I never had luck until I put in a real expensive fishfinder and a down rigger.
You need to get the hook down to where the fish are.
Lake trout may be in 110'-175' of water right now.
True the Lake Trout may be found over depths of 110'-175' Feet of Water (FOW) but you only need to go down 35' - 45' feet to catch them.
Hence a "Pink Lady", "Deeper Diver", "Jet Diver" etc or 3 way swivel rig and lead weights will get you to the fish. Of course Downriggers are even nicer but they do add an additional cost.
I honestly can't think of a better feeling than when your kids and grandkids catch their own fish. As a father and grandfather it is the most fulfilling feeling you can have. The excitement and energy just rubs off on you and gives you that all day glow. Way to get your kids into a great sport fluxcore. Those little grins mean everything!

Going there next week with my son's FIL to their cabin on the east side. The anticipation is overwhelming!!! The son & grandson are both coming along. The son's FIL knows the lake like the back of his hand, so catching both lakers & walleye should not be a problem. Fish fry & a few wobblies at the cabin will be in order.
The best part of the hole trip was seeing my daughter struggle with a fish for a good 15 min and getting a standing ovation from the boat next to us When we got it in lolol it was great. I'm looking forward to doing it again in a years time
We made some increadible memories. My daughters and I have our last years routine back, every night before bed it's smoked trout and milk, awsome stuff.
Those little grins mean everything!
she stayed up all night helping me smoke it, she is my buddy
