Lake trout frustrations

[RJ]

Nice meeting you the other day Steve.

I'm gonna go with Randy L here. I did three rigging trips out there this summer. One for fun and 2 half days guiding folks. Every trip netted at least 8 Lakers on the troll.

I don't run Christmas trees ever. I'll never understand why a fish is even attracted to those monstrosities..

The fish you are targetting out there are feeding heavily on shad which top out size wise by years end around 3.5 inches. Matching the hatch you could say. I use smaller spoons all the time. I generally run 40-50 off the ball. I troll 1.8 to 2.0 mph.

Good Luck if ya get back out this week. I'll be out at least two days.
