackle and then flies with either a fly matching the hatch or a good attractor fly such as a royal wolff.
