my personal best laker
caught jigging CPR'd!!
Well I had a day this past week that I will never forget! I caught my personal best laker jigging, I've caught a few lakers bigger trolling but to me this was way more enjoyable and more of a challenge! Not too often you have the chance to get on a big pod of lakers out in the lake but I did a little looking around found a few spots a couple miles off shore and we founf a mess of fish and not just lakers. We caught 2 coho's whitefish and lake trout along with numerous brown trout as deep as 52 feet of water jigging with spining tackle.
Obviously the weather has to be right for the small boat to get out and venture into this type of fishing but if you do try you'll see why it's addicting to catch the fish this way!
The best bait was a white 4 inch gulp minnow with 1/2 ounce darter head jig (gamakatsu) fishing near the bottom although we picked up a few fish suspended or up higher.
Here's a few fish including my biggest laker caught on a jigging rod to date. I've caught bigger trolling along with kings etc.. but it's not the same.
Get out and give it a try
