Lake Trout depth?

[tj13825]

Heading out of I-Bay on Saturday morning hopefully to put my father in-law on some fish. It is has birthday and he doesnt fish much or have the patience to. i figured I would hit the mouth of the Genny early for some combat fishing but if that doesnt produce I would like to put him on a few lakers.

 

Earlier this summer I would run cowbells/peanuts on the bottom from shipbuilders to bear creek in 130-150 and have very productive days. This time of year have they moved?

 

Only have 1/2 a day so starting in the right depth would be a big help.

 

Thanks and tight lines

Lakers have been sitting around the 80-120 mark. Use your temp sensor cause the water column has been all over the place but if you can find 48* or less they will be there moving around the bottom 10-15. We did very well on any Green spoons we put down there and they were the biggest lakers of the year for me so far. Our biggest was 25# and smallest was 17# so get ready for some arm burners. Good Luck

If you want bigger fish but fewer, fish deeper.  I used to do best in 135 - 150 in September.  From the yard arm to Hedges produced some slobs from mid August until October!

Thanks guys.

 

Gambler what is the yard arm? This is my first year fishing out of I-Bay, grew up fishing out of Williamson/Sodus area.
