caznik Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Hello Special X, Just like to say hi and hope that you will enjoy this site. So I here that the lake that you fish on has some pretty big lake trout in it. Well what is your biggest in your lake that you happen to catch and how is the salmon fishing up there to. I use to watch a tv show that showed how they caught lake trout up there by jigging for them.Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GLF Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Welcome aboard! I am curious about the lake trout thing also. Is that the primary fish you target in Lake Superior? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Priority1 Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Welcome Special X. Living where you do makes you a Superior Fisherman. I fish Lake Huron and it's Saginaw Bay. I also make as many trips as I can to Lake Michigan in the late Summer. I know you will like it here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

special x Posted April 24, 2007 Author Share Posted April 24, 2007 Thanks for the warm welcome .Now to answer your questions about laker. We target salmon in early morn but some days with not very much luck so then we fish lakers but still run a surface spread for salmon. Depth for lakers is any were from top to 275 ft with most luck at 35-150 ft. Lakers of 7- 15 lbs are plentifull most days. Lots of boats jigg in early morn for lakes in about 225 ft water. Fall at Isle Royal produces large lakers in the 15-40 lbs range. Will post pics when I get that part figured out. l Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLF Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Will post pics when I get that part figured out. Info on how to upload a picture and post it in a thread is located in this thread. When targeting lakers....are you mainly trolling or jigging? What are your better baits for catching them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
special x Posted April 25, 2007 Author Share Posted April 25, 2007 WE only troll using spoons on the down riggers sometimes when we go deep we use spoons & meat . Dipseys will vary from spoons to sticks. Sticks we use are boomers & rapps mostly. Med size spoons seem to work best for me last couple of years. Board lines we run a michiagan walley set up with spoons & sticks . Flat line with lead core and some long mon lines with stickslong lines from 200- 600 ft behind the boat. Color ? Most days u never know we just start with a variaty and work from there. Bud light in spring & Reds in fall:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
