Oh yea, one of the lakers I caught today was loaded with little critters. Not sure what they were. They where whitish in color. Looked like a bb with two little tails on it and they were tiny. Kinda gross looking. I think I read somewhere in this topic about whatever they are and im not sure I could have put that one on a plate even if it was a keeper.
This is my first time targeting lake trout but I just realized that they aren't in season right now...Isnt it illegal to target a fish when its not in season..
hay fishinfool you box is full.lol i can't send you a pm.
Twins caught on 4 lb out of the same hole in 35fow. 1 strip on the salmon set, that was the only flag for the day. Has anyone caught a salmon this year?
Went out both days from huddle ... Filled the perch bucket Saturday .... Went in-between sweet briar and out to the crack at 80 feet deep On sunday ...Lots of chasers ... Not many people around ... Landed a few 21 inch lakers .. 8 inches of ice on the jigsaw looking stuff ... My wife got her first laker jigging ...
Sunday I went out for the day with a buddy. Our goal was to get some perch in the 1st half of our day and then explore an area in the north basin that I haven't fished yet. THere was a fishing party out on the lake in front of Indian Kettles.. As we approached, they appeared to be doing well. They had a couple fish on the ice, were using interesting techniques of walking away from the hole jigging and then walking back to it. Longer rods 40" + and big spoons. Trying to figure out how to get out near them while completely respecting their area, we walked around their party trying to say hello and be friendly. They were a grumpy bunch of wise asses... We asked how deep it is out here and if any luck? One guy pointed to a fish on the ice and then the other said, we're fishing the bottom not revealing the depth. After we walked a minimum of a hundred yards away from them we sat down and tried jigging a little in 150 FOW.. I Overheard them saying "wow! those guys don't know what the F&&& they're doing" ... Well no kidding dummy, thats why we are covering the lake with a vex checkin depths and looking for fish. Excuse me for not inherently having all the lake knowledge immediately after a couple years of fishing. I love rednecks.. i hate miserable, unwelcoming, unfriendly rednecks. This is why I go out on the ice and am nervous about saying hello to people. Anyways, Ended up catching my first laker and it was an awesome experience. I keep catching them in perch land with a tiny swedish pimple. I know the numbers wont be there in perch country but it was really fun. Got a laker saturday and broke it off and in the same spot sunday i got another. Fun stuff..I get it now
