A Laker Jigging Report

[Pete Collin]

Great boating conditions we have had this week!  I have been talking with Doug since last spring about getting him out to try the vertical approach.  The fish are plentiful but not as bitey as they could be.  Luckily Doug got his first fish within the first half hour.  A nice, fat, hard-fighting 29 incher.  He was ecstatic.  I told him trolling was a more productive Plan B if they wouldn't take our jigs,  but after that first battle he was convinced that light tackle is the way to go.  We had little spurts of activity throughout the day that kept things lively in between the pauses.   Total of 5 fish for the boat that got reported to 2 DEC guys at the mouth of the creek coming in.  They said nobody else was catching much, so I guess we did OK!
