I am fortunante enough to spend June and July at a small private fishing camp in northern Sask. I grew up a pike and walleye guy but got hooked on going deep for lakers.
I have been marking lots of fish, catching a few (10-15lbs).
Looking for some tips or references (books,dvds) on how to better myself as a laker fisherman.
Last summer I spent a lot of time trolling #18 rapalas, quickfish,flatfish and assorted spoons anywhere from 45-65ft. Anywhere from 2.0mph to 4mph with fish biting at all speeds in between. I tried all times of day, sky and wind conditions.
I have heard that sunny days with little to no wind are better. Is there truth to that?
The Lake I am on only has 80 fishermen on it per year and the lakers are rarely targeted. There are several spots that have depths of 50-80 feet.
I am confident there has to be some 30-40 pounders there.
Just looking for some quick tips to try and find some of them.
