TROLLING FOR TROPHY LAKE TROUT

I finally get my boat out on the water and chase some trophy lake trout using our Large Lake Trolls and the 6.5" Mega Tubes. Trolling 60-90 ft putting these our tube jig as close to the bottom as we can withour tearing our equipment up.

Hello Colton I have been watching your friend Don for the last couple years and have learned a lot from him. This video is great. I used to fish flaming gorge with my dad for big Lakers about 30 years ago. Back then he made his own lake trolls and they were top secret haha we used to pull them out of the water and get them down in the boat so others couldn't see what we were using. We primarily fished for the Lakers with steel line dragging bottom rigged with lake trolls and various patterns of large flat fish. I watched Don's video the other day using your lake troll and it sparked my memories. You make great products and I have been trying to catch some Kokanee with my son with your stuff. So far we have not had to much luck but I know the fishing has been tough the last couple years. But I am going to stick with it I am sure I will have a lucky day sooner or later haha. Keep up the good work Colton I am going to keep watching you and Don to learn all I can thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Thank you for your support. Kokanee fishing has been tough, but I believe the state agencies will get this back on track over the next few years.

[@HuntGatherChatters]

Very nice lakers, I usually jig for them but you've convinced me to try trolling.

[@richardgibbs307]

Flipping heck that was a nice one! Can't believe you were able to get him in yourself.

[@roytallericoGunner]

When I left there and I trolled Dustin Deana lake trolls I noticed alot of jiggers and I can tell you they do better for big fish now. Still all I used since the seventys was my pop gear. Stuff works.

I’ve known about tube jigs for lakers for a while, but this is the first I’ve seen trolling a tube jig. Nice fish!

[@LakeShoreTackle08]

Thanks

[@borbonrj]

That's a lot of bling. I catch em on 1.5 inch Little Cleo spoons. No flasher, no dodger, no down rigger in spring from kayak. Got a 10lber I weighed a few weeks ago on my channel.

Worth the wait!!!!! He teased us yesterday with the reel showing the pole bouncing. Great work Man! AWESOME VIDEO

[@LakeShoreTackle08]

It takes me a minute to put all the clips together

[@garyharrington5300]

I'd bet thesilver,Grey flake is gona get em

[@NookBoo]

That set up sounds like the "I just got married!" set up.

[@LakeShoreTackle08]

Haha that is funny

[@beeksoutdoors]

Your a bad mamajama landing your own trophies! #onlyway!

[@chubbrock659]

Awesome video, thanks for sharing.I’m trying to learn the ropes of these big fish out there. I also fish off a sun tracker, love it. Sub’d!

[@LakeShoreTackle08]

Thanks for watching. We love my sun tracker, but do want to get a little bigger.

[@warrendonaldson4144]

No trolling rudder, no line twist? Love the videos...

[@LakeShoreTackle08]

No, not a problem.

[@JR497]

Very nice! What kind of release clip are you using?

[@LakeShoreTackle08]

Offshore "red" heavy

[@erichunter14]

How do you set that up? Doesnt that pop gear pull out of the clip?

[@LakeShoreTackle08]

I use the off shore brand red clips which is their heavy tension clip.

[@dagoood1]

New subscriber. Do you tip the tube jig with any meat?

[@LakeShoreTackle08]

No but you could.

[@codybohin759]

What pound test is your leader and then your regular line?

[@LakeShoreTackle08]

30 pound on both

[@cuylerbrown3462]

What speed do you troll that type of rig?

[@LakeShoreTackle08]

1.4 to 1.7

[@roytallericoGunner]

I handmade those trolls for years..then the big companies caught on.

[@BigAlFishingAddiction]

Awesome I am going to try for the first time this week at Bear Lake in Utah. What lb of line would you use?

[@LakeShoreTackle08]

I run 30-40 pound monofilament.

[@BigAlFishingAddiction]

@LakeShoreTackle08 Thanks I was going to use 3olb braid to 20lb momo

[@briggs13a]

Do these lake trolls work at bear lake ? Thanks

[@LakeShoreTackle08]

@briggs13a Yes, we have had several anglers use these at bear lake.

[@DYFishing83]

What rods are you using?

[@LakeShoreTackle08]

Eagle claw starfire

[@DYFishing83]

@@LakeShoreTackle08 thank you

[@DYFishing83]

Is 20lb mono with a 15lb floro heavy enough line?

[@LakeShoreTackle08]

@Derek Yates short answer is yes, until it isn't. I have had 4 fish this year break my 30 pound test.

[@DYFishing83]

@@LakeShoreTackle08 ok thank you

[@that1dude628]

Are Lake Trout any good to eat?

[@LakeShoreTackle08]

The small ones are great

[@nathanmccullough7755]

small ones are and keeping them is encouraged. The larger ones really should not be kept both because they aren't great to eat but more importantly, because they are a very slow growing fish. The trophy class fish are decades old. Keeping them is very bad for the fishery and really is not a sustainable practice.
