Hi,
This year is the first that I have fished at Aurora, and I have done well on bait as well as lures. I have stayed on the north end, near the scuba area. Bait - I've only used salmon eggs and fished off the bottom at about 30' out. Every few minutes I crank my reel about 3-5 times until I get a strike. It has worked almost every time. Lures - My #1 choice is a #7 Floating Rapala in the rainbow trout pattern. I cast as far as I can and use a crank and stop method. The rainbows attack that lure. I've also been lucky with various Panther Martins. Good Luck.
