Is smelt the only thing you guys fish for on this trip,because I've never fished for them!!!

C P · « **Reply #14 on:** Aug 20, 2009, 12:43 PM »

Its pretty easy paper mouth most guys use a lighter rod with a hali jig tipped with a spike our mouse.

I use an ultralight rod with 1lb test and and tiny teardrop. My favorites last year were the tiny diamond jigs with a single spike. I had more luck on the small tear drops but found that they were harder to land than with a hali jig for some reason.

Theres a lot of lake trout in Higgins but ive never fished for them. I guess guys use tip-ups and slammers with smelt but I dont know that much about it. Flagguy is the one to ask about that but I definitely plan on trying for them when I'm there.

skulldugary · « **Reply #15 on:** Aug 20, 2009, 03:50 PM »

Could be fishing them just below the ice or anywhere in the water colunm,Higgins is a pretty deep lake.I'll probably rig a Hali on the bottom and several hook above that....That reminds me I have to rig an underwater light set up also...

Under water light? So you fish for smelt at night,I did not know this I learned something today sweet!!!

C P · « **Reply #22 on:** Aug 22, 2009, 02:14 PM »

I bought one of those green lights last year right after the Gull Lake trip. Its sweet when the ice is clear it will make a good 20 foot cirlce of glowing green ice.

skulldugary · « **Reply #23 on:** Aug 22, 2009, 05:38 PM »

Thats good to know CP,now I won't have to buy a light....I'll just use yours...

C P · « **Reply #24 on:** Aug 22, 2009, 08:14 PM »

I'll probably lend it to Mr.Vex since I wont be around just fish by him...that is if he even plans to fish lol $:-\$

mbrooks · « **Reply #28 on:** Aug 24, 2009, 08:28 PM »

If they are in less than 20 fow like last year you can leave the lights in your truck. They bit better without them. I'm currently working on a permanant shanty to have for this next season. I hope to have em dialed in by the annual outing.

Mr.Vexilar · « **Reply #29 on:** Aug 24, 2009, 08:37 PM »

CP, I woudl reely appreciate it if you would lend me that reely cool light!!!!!!

ROCKBASS!!!!
