Your summer series convinced me to bushwack 2d sonar back 7 lakes into the brush here in southern ontario on a canoe camping trip. Without it and all the tips you shared I wouldn't have caught so many wild lake trout! Thanks!

I do exactly like Josh does but with a single hook. Always do a limit. Many fishes lost. It will be better with treble hooks. I use Josh's jig heads and silicone. Should try a spoon next time. 85' is the best depth i would say. It will work even without spot-lock on a quite day. My 2D fish finder does not help at all, it is basically not required if you find right spot via Navionics.Fishing lake trout and ouananiche in US is so much more convenient in all aspects vs QC.

Spots what matters the most!

Colt Sniper jigging spoons are a staple of mine. Upgrading the hook with a bladed treble helps when winding up, getting them to chase.

Thanks for your great videos! I’m a new subscriber, I live in Utah and I fish Flaming Gorge. We catch lots of big lakers trolling 25-40lbs. I’m going to get more into Jigging and you have some great ideas and baits that seem to work well. I’ve mostly used white tube jigs and have had some success but I think I will give some of your wing tubes a try. Wear your sunscreen! Thanks, Bob

Just came across your videos and love them! I'm mainly a bass guy but you got me wanting to try targeting lakers now. I'm in the Fingerlakes/Lake Ontario area of NY. Do you think using a big bucktail jig would work for this method too?

@@BendItFishing just want to say thanks! Went out fishing today with my wife. We were targeting smallies but it was slow, so I said what the heck, let's try for lakers. Used the technique you showed here and used a bucktail with swim bait trailer. We both caught our first lake trout! Basically knew nothing about lake trout fishing besides what I have seen in your videos. Can't wait to go back and actually target them with some better lures.

Do you set the hook as it loads after it loads or by sight on live scope

@BendItFishing

28 күн бұрын

So when blind jigging, when I snap it up it's basically setting the hook. If it's on the chase it's a feel thing the rod gets slightly heavier so then I set the hook

Going fishing tomorrow. What depth should I target from flat to top of hump? Any advice?

@BendItFishing

29 күн бұрын

Max depth 130 all the way to the top of the hump

Do you concider current or wind when looking for fish to target

@BendItFishing

24 күн бұрын

Not current, but wind yes, usually because I have a smaller boat and the approach to a spot.

Just wondering if you've ever had any trouble getting tangled in the buoy at all? I personally invested in livescope before spot lock.

@BendItFishing

Ай бұрын

I've only used them a few times so no. And it's just to mark a general area so you can be pretty far from it. You can probably see it on livescope

How did you know to start blind jigging at that edge? Did you find the fish on sonar first or just go to a known productive spot?

@BendItFishing

29 күн бұрын

This was a brand new spot I found on navionics. I was using my electronics and saw one fish, but I would have started jigging there if I had no electronics anyways.

It looks like you’re fishing sometime around midday. What time of day do you find to be most productive?

@BendItFishing

This lake doesn't matter that much. I like to fish overcast days, time doesn't matter

Back again second question why do you strip line while fitting a fish next question rare to hear your drag untill you lighten durring a fit then soon you tighten how critical to manage drag

@BendItFishing

28 күн бұрын

So the drag is just to protect the weakest connection in the rod system. Usually one of the knots. Using 15# test and a FG knot, which won't break the weakest is the polomar tied to the hook which is also like 97% strength. Most people can't even put that much pressure even 12 # on a fish which is why my drag doesn't move

Nice! What's the weight of your spoon?
