They Live In The Deep (Trout Jigging)

Visiting the folks this week and made a stop at the finger lakes. Jigged about 10 lakers on mini macks. Mark them cruising on the bottom or stop and bait to get the big one!

You may be the first person in history to say Lakers are like Bluefish! Lol! Nice vid. Good to see I'm not the only one catching those without downriggers and dipseys. My pb on the Finger Lakes so far is about 20lbs. (through the ice). Try dropping your jig to the bottom, jig it twice and start cranking it to the surface- fast! Pause the lure every, 3 or 4 turns and keep cranking, they will sometimes follow all the way and grab it on the top in 70-80fow!

[@thegoodlightllc4093]

I very much appreciate what you do. No hype, just give me the facts.

[@gundersonflooringanddesign4064]

I used to catch all my lake trout on Kensico reservoir Rye New York. I like your method of catching them. We used to use sawbellies, sink them down on a fishfinder when you see the schools. Mostly they would only bite in the morning though. Seems like you're catching them in the middle of the day. If I belly hooked them I would bring them home for the grill. Best ways to cut them into cross-sections like salmon. Put them directly on the grill. There's lots of fat in the skin that drips down. The flames lick up and put them good flavor on the meat. Then you just use a fork and lightly flaking off the bone as you eat it. Good-sized fish you were catching there!

[@StriperScott]

I've been following you for a while, I grew up on canandaigua, went to school in Ithaca. My brother is dying to know the secret to catching trout on those lakes without an elaborate system. You've been incredibly helpful!

[@fishnmusicn]

I see some guys using big white tubes, do you know if they work? I'm still trying to jig up my first lake trout and they are still a mystery to me, so far no go. Great catches :)

[@TackleAdvisors]

The dogfish of freshwater....lmao

[@heavyfire99]

@eliasvfishing what rods are you using for the lakers?

[@FishHawk]

Heck yeah! Nice fish man!

[@woodystemms3799]

What was the approximate native / stocker ratio? Didn't see any Pro-Cure onboard. Any Smallmouth there, over rock or gravel points? Enjoy the clear Summer water, without sharks.

[@EliasVFishing]

70% wild on this day.

[@EliasVFishing]

Some smallies, but double digits laker days with a potential 15lber is the draw for me.

[@woodystemms3799]

@@EliasVFishing If there was a chance for a 7 lb Smallmouth, versus a 15 lb. Laker ... it would be a tossup in my book. ; )

[@philipgeraldi5724]

I was just on lake Cayuga did good with the lakers and salmon

[@rachelthompson9324]

it;s not letting out air, it's last night's re-fried beans

[@danl.909]

Beautiful trout. Nice to get away from the summer heat. I envy you, E. It’s been brutally hot on the Alabama coast this season, and the surf is full of hardheads.

[@dontarguewithfools]

Yes sir. I'm North Alabama and it's been brutal. Much love from NA

[@rupertmedford3901]

"Go terrorize the bottom, ok..."

[@scoobydiving]

Perfect timing. I’m also visiting my folks here in the upstate area, a little further east though. Used to do a ton of SCUBA in the finger lakes. Deep, clear, cold water. You could be sweating bullets on the surface but freeze your B’s off on the bottom. Always dove drysuit there. Cheers mate.

[@xxoczukxx]

damnit... i just bought a stradic ci4 a couple months ago. could probably have grabbed two of these stradic if i had waited

[@shawnsmith7750]

Are you on canadaguia?

[@InshoreYakerTV]

Nice video brother!!! It was nice meeting you this past week. Maybe we can go out this fall!!! I am also gonna target some popping cork bulls when I get back from Panama

[@madmaan12]

All that water and another boat just comes in within 50 yards.

[@loonytooner3170]

LOL Up here they will come right up beside you. That's when I tell them, smile, I.ll make you famous. LOL

[@jordanlittle5391]

Love to see fresh water stuff

[@curtreese1398]

Crushed them on Keuka this weekend mostly in 50-70 FOW. When you keep these, im assuming you snip their gills and throw them on ice? I had one that didn't look to healthy when cleaning after a long day in the well.

[@KnifeCrazzzzy]

Beautiful fish man, dang have you been in North Carolina that long already, have you heard about the flesh eating disease in the water going around?

