Biggest thing with lakers is finding the thermocline.. You want a water temp of between 48-52.. they'll be patrolling just above it. Early season is the easiest, top 15ft of the water column... Lake trout are notorious followers, they'll follow lures for miles if you let them. Make sure you speed up, slow down, zig-zag, whatever to get them to bite.

I wanna get out for whities and lakers! I don't mind the break at all

I bet someone has been telling this story.... 'I lost this 20lb steelhead lastweek while using a firetiger Rapala!!!! At least 20lbs I swear!!'

One day I'll fish the Tree!

I've noticed a lot of the saltwater Rapalas have metal lips. At least the ones in my tacklebox do.

Let's hope they turn it around tonight!

I don't make the rules, ask your local CO.

I wonder how many of these threads we'll have this year. This has gotta be what? #4 or #5? lol

The QC guys are always so animated, lol!! Awesome vid! Those are some fat pike!

I think it's a confidence thing Roy, lol.

I like 3 small hooks instead of 2 big ones. Don't ask me why, but it's always that last hook that stings them.

Tell me about it.. Kinda scary if you think of it..

Bob, it's funny you mention that. We went on a family trip back when I was 13 or so.. My parents didn't believe it when they said I'd be 6'3 (Everyone else in my family is short) but they were right!

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My sarcasm meter is broken

Absolutely, they'll love it Dan! All kinds of cool stuff for the kids to do.

Funny, the CO I talked to while ice fishing in Huntsville last year said the opposite. No fires on the lake, it's gotta be on shore.

Throwing that in the lake would lead to a fine.. There's a reason why you can't have a fire ON the ice during the winter, all that crap goes into the water once the ice melts.

You think it's fake? lol

The IMG code.

Already lots of pipelines from Canada to the US. Green is oil, Red is NG.

You'll be looking long and hard to find another whitefish factory like Simcoe within 2hrs of Alliston. She'll be locked up soon enough.

Sweet! Looks like I'll be out for lakers in the near future

Frank would love to get back up there bud, he loved those eater walleyes we got
