thats information Ive seen fishing and fish caught but here you learn how to fish how someone successful catches, useses his equipment and where and why. you learn more in 20 min than you will in a year on the water. As always thank you very much for quality content.

Fantastic tutorial!! I'm going lake trout with my brother next weekend, but I'm not expert. I don't have a livescope, but I have the deeper sonar that might be able to see a trout follow my lure. Great tips, and great video!! 👍

Nice method for jigging trout. Appreciate the info on equipment setup as well 👍

Always wanted to catch a lake trout. The lake I fish people say they are in the lake but not many. Used your techniques and have had action each trip even a 32” fish! Thanks for this info!

Going lake trout fishing soon, glad you mentioned some tips to protect the well-being of the fish! 👍🏻

Great video and technique! The results speak for themselves.

Awesome stuff! Can't wait to go out & try this again. Also, nice shirt, way to rep the Ditch Pickle -- this year was our 11th consecutive. One of the best weekends of the summer.

exactly what i teach my clients on our charters. sometimes the mood of our fish can vary and necessitate a really slow movement with the trolling motor…like .4 mph so the bait is just creeping along horizontal when they don’t want to chase.

Here in NY on days that the fish wont commit, we actually do catch them pounding the mud. We also do that ice fishing. Turn off the sonar and just fish the bottom blindly.
I remember when I first discovered the cadence, I caught 12 trout in a 30 minute span that my buddies in my group caught 0.
Its not something that most anglers want to hear, but fishing bottom without sonar does definitely produce as long as you mix the cadence constantly and dont repeat motions.

Been fishing lakers my whole life with spinning reels. Time to switch to a bait caster setup, would you mind sharing what you’re using in this video? Reel and size? Thanks

John Gaulke who operates Finger Lakes Angling Zone in NY taught me this method in about 2007. Great way to catch lakers in the finger lakes. He learned it from a fellow named Toby.

I’ve tried jigging for lake trout a couple times from a kayak with no luck. I don’t have any kind of sonar. Is it worthwhile to keep trying that or do I really need sonar to go for them when they are that deep?

What's with the Bazooka Joe get up on your netter? LOL.

[josephgolden]

by chance, is that location on Superior out of Marquette?

What thickness of fluorocarbon do you use for lake trout leaders?

[brettu]

are you using an Airmar transducer for 2D?

You want to go commercial fishing? Could collab been offering...

I fish a smaller lake packed with whitefish. I can't tell trout from whitefish on my panoptix. Not livescope btw.

Great video!
When I am jigging the bottom, I am of the mindset of a crawfish, not a bait fish. I agree that making long sweeping jigging motions aren't natural. But making small taps in the mud are more in tune to what a crawdad might do(in my mind). While I do catch a lot of fish doing the 'dump and chase', more fish seem to come from doing the 'mud cloud'. Obviously, there are a ton of variables and from day to day.

Love jigging for Lakers and have zero interest in any other types of fishing (from a boat)
Great channel! I just subbed.
