This would be our first time targeting lake trout on the big water in early spring, so our goal was simple..... catch at least 1 fish.
No downriggers on the boat so we planned a 4 rod set up mix of 5 colour lead core and braid with snap weights running spoons, deep diving crankbaits and spin n' glows.
After some fun getting out to the open lake through the a few miles of sketchy ice and slush we were fishing!!!
It did not take long and we were into some fishy action, which pretty much lasted all day...lots of fish caught, a couple got off and even more hit our baits but did not stick. No huge fish, but a good average size.
All in all a great start to the open water season!!! Looking forward to the next fishing/boating adventure.
