Nailer Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Welcome to the site Max. There are some good Trout fisherman here, hopefully they can chime in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Priority1 Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 A warm and the max to you Max. We used to keep an old beat up cannon ball that we'd keep bouncing the bottom with. We wouldn't have a line hooked to it. Just slightly above it, on different riggers, we'd run everything from peanuts, spin n glows, wobble glows, all behind chrome dodgers, ford fenders, or cow bells. Lakers like it a little on the trashy side. They also usually like it slower than salmon. Good Luck and tight lines always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rascal Trophy Fishing Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Welcome to the GLF Max, enjoy. I also am curious as to the location of those trout, any special lakes? What size are the trout and how deep is the water? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulywood Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Welcome Max! One tip I picked up from guys who troll for lakers on an inland lake up here (Higgins Lake) is to use either a Rapala or sewn minnow behind a downrigger. No attractor needed. There are a bunch of smelt in Higgins so they use a smelt pattern and troll it near the bottom and do well with it. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
