Jigging Lake Trout on Lake Ontario

[maestrolaker]

Would love to hear if anyone and Laker jigging with any consistency and if so if they would be willing to share anything on the topic.

 

I've seen a few videos of some early and late season stuff out of Michigan but wondering if anybody has found a pattern on Lake Ontario for this time of year

Only place I'd do that is the Niagara Bar, which many people do.

Sorry for my ignorance but haven't had the opp to fish here a great deal yet.

 

The Niagara bar being the big flat at the mouth of the river? Are people just drifting and jigging?

 

I was out in that area a couple of weeks back and saw a couple of people jigging near the marker bouys at the mouth but not much else.

 

We trolled around the area and caught a couple decent fish but all in all pretty slow

The bar is just to the west of the mouth although the mouth can produce lots of fish too. The Bar has less current but sometimes wind. A trolling motor anchor would help keep lines short and tight. Lots of fun. It's such a big river mouth that you never know what might be caught!
