Jigging Lakers

[limeyangler]

Went out for 3 hours with Dave(my father inlaw) to jig for trout(lakers)

 

Was a slow day compared to recent trips and we got 3. sods law was in full effect because we could not catch one under 22" for our 4th keeper, we hauled in 3 more after the third which were between 23" and 26"....but not complaining......just funnyhow getting that final keeper often seems to be near impossible when your'e trying for it.....lol.

 

 

All in all a great few hours with 8 trout caught. Great fun seeing the fish attack our bait on the fishfinder as we were anchored up in 60' or so of water, and on light spinning rods with nothing but a 1/4 jig and medium minnow the trout give a good acount of themselves.

 

 

Fish were through the whole water column as were the schools of baitfish, some of the baitfish clouds were huge. At one point i even wtched a trout dissipate the cloud on the graph as it swam into it...pretty cool to watch on a fishfinder.

Great report, pic and video Simon

Pretty good 3 hours spent on the water, with good company and some laker action.... just doesn't get any better than that

 

Our trout season is closed now over here you guys are so lucky to be able to fish for them

Question for you: Are those native trout? and were you catching them on white tubes?
