Back troll or slow drift is easy and works great.
@johnkern98875 ай бұрын
We're running same techniques on Superior. I have a Panther remote controlled steering on my kicker, so with steady wind speeds it's not too hard to "controlled drift" over the break lines and flats. Not as good as spotlock, but a reasonable way to stay mostly on fish. Sometimes I'm backing into 2 foot breaking waves, almost like mooching in the Pacific Northwest for salmon.

AWESOME VID!!! I’m going to a lake next week and I would like to catch my first laker but I don’t have a sonar or downriggers. Is there anyway I can catch them without electronics???
@BendItFishing6 ай бұрын
Use a swim bait or big spoon drop it to bottom and then jig it aggressively a few times and then reel it to the surface and repeat!

@@BendItFishing Sweet! It looks like high fish density up there based on your videos and sonar pics. The only lake trout fishing i’ve done is in NW Michigan. I don’t see as many fish up there but a few are quite big. I’ve only been trolling for them but looking forward to some of the Jigging techniques next time out. I actually used a very similar jigging technique to catch halibut in the 40-120 pound range last time in Alaska. It just works for bottom huggers (basically the exact same jig set up just one pound instead of 1 oz jigs).

If you are jigging for lake trout you need a spot lock. I got it mine in September 2023. Now I regret i did not get the more advanced one that pulls out / in electronically. Pedal would have also been useful. Night and day again an anchor.

A $23 other part. plus labor at $150. an hr!close to 1K this year! The thing is gone once it is fixed! Be a new motor that's for sure! Not even or about broke in! Not much else can go wrong with it now?? 2 years ago put a new brain in it and a bunch of other parts. can't remember now what they were over the 5 or 6 years we have had it! We don't go much and it needs to be run a lot more than we run it! I will stick with the older motors from now on!
