How do you set up your fishing when you have 2 or 3 people in your boat and only 1 2d screen?
@BendItFishing7 сағат бұрын
2 can use the 2d sonar at a time otherwise it's too confusing. The third is going jigging blind

I have to go below Burlington to go fishing. Never fished down there, so I don't know where to go. I hear way down to chimney point bridge and take the boat north. But I have to take the truck and boat all through Burlington with all the crazy people and traffic! 2 1/2hr drive for me. Is there any lake trout north of Burlington anywhere??

Love your videos! I vacation at Lake George, heading up from PA in early August this year. I’ve had decent luck both trolling and jigging from a kayak the last couple years but still a lot to learn and better set up to jig. I just received your large kit, now wondering if your small kit would be better for that lake?
@BendItFishing13 сағат бұрын
From what I've heard of lake George is the Lakers are similar to Champlain. Use the 3/4 jig and shorten the baits if they don't want the full size. Good luck
