Lake trout'in advice

[BeRad3000]

Hey guys. Im heading up to the cottage for a week Im going to try to catch me my first laker, i was wandering if anyone had any advice.

I believe it can get as deep as 90 feet in parts. Jigging spoons or trolling em?, live bait? trolling depths? structure? Anything would help, and hopefully i'll have some pics to share! Thanks in advance.

what lake? type of forage makes all the difference in the world

 

at this time of year, jigging can be effective, but downrigging covers the most water the most efficiently. A lot of guys troll with dispey divers (although I prefer the "deeper divers" made by walker downriggers).
