Awesome. 

Incredible 

Pete is a lake trout guy also. Finger lakes and Ontario. Has done it for many years. Based on the smile on his face, he just may be doing a little more of this. 

Could be Rick, wasn’t paying much attention. In and out lol. Maybe was. 

Pete Collin from the site a couple days ago and wanted to jig for kings. Pete has jigged for lakers for many years but has caught very few kings while laker fishing. We left the dock at 5:30 and pulled at 10:00. Pete landed four kings and lost a couple. I didn’t catch a king today but did get a bow. Fun morning, great company and exciting fishing. Hard to beat. 

We fish the marks. Using 2oz jigs. I do use a light action line counter to drop or raise on marks. In all fairness tomorrow will be my third time doing it. 
 

This whole jigging thing is a blast. The hook sets are unreal. Thanks to you and Manny!!

Typical day there unfortunately. There are much better local choices. 

Back out again this morning. This whole jigging thing may impact how much time I spend trolling.

One cool thing is how clearly the jig shows up on the fish finder. 

Two hours with Tommy this morning. 4 for 6. Pretty cool!

You going to get them wet soon?

Lots of better places to launch unless you specifically want to go out of I Bay. 

Going to be a great weekend. 

Rigged up two rods today. Mono backing, 300 feet of 20 lb braid with 15 lb fluorocarbon leaders. Just need the jigs to show up. How long did you guys have to wait for your deliveries from Mission Tackle?  Tournaments Friday through Sunday, hope they show up next week!

You’ll be very pleased!

Mission lures

You bet. I sent you a PM a week or so ago with my contact info. I’m out of Braddocks often and happy to share info with you. 

We didn’t have a ton of marks but there were some. We fished that depth to be out of the pack of boats fishing in 100 ish. Had my hands full crew wise and no autopilot. We didn’t have major current or speed issues and fleas and fly’s were non existent. Had meat and mags out, never ran faster than 2.4 at the ball.

East Fork Pro Marine in Hamlin.  I know it’s a haul but Tommy is the best!

Or is it that they are 2 or 3 year old kings and not many are hanging out till they’re 4?

Late short trip with my wife and daughter. Trolled 80-90 for browns with mag spoons. 60 degree water down 75. Lines in at 1 and pulled at 3. No browns but two for three on kings one pushing 24lbs. 

As much aa I enjoy fishing with experienced anglers, taking kids out and getting them on quality fish is priceless. Conversely, slow days are a drag, but slow with kids on board is agonizing. Blessed today, lines in at 6:30 and out by 10:00.
