Great advise on fishing the drop offs, another way to tell is if you follow your lure down on the sonar and it keeps falling after it hits the bottom of your sonar, ya know your on a steep drop off.

[@pikeelkmasterthebeast1578]

Holy smoke! Actually worth my subscription! A video containing worthy information and not some yahoo posting evidence that they like to talk. Keep up the good work. Hell, I'll even watch some of your on the ice videos because of this. LOL

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

LOL!!! Thanks! There are some really good tutorials on the channel. If you like Lake Trout check out the "How to Jig Lake Trout" videos. The Advanced Techniques video is very detailed!

[@bigdawgwb2013]

Got my first 6 1/2 lbs laker today because of you. Thank you brother!

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

Oh that's awesome!!!! I love hearing things like this! 🙂👊

[@mainetroutwhisperer]

I think later in the season you are correct with the baitfish but also I think the oxygen levels in the deeper parts of the lake are get lower and lower since it’s locked up with ice, so the move to more shallow water

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

Nice! Thanks for the feedback! I really didn't think about oxygen levels....

[@Snitchols]

Super informative video as always. Those ditches are basically under water points, as you know any point is a great place to find fish.

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

Mmmm hmmm! Underwater structure is the bomb!

[@jeffaustin6704]

Following the vid and making comments as we go along... As for LG ya know one of the best places to fish is called the "flats" between Dome Island, Phelps Island, and the YMCA camp on Pilot Knob. Just about all flat. Otherwise known as the "Golden Triangle" with actually was cut of from ice fishing years ago.

[@jeffaustin6704]

Also if you see them fish coming through and don't bite, change your lure out. Spoon to plastic and so forth .... The vibration change might trigger them to turn them on.

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

I agree with all of your comments! It sounds like you probably haven't seen some of my other videos. I go into detail on a lot of the things your brought up in your comments! The Advanced Techniques video is probably right up your alley. Check it out here kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3KbdpuZi8ZsjJI

[@romanzabaras5049]

Thanks for the advice been out catching lots of them in the 2-8 pound range here in bc

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

Sweet!! I hope your ice in BC is better than what we have this year! I would love to find a place that has bigger lakers.. Our average is 24" and a really big one here is around 29-30".

[@romanzabaras5049]

White Dog Outdoors Yeah the ice on our lakes right now is around 16” we’ve been slaying the lakers and burbs lately got into a 8 lb burbot!! But in the summer here a big laker is 40”+ and around 30lbs

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

@@romanzabaras5049 Oh man... that sounds awesome!

[@jakedearden1118]

Thank you been chasing a big laker my whole life. Old habits have been killing me

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

Old habits tend to kill us all! Learning something new that leads to success is very rewarding! Good luck!

[@jeffaustin6704]

Lnot sure if ya remember me but ya have me a honorable mention years ago, on a fishing fourm ( forgot which one ) thinks is Ice Shanty.... I'm Reel Force...

[@hasty3609]

No it's not any different cause my lakes are your lakes! Thanks! Hunt x works good too!

[@不经意之间]

Thanks, great video!

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

Thanks. Glad you liked it!

[@michaelmccoy8667]

Thanks so much for the info!

[@aidenrovers7440]

Just downloaded the app and it’s super helpful. Most spots on the lake that look good tend to be in 100-130 feet of water. Is 100-130 feet to deep to fish off the bottom? Thx so much for all the valuable info!

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

Lake Trout love deep water. Some of the best spots are the really deep stuff. Give it a try!

[@aidenrovers7440]

Will do, thx so much for the replies

[@Dillon-Rowley]

Might be a dumb question but do you have any luck fishing deep holes vs. inside turns or underwater peninsulas? I'm sure its good to try everything but I'm curious what your thoughts are.

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

Honestly, they all produce fish for me. I haven't noticed one being better than another. They are all good areas to try!

[@ericcarpenter7553]

I'm really starting to enjoy catching Lake Trout! Thanks for the info.

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

Absolutely! I'm glad you're enjoying the channel and catching lakers!

[@ethandobbs3383]

Great video 👍

[@garytyler4382]

GREAT video. Ryan Baker shared it. Great information

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

Thanks... That's Ryan Baker's buddy Jon in the picture. The 3 of us hit the ice last year and Jon's fish was the best one that day.

