Had a blast being introduced to lake trout fishing by Pixel Shooter, just an awesome trip, both the fishing and the company. When you spend over 28 hours on the water fishing together you get to know each other pretty good. Yes Pixel Shooter was depressed after losing the monster, but he had a big smile back on his face when he pulled in a 12 pounder a short time later.
As he said, he's got the bug and a trophy fish will eventually find his line...thanks again for a great trip. Also measure my experiences by entertainment value and this was off the charts...

good job guys, we found the lots of fish this last weekend about 6 per hour but not the size you guys had average for us was more like 5 lbs. Were you guys jigging or downrigging? seems to me jigging accounts for a better average size.

Nope all trolling, didn't jig once although tempted, the boats were nailing them left and right out in the mouth but all small size. If we wanted to catch smaller ones our fish per hour would have went up considerably. oh well it was still a great outing, one I hope to do again REAL SOON!!
Model12 dang near fell over to see your post, don't be shy , great to see you posting and thanks for the kind words! and your right, after 26 hours of being stuck in the boat together, you get to know a guy real good. your welcome to tag along anytime my friend! I will say however its weird having someone with the exact same first name chatting with each other, guess not use to talking to myself that much LOL!!!!!

The best part of trips like these are the monsters that get away, it's what keeps us coming back.
The schoolboy grins say it all, looks like a blast.
Good on ya boys!

TrophyPikeHunter and I finished off the weekend pretty good as well considering we really don't know the lake all that well. On Monday morning, we got her all dialed in just in time to have to leave. I couldn't get my rigger down all the way the lakers were pounding my lure like crazy. The right color and lure/flasher combo was dynamite.
I was using a Lyman silver/pink 4" lure trailing behind a triple flasher - pink/silver/metallic.
I had one grab my lure off the release while I had the boat coasting (drifting) while Trophy was hauling up his ......... it was crazy. Our average size was closer to 7-8lbs but we caught nothing that would measure up but quite a few "just there" a few cm short in that 10lb range.
My side imaging (which was another piece of the puzzle we finally dialed in) was able to show me schools of fish out to my left (or right) 120 feet away. I would just make the turn and hit them dead on and drag my lure right through them.
Knowing the depth they are at, where they are schooling is solid gold. It took longer to stop the boat, reset the rigger after releasing a fish than it did to wait for one to bite!
It was pretty fun. We will be back with more tricks to play on them.
Watched these two older guys just pound them one after another jigging as well each time we trolled near them. Seemed to be a good day for everyone Monday morning.
