We were trying for lakers too, but Cargo was the only one successful in jig up any. Olefish caught a laker in 11 ft. then turnered around and jigged up a northern from the bottom at 50 ft.
To answer a few of your questions POk3s.We really don't travel much maybe we might move our houses several hundred yards each day in a particular area.When fishing Peck if your line is in the water you are fishing for whatever is hungry.I do believe traveling, searching for Lakers is worth the time, but I have noticed that the best times for jigging up a Laker is the first few hours of morning and the last hours of day light.That being said last year we saw mid morning being good. I have fished many nights without much luck using Glow stuff.When it comes to Laker fishing thats where we need someone with your expertise. The " Laker King "I have been fishing most of my life and I don't know if there is anything more enjoyable than jigging up a Lake Trout. POk3s I really can't imagine your experiences fishing Lakers. It differently gets in your blood.Back to targeting fish species Ft Peck is 135 miles long with 1,500 hundred miles of shore line. Go pick a spot! Over the years I have seen many 10lb plus walleyes come from mud flats areas. When most fisherman will pick rocky shore lines or rocky main points. Don't overlook anything the mud, way up in bays, anything. I would like to say this about olefish and wyohunter these guys are season vets. These guys might play down the simplicity of tip up fishing, but I have watched them setup there lines.What kind of hooks do you use, trebles, singles, quick strike, closepins etc..what size? Then what size bait sm. med. large, extra large?Where do you hook the minnow lips, dorsal, behind the dorsal, tail, anus, upside down?Do you use Bling on your sets? Not a bad idea hey wyohunter! I do think you are more likely to catch a ling or an eye closer to the bottom. But not always it Peck! hey olefish with a Laker from 11' feet of water at night!!!! If you are up off the bottom several feet probably more likely to catch Northerns and Lakers, but not always it's Peck!It's big water all I can say go experience it. But living on the water can make a difference.We would check lines sometime at 10 or 11 o'clock at night. pray for good weather!The result of the pictures I posted are 7 days - 24 hr days, keep that in mind.