[@anyoneofus9948]

The fishing in my area is been really bad, first we had red tide last year and this year the three best fish are closed to repopulate other areas effected by it. Now we have flesh eating bacteria in the water so even a small cut could cost you a limb or even death! And all the fresh water is plagued by green algae. People are still fishing, I guess they like to take their chances.

[@tournot]

You are what the southerners call a Half Back! Went to Flordia and only made it halfway back to NY (stayed In NC)

[@badfishingbissanschlagdril3637]

Nice vid👀👍🏼🎣

[@TheRustedHook]

Take a shot every time "chicken" is said....Bombed in 10 min....

[@streettechfishing4204]

Nice bro

[@garym1226]

If you're keeping the Lakers for dinner are the natives better eating than the stockies?

[@brianmcmanus6446]

I just started fishing canadaguia lake in a kayak cool to see you cathing trout and knowing a good setup new subscriber btw

[@paulfennell01]

Hey E do you bleed the fish before putting it into the catch bag?

[@AjLynn45thParallelFishing]

Nicely Done ~ You make it look pretty easy.

[@dylanzrim1011]

You gotta visit Australia man, I can point you in the right directions for spots

[@swimmerdawg123]

Would love to see you hit the backwaters and try sight fishing!!! thanks for Vid. I am liking how versatile your paddle tails are.

[@nickmaraveyias1185]

Yikes! Those sweet water fish will skunk your gear!

[@jameskattau1135]

Great job enjoy that video. I hope you have a great vacation enjoy your family.

[@arabarran]

Looks like a lipless crankbait would be a killer for that lake.

[@loonytooner3170]

Nice. Enjoyed. We do the same up here. Dead stick for Lakers. Play the chase game. It's a blast. I have some videos of big Lakers from lake Simcoe.

[@loonytooner3170]

What's with the Chicken saying ?

[@patrickfuller6018]

Planning to get after them hard here on the western FGLs this week..

[@mclark8441]

Well done, great fight! Safe travels to NC. Hope to see you on a tarpon sleigh ride. Some are already moving outside the CF

[@scottclausen4406]

Enjoyed that. Nicely done. Thank you, as always, for bringing us along.

[@dylanmcgovern1253]

U should travel back to ny and try the procure

[@TwoFishermenfromisrael]

Great video got sane kayak

[@bigjuanflorida4256]

What brand fishing net do you use.

[@ipathvvv]

[@charlesg.russella8405]

Is your dad with Cornell?

[@montanatatum9598]

Good to see you release the big old one.

[@mikewhitaker2306]

Nice to have some variety in fishing surprised you have not done any Largemouth videos

[@EliasVFishing]

Did some this winter

[@tacklecentralfishing1051]

You need a bigger net.

[@southforked3233]

Great video as always @EliasVFishing ! Have you ever made a rigging video? I'm creeping all of them to try to figure out what I want to do to mine when I get back in the States.

[@benhannum5075]

The king of jigging

[@Fatfish516]

Back at Cayuga?

[@jimcatx3090]

Great video

[@mr_herobrineman1190]

hey

[@jdogg661420]

man you always smash em! the way you know the fish.. I bet you could pull out a 5-10lb largemouth in a day.. you should at least try a few.. im on shore and on pressured water.. I need a truck and a rig like your kayak... then I bet I could get more lunks.. I did get a nice one from shore the other day on vid, you might even like to see her. 25 inch 16 inch girth. . the largemouth here are super smart by 2 lbs.. so ya its challenging. but its worth it when score the nice ones.. keep smashing them hogs.

[@Triberius]

Man I wish I’d know you were going to be on Cayuga, I’d have tried to come out and fished with you. Believe it or not we have similar circumstances. You transplanted to NC and are learning the fisheries there, I transplanted from NC to Upstate NY and am learning the fisheries here.

[@blkaudiofan]

Just noticed in all the videos of yours I’ve watched, you never bleed the fish you keep. Do you do it off cam or just don’t bleed them?

[@EliasVFishing]

Off camera usually - sensitive folks out there

[@tb5255]

Up visiting the parents..eh?

[@EliasVFishing]

Yessir

[@tb5255]

Hope you're having a good visit!! Any better table fare species fishing? ;-)
