This is definitely my favorite channel for big lake fishing! Thank you

[@randyradloff6660]

Great video. Thank you

[@dominicfederighe2871]

Love the Round Table. More Tournament Talk!!

[@jamesathendune9026]

Thank you very helpful! Only lakers in my area, LOTW and no one is fishing for them besides myself. So at times my learning curve is steep.

[@AdamLipinski397]

I fish a lot of trout in Lake Huron and switched to Chamberlain releasesa couple years ago. Hands down better than any other release. You can adjust the tension to release even on the smallest fish. No more shakers.

[@97mvlions]

This video is great Adam! I missed this one somehow. Doug was always talking about how good the trout ate to eat.

[@joshtrahin9881]

Great content I am new to the fishery and have a great deal to learn. This channel is a wonderful resource. I wish I could just go to the description section and order some of the bait rigs you guys recommend.

[@Reel2ReelOutdoors]

Go to capt-chuck.com/ or give them a call they can help you get what you need. Talk to Capt. Cory, he will set you up!

[@garya9875]

Great video lot of great content. What’s your trolling speed for lakers and the silvers?

[@shanetrudell4061]

Random? I only have a14' boat is it worth trying to fish the Pier Marquette lake yet.

[@Reel2ReelOutdoors]

Not yet. I haven’t seen any fish in there on my sonar

[@shanetrudell4061]

[@ronmacdougall9612]

Cowbells still work great for Lakers,I haven’t run any spin doctors yet,I will have to give them a shot

[@Reel2ReelOutdoors]

Cowbells do work well but by using the spin doctors we can fish at a much faster speed and continue to catch silver fish while catching trout. I recommend everyone give them a try!!

[@jasonbelter1819]

What time of year do you start fishing for lake trout? Soon as you can get out?

[@Reel2ReelOutdoors]

They are getting them now. It will get better as the water temps get into the 40s.

[@brockus35]

Should like spin dr be glo after a certain depth??

[@Reel2ReelOutdoors]

We have not found that to be the case. I think maybe the whirly gig or spin n glo should but we have caught fish deeper than 300’ with a chrome blade. I think it is more about how the blade stir up the bottom.

[@brockus35]

@@Reel2ReelOutdoors wow 300 lol man I have never fished water deeper than 170. So the fish is actually 300ft down???

[@purerushoutdoors7624]

How far behind the ball for the spin doctors and whirly gigs?

[@Reel2ReelOutdoors]

We run them between 20-30’

[@purerushoutdoors7624]

Reel 2 Reel Outdoors thanks! You’re videos are awesome, I fish Lake Superior in the apostle islands and was curious how you guys do things over there! Keep up the good work!

[@bobtate6812]

Are you catching Lake Trout all trough season? Lake Ontario northern shore I get them in May bottom at 100'. They disappear in June. Is it worth chasing them at over 100' ? It gets tricky , downrigger line gets too long. You never know if you are still near bottom.

[@Reel2ReelOutdoors]

We catch them all year. Deepest on the bottom I have caught one is 380’. 23# canon ball.

[@bobtate6812]

@@Reel2ReelOutdoors wow. At what depth are you getting them in: May, June, July on Lake Michigan? I only use 10lb weights + 8" spindoc with whirly gig. Bob, Salmon Catcher Fishing Charters, Port Credit, Ontario. Thank you. In my waters in May Lake Trout hangs at 100' feet. Smalest fish in 2022 season was 8lb, largest 25lb, average 10-15 lb

[@Reel2ReelOutdoors]

@@bobtate6812 We fish them in 40-100’ in May. Then just keep sliding out as the bottom temps warm up. I like colder than 48 on the bottom for trout. I rely heavily on the electronics to find them.

[@jamesathendune9026]

Can you provide a link where I can see a picture of this lake trout release as described?. It almost sounds like you are using two inline releases together . Or is it just a solitary release with a rubber band keeping the tension?

[@Reel2ReelOutdoors]

It’s is two spin doctor swivels with 18” of 30# mono in between. Rubber band to the line

[@Reel2ReelOutdoors]

I will make a quick video too.

[@guidepatricktherrien]

@@Reel2ReelOutdoors Hi, can you put a link for the video with the rubber thing ? I would like to se that. Thank you !

[@seanallwardt5961]

Are you guys worried about the PCB s in the Lakers. I read a article that pcb are higher in the Lakers.

[@Reel2ReelOutdoors]

I think they are like any Great Lakes fish, if you clean correctly they are fine in moderation.

[@scottbeck9186]

what are good ways to prepare Lakers

[@Reel2ReelOutdoors]

We will be releasing a fishing show next week with some great recipes in it!! Stay Tuned!
