I fish in NY, and jig exclusively. All of my lake trout fishing gets done on large mid-depth or deep flats, depending on the forage base. I head to gps way points from previous trips, or i will just hole hop my way across the flat, 100 - 300 feet at a time, till I start running into schools of trout. i usually jig about 10-30 feet off bottom and wait for the fish to come charging up.
I fish almost exclusively for lake trout, I have my go to spots on our local lakes. We can only use 2 rods in this area, one dead stick with a tube jig and minnow, sculpin or meat, hanging 1"-2" off bottom. Jig the other, tube jig or spoon. Points, humps, river channels. I have caught them from 6' - 180' deep.
