Lucky Lisa's Laker Report!


Recommended Posts

OMG!! I CAUGHT MY FIRST LAKE TROUT YESTERDAY!!

On the spur of the moment, Jim and I decided to head up to Burntside (I have been telling everyone that I WOULD fish her again this year!) yesterday morning. We stopped at Great Outdoors Bait to pick up some minnows. GO (also an FMer) was SUPER helpful, very nice and quite a character! Thanks!

We got on the lake and tried a few of our spots out and then I caught my 1st laker around 2PM. She was about 21 inches.

Then at about 4PM I caught a 25 incher:

There was no more action for the day so we returned early this morning and at about 8:20 I caught another 25 incher!!

3rd Laker:

Jim caught one 18 incher yesterday also. The weather was nice and there weren't too many people on the lake. I am hooked now! My adrenaline was roaring and my drag was squealin'! These fish don't want to come up for nothing! Huge red marks on the Marcum! It's everything you dream about when you think of fishing lake trout. I'm just glad I got a taste of it for myself.

PS. Sorry I look so tired! You have to get up early! Tami, here's that Arctic Armor pic you were waiting for!

I bought the jacket/bib combo through this company and had decals put on: Arctic Armor. The selling point for me personally is the warmth factor. I can stay out longer and warmer with this gear on than ever before. Oh and it floats if you fall through the ice. I was seriously looking at the Carhart Extremes but was really leery of how stiff they were. Arctic Armor is soft and I can move easily in them. I actually have to take my jacket off every time I auger holes because I get too warm. Can't beat that!

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
