As many lake trout anglers know, there are 2 primary methods that work best for catching trout in the summertime: trolling and vertical jigging. In this video we outline how to vertical jig for these amazing fish (using some unconventional lures!), as well as touch on how to troll for them effectively.
Not much can beat fishing on a glass calm Lake Superior! So cool!
Absolutely!
Great day…enjoyed it!! Awesome glass surface!!
It doesn’t get much nicer out there!
Action packed video, thanks for the mention!!
You bet! Thanks for those awesome tubes!
Beautiful day on the big lake!
Doesn’t get much better!
I like to use my ice fishing flasher jigging. It like playing a video game!😊
Oh yeah!
Nice video!
Thanks!
Awesome video! When jigging, what's the weight on your lures/jigs?
Thanks! I like to use anywhere from 3/4 oz to 3oz depending on the current, size of bait, and depth. Obviously you can get away with less weight when it’s shallower and there is less current but you might need 2+ oz at times. The particular jig I used in the video was 1oz.
Witch billy rub scent do you use ? And for brook trout witch one doyou suggest ? Do you ship to Quebec Canada ?
I love the Cisco and alewife scents. For brook trout nightcrawler is my favorite. As far as shipping, you would have to check with Billy Rub.
how did you find the lake trout to jig for them, did you use a fish finder to find them?
We look for structure first and then usually fish it to see if we can get any to follow.
I've been fishing Lake of The Woods in Ontario for 20 years and never fished for Lakers. next summer that will be my goal. We have no trouble finding bass, Walleyes or Pike. but just don't know enough about Lakers to find them. What should I look for to find them. Don't have much as far as electronics just a basic Garmin. We had a great trip a couple weeks ago and fed the family.
Look for 2 things: bait balls in open water and once you find the bait, look for bigger arches around those bait balls. Those are likely lake trout. If you can get a jig to them while they are still on the sonar that is best but be sure to drop down even if they disappear.
@@calebwistad Thanks for the help. I have a year to learn before we go back up. I'm just a Florida Boy so I don't have much time to practice. Hey but you have to start somewhere.
What thickness of fluorocarbon do you use for lake trout leaders?
