Great fish guys ,Thanks for the awesome cowbell tip, will come in handy.

Bill...Been a long time! Miss fishing with you! Great to see some beautiful lake trout being caught. Still talk about the big brown trout I caught! Tight lines and safe trips! Roger Pfendler

[@BillSaiffOutdoors]

Thanks Roger! Good to hear from you. .....

[@BillSaiffOutdoors]

We generally don't troll the cowbell set-up more than 10 ft. Behind the ball. Keeping it tight to the Downrigger ball, will help the angler control the pattern.

[@adamwalters4969]

Do you run a dodger in front of them or is that spin n glows just hooked to a swivel? Thanks.

[@robgionet9582]

Can you please tell me what size Spin and Glo you are using. I want to try this set up for Lakers on Lake Simcoe once we can get over this Covid-19 uglyness. Thanks in advance and stay safe

[@BillSaiffOutdoors]

Size #2 & #4. You can also use a #1 but sometimes thats a bit too big. Generally #2 if its a single troll. The #2 with a #4 if its a tandem troll.

[@robgionet9582]

@@BillSaiffOutdoors I have one more question if you don't mind. Do you always run a double spin n glo set up? Do you find that more successful? I just received my order of Spin n Glos and am about to set some up.

[@BillSaiffOutdoors]

@@robgionet9582 I will run them as singles alot...... If the Lakers get "fed up" I will run a single tiny spin n glo with several beads between the spinner and the hook. This "set back" is like running a stinger hook. When the fickle trout comes up on the spinner- it already is on the hook!

Great video and always learning from your tutorials, keep up the good work. Not a dig but............it is pronounced Yak-a-ma to us natives to the area :)

[@BillSaiffOutdoors]

I am using a 20lb. test fluorocarbon leader.

[@scottdouglas1538]

Thank you, we’ll explained video!

[@jamesathendune9026]

Hi Captain Bill, I am a subscriber. Could you tell me which knot you use with the flourocarbon? Thanks Jim

[@BillSaiffOutdoors]

I am using the improved clinch.......I believe it's also called the TRILENE KNOT.

[@mattfelt2244]

How far do you troll your setup behind the downrigger ball

[@bmk506]

Gotta love Those shades:)

[@sagehillfarmgirl]

What size are you using for the lake trout?

[@tylerheinrich3717]

Do you also use trash can dodgers instead of cow bells

[@jmy7622]

ITS A SHAME TO KILL A TROUT OF THAT SIZE, THEY SHOULD ONLY BE FISHED IN FALL TO SPRING NO DEEPER THAN 50-60 FEET SO THEY ARENT HARMED. THE LAKE TROUT RECOVERY WILL NEVER HAPPEN IF PEOPLE KEEP PRESSURING THEM AT DEEP LEVELS,THEY NEED 50 YEARS PLUS TO GET TROHPY SIZE.

[@MichaelPhillips-jw4bj]

Yeah I have too agree that it is a shame. Especially with recovery efforts going on and the age of fish. They really tend to taste like garbage when that old anyways. Though i fully respect his right to keep legal fish and make living. Seems like skilled fisherman and a decent person.... note with a descending device you should be fine to catch them in 60 feet. They have a really great survival rate in swim blatter troubled fish ... barotrauma.ucsc.edu/descending-devices/ In some fisheries (parts of washington i believe) there mandatory to have on board. Ive heard after a certain depth there not as sucessful
