I'm retiring next year and looking to learn to fish. Love the videos. Very informative.

In my years of fishing I’ve never tried a down rigger. Looks like it was a fun day with great weather and little wind. Always a plus 👍

It was a fantastic day on the water. That’s for sure

You need to put snubbers on the back of your Dipsey Divers. The strechy snubbers will help on hooking fish and make it harder to break off. Use 20 pound flouro to go the spoon. Little Kokanee snubbers, 4-8 inches, might be enough...? Great Lakes snubbers are i-2 foot long.

I will definitely give that a try next time are use a Dipsy diver

I just started using a lead core setup for Lake Trout in my kayak on Ontario lakes. In July I bagged a 21 incher, a 13in and 2 babies. The lead core takes a bit of management in a kayak but it's well worth it!! I'm hooked!! Lol Thanks for the excellent video!!

You should try casting a vertical jigging at them I’ve caught a lot of rainbow trout that way

@MichaelKaal-TriFisher 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah, that’s actually the one way I have caught them before. I was vertical jigging when I like trout hit. I’m definitely going to have to look into that more.

You should try Rapala's Deep Tail Dancers plugs. I like the two bigger sizes. They are a good early morning in the 3 UV colors: Green Tiger, Pink Tiger, and Orange Tiger. I put Orange Tigers out o lead-core line first thing in the morning. They usually catch the first fish. They catch a lot of 4-8 pound Lakers. When the sun gets high I usually switch to Purpledescent or some other color. I also like their Scatter Rap Tail Dancers. They have a rounded lip that makes swing from side to side, very erratic! They don't dive as deep. Sometimes I put them on the downrigger instead of spoons.

Hey Michael. Who would you suggest for a trip on Watuga???

@MichaelKaal-TriFisher Жыл бұрын

If you’re looking for Lake Trout, I would recommend contacting Fish Springs Marina. I believe there is a guide who works out of that particular Marina.

Video was posted a few days ago. Was it July when it happened. What depth worked for you. Renting a boat on Monday and would be beyond estatic to pull in a few trout. We don’t have down riggers but deep diving crank baits and dipsy divers. Any suggestions?

@MichaelKaal-TriFisher 2 жыл бұрын

Yes, most of the fish were caught between 30 and 40 feet. I filmed this video a last weeks ago. I hope you guys catch a bunch

@briananstead Жыл бұрын

Thanks. We got chased off by a storm Gillian’s island style but I’m hooked. Headed back up there in a few weeks with my own boat. Rewatched the video again and appreciate the detail you gave.

I think i missed what size reel, what size reels do u have?

@MichaelKaal-TriFisher Жыл бұрын

I reached out to Chuck and this is what he told me. “I use #45 for lead core and #35 or #45 for stacker downriggers rod with counter. Bottom downrigger reel can be reels can be any size does not require a counter if downrigger has a counter.”
