icefishin for lake trout (traverse/interlochen/higgins lake)

[TedhomesTedder]

I try to make as much time for ice fishing as i can and i do...so i like to fish during the weekdays early morning for lake trout thru early ice. With that said i got all the tackle  and equipment spots and techniques  needed for me and 1 or 2 more people. So i got everything besides someone to go with me on most days so let me know if your interested in meeting me at a lake to go fish.

That is something I really want to try this year... Ive been watching youtube videos, and it sure looks like my kind of fun! Too bad I live in Indiana and only get up there on weekends or you would get tired of me Ted... ;-)

Ha! Well im around trying to fish on the weekends too...so dont hesitate to get in touch if your around. I will keep fishn the whole ice season. Its just that early ice during weekdays is my prefered time to be on the lakes! Goodluck out there! Flags up! -ted

Welcome Ted.  I may be interesting in meeting up.  My wifes side of the family just moved up to the West side of TC and close to a lot of good lakes.  I used to live up that way and know a few of the obvious places but its been about 10 years.  Still have some of my lake trout set ups, and few po's and sandkickers as well..  I hope the bay settles down and freezes this year as I would like to get out.  Also do a lot of smelt fishing and have all the lights, etc. if that's your game.

Thanks for the welcoming. Ive never fished for smelts thru ice. But id like to i have rods and jigs just no light set up. I also like the idea of catching smelt at night and using em for live bait in the morn for trout from the same lake. I also.am wishing for the bay to freeze but its not looking that way so far. Let me know if your  trying to go out. I read they are catching smelt on green lake and ima try for trout there this weekend....
