Thanks

You too man, Let me know when you want to go fishing!

Glad you enjoyed it

Good luck, it should be in full swing by then.

Thanks, good luck!

I have no problem feeling my lure. There isn’t a lot out there rated for a 2-2.5 oz lure that I could stand to jig with for a decent a amount of time. Maybe you could find something technique specific for lake trout but this has been my go to the last couple years and it has yet to fail me.

I would chime in here and say to go with a saltwater jigging rod like a Shimano trevala. Medium action with MF rod taper would be ideal suited for this application

Good luck

Thanks

On the big lake I like to see surface temps in the 50’s and bottom temps that are in the 40’s tight to shore. The bite is better when the ports are cool but I don’t let that stop me from fishing. If they are moving to the river you alway have a good shot. A fish that is moving typically is feeding.

If you see someone fighting a fish it’s good to give them some space. With the bigger fish as you now know you have no control of where they go right off the bat. Good luck and tight lines!

Lol sounds good to me!

@@brookensangling aww shiznit

@@brookensangling you know I'm friends of Eric yes?

Thanks!

I almost always use a blue chrome or green chrome in a 2 to 2.5 oz. jig.

I wouldn’t be afraid to use it. Ive caught a lot of salmon on 7’ rods jigging. If I was using 7’ med/heavy I’d think about using a mono so you have some stretch to make up for the loss of action in the rod.

@@brookensangling Thank you!

I have used a Medium Heavy and Heavy action lamiglass which are great for fighting the fish. You can control them a little more but there is only so much you can do with a big king. You have to let them run and ware themselves out to an extent. That being said bigger equipment will ware you out and cause your jigging technique and hooksets to suffer. It is definitely a balance.

Thank you

Thank you

Yeah with the numbers of fish it could definitely turn into a snag fest if you dropped into them but your arms will ware out fast fighting a king sideways. With the big schools jigging above them works. They will come up and strike. Of the close to 40 fish we landed jigging last fall only two fish were snagged. Tight lines!

@@brookensangling yeah I see guys jigging all the time in ludington mi. I always say I want to try it but never do. Usually wait for them in the river and use skain and bobber, that’s a blast to not much water except around the bend either upstream or down. Them salmon have so much power. Tight lines

I used to think they were snagging too. They are not. Those fish smash the jigs. (I jig a little now days)

@@danielbrowder1910 I think I might give it a shot this year. A lot of south wind for me this week into the weekend maybe just hit the river up. Looks like a blast jigging

Thanks

Thanks

This was last fall in Muskegon. The run should start in about a week.

It’s the garmin livescope with a 10” screen.

@@brookensanglingthank you keep it up guys I’m out in bc and looking to get a boat eventually to get some big king Salmom myself keep it up

⁠​⁠@@brookensangling oh buy any chance do you have a link to your fish finder ? The German live scope ?

www.russellmarineproducts.com/lvs-34-livescope-plus-gpsmap-1022-combo-rmp-lvs34-1022-cmb I have the older transducer but this is what I have.

Muskegon, but It’s last fall. I can’t get videos edited fast enough to get them posted while the bite is still going. It should happen in the next few weeks. Ludington the bite has started. There are a lot of fish already in the lower end of the PM.

@@brookensangling you guys where slaying I'm going to Ludington soon

We each kept a couple that day. I usually don’t take more than I will eat.

I run a Garmin Livescope at the Bow and a Hummingbird Helix 10 SI at the council. The Garmin is what you see in the video.

It’s a Garmin livescope.

Haha, I wish I had an open spot. I could use the money. I’ve have so many people I need to take and not enough time to go already.

@@brookensangling sorry hopefully I can get a spot next year

It’s a Garmin Livescope on the 1022 chart plotter.

Can’t say I have. Am I missing out?

@@brookensangling nah. you doing great without them. good videos.

I was using P-lines, Eric was using Swedish pimples. I don't the jig is as important as the weight. Try and get 2 oz and up if you can find them.

I have it and choose not to use it. You pull hooks fish after fish. Plus it sucks to jig. There is no controlling a 25 pound plus king right off the hookset.

@@brookensangling maybe but it helps not drag u around bay

Your not the first to say it. It’s definitely my preference though. I’m landing most of the fish I hook. I put a lot of pressure on the fish after the first run but if you try and stop them initially something will break or you pull the hook for sure.

Im sure you can get them to go on it at times. Ive caught kings on swimbaits and even some glide baits fishing them slow but the last couple years spoons have definitely done way better for me.
