Had a great day catching some lakers

Awesome video! Thanks for sharing. What are you using for bait/lure & anyway you can post a picture of your set up and how you fish it? Looks like you are just dropping it straight down & reeling back up to get them to chase. Just got into chasing lakers a couple years ago & always interested in tips.

Thanks again

Hey Buddy! Hooking lakers in the winter is fairly easy once you understand how lakers behave. Trouts are super curious and lakers are even more curious. Like any curious creature...if you put it right in the face or too close it wont pick their curiousity...so Most of the time I jig 30-40 off bottom trying to make them come up....if they rise to see my bait I try to reel away fast and aggressive so they don't get a good look. If you get her to chase it...it's more then likely gonna smash your bait...

Any swimbait works...lot of guys here use little 4 inch swimbaits lol...they eat 15-17inches hearing here...so I use musky swimbaits lol

Thanks seabass...season just opened up this last weekend for lakers! Can't wait to get out after them.

Any chance you could post a picture of the musky swimbaits your using?

Good Luck!

Hey,

It's a swimbait I hand pour myself.

I use the freedom tackle jig head that's just awesome it allows the bait to move much better.
