smerchly Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 I think it was Charlie Ray or Lonnie King who fished for lakers at the mouth of the Niagara River (TV Show) . The method used was jigging straight down in about 80 fow with a crippled herring which is a heavy jigging spoon & come in many colours . They also use this method at the Bay of Quinte in the late fall when the big girls come in from Lake Ontario . I would think most any spoon like a 3/4 oz. cleo or those glow salmon spoons would work too. just googled "jigging for lake trout " ....lots of videos etc . These guys were jigging white Gulp twisters , so you may find they work great also ....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jessek Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 tryed and heard about white mister twister or whatever kind, 3 or 4 inch with heavy jig head.Use fishfinder find them on bottom and drop straight down. turn sensetivty right up, sometimes there are just a bump on the screen.

bigugli Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 Big white tubes are another laker go to. Drop to bottom. Slow and steady raise up 1/2 the distance, drop again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