[@walterrussell7584]

Are you fishing on Lake George Michigan Lake George Lake

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

My home water is Lake George, NY. We have a lot of lakers but they don't get too big here. A 30" laker is the mark everyone hopes to get on this lake but they're rare. I just got one this weekend for the first time.

[@jamiemadill9539]

I haven't watched many of your video as of yet but this is A Video I would Recommend to any1 just starting out or any1 that doesn't full understand topographic maps n contour lines.. There's not a lot of you tube video's on them.. And the video's there are dont take enough time explaining how to read them or key ares .. One thing I've noticed different with your video's and appreciate is you take the time to explain most key things to checking more fish.. This video your explained it pretty in depth N people will catch more fish because of it.. Most these guys will give you the info you need but wont emphasize the real key tips so unless your experienced and already know what that one key thing there doing is your prob will miss it .. anyways your Videos are a little different because you do highlight the main key tips for catching more fish.. any1 that's watched this video even if they never fished before will be able to download that apt on there phone follow your instructions/tips and fine lake trout on a lake.. Great job

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

Thanks... I enjoy breaking things down to understandable pieces and helping others. My day job similar to this but in technology. Fishing is more fun than technology though :)

[@jamiemadill9539]

@@WhiteDogTrailCompany Be cool if you did more Videos like this explaining contour lines n the maps .. I don't think there's enough videos on them..trying to fine info on keying in on good fishing spots using contour lines and topographic map.. And there so many different types lakes out there some are from of structure while others have very little .. Idk I'd personally would be interested in seeing more Videos on them..

[@gerardmorel8147]

Rely good content thanks

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

Thanks! Hopefully it helps you be successful on the ice!

[@yamforlife]

Great video.

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

Thanks!

[@fishinghunting7275]

In the winter Lakers go everywhere I have seen them flying up right under the ice eating bugs from the bottom of the ice. You always have to move your lure away from the Lakers they hit when they chase. Find a steep point.

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

Yes... I know! This is my entire method. Watch this if you have not already! Goes into detail on how I do it all! kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3KbdpuZi8ZsjJI

[@SeamusVT]

Another great video, thanks. i am sitting under one of Kurts pictures, though its a lot smaller.

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

My parents have a camp in Old Forge so we've gotten to know Kurt pretty well. I literally cannot go up there without stopping by his shop and talking with him for a while. He is such an awesome guy and incredibly talented! We have a smaller picture of his too and I even have a really small one at work to put me in a better mood... His pictures make me feel happy!

[@garytyler4382]

Thank you. Very informative video.

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

Thanks Gary... I got your other message too and will respond.

[@SnappySnapfire]

Thanks for the info. Was looking to fish my lake trout lake here in minnesota and the lake is 150ft deep so this help a ton on how to locate the fish ^_^

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

That's awesome! Good luck this season!

[@SnappySnapfire]

@@WhiteDogTrailCompany Thanks bud you as well!

[@DownstreamDownrange]

Cool video man!!! I might try the battenkill again late this week I see warm temps ! Might be a ton of run off ....

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

Thanks! I might get out for some fly fishing this weekend myself... we'll see if I can get the time! I haven't held a fly rod in waaaaay too long! I probably will not hit the Bkill though... just not my favorite place these days... I need to do some euro nymphing though!!

[@jeffaustin6704]

Start deeper... Gives the Laker more time to chase. lost a lot at the hole as they ran out of chase time.

[@Filling_tags]

Do you wanna fish where there’s bait?? I have a school of smelt under me all nignt

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

Yes! Finding bait is good! Lakers will be around them.

[@kingstondunk3465]

Good video.... unfortunately our weather north of you is garbage. Rain and above zero so our ice isn’t going to last much longer. Hoping for one more laker day.

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

Yeah... our weather is very warm. We had a really short season this year... I'm thinking about fly fishing now...

[@kingstondunk3465]

White Dog Outdoors there will be boats on Lake Ontario in a couple weeks here I think.

[@shaneshin6154]

gooooood

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

Thaaaaanks!

[@gregb4421]

Topographic is elevation. Bathymetric is depth.

[@whiteyfisk9769]

Who gives a shit. This is why you dont have friends

[@RushVoorhisOutdoors]

Good info man! Gonna try Lakers soon!

[@WhiteDogTrailCompany]

LOL... you better get out there soon then! We're losing ice quickly up here...
