Another great informative video. That Lowrance Elite FS with ActiveTarget is sick. Can't wait to finally get out there myself this weekend. My go to are your top 2, TC Moto and Champ Swimmers.
Great job with the video. Please get a boga type grip. Super easy to use for catch and release and you don't have to shove your hand under the gills. You will love it!
Maybe don’t gill every fish if you are letting em go. But glad you are at least letting most go. Very cool vid and very informative. Also some beautiful fish. Nice work
This is basically what I use but mine were custom poured with a longer hook so it will sit farther back on my swim bait bigskyflies.ca/yellow-splash-glow/
I thought they were good to eat ? Don’t put them back ! A big fish cook out, corn in the husk, butter biscuits, lemons and beer ! No bass boats….ain’t anything sacred ?

Keep in mind that it can be hard on them if you hold their weight up with your hand on the soft part of their stomach, keep your hand back more on the tail muscle...nice catching though.
Hi Mat thanks for the info just got back from our first time on cold lake got out Thursday after the wind landed twenty or so in the morning and went back with the family and picked up five more that night big thanks to Kim at birch lodge for all his help.
Cool view through the fish finder. Didnt realize they worked that good where you could watch the fish go to the lure. What kind of fish finder is that?
@@weaversbentrods man, that is one good fish finder. Im new to this so Im starting out with the deeper chirp 2. See, if that does me any good. Glad you put videos out there for us amateurs to watch and learn.
No pike usually don't live this deep however you can change the orientation of the sonar and cast for them and watch the same thing when they are following your bait tho!
Outstanding video - heading to one of my favorite LT lakes in ON here in September! You probably deleted all the negative comments about that joker who was hassling you... "...are you going to leave some for anybody else..." What a BOZO (official fisherman term). Good for you for taking the high road and not commenting. I had to. People like that are such "......" Fill in the blank. Thanks again for the excellent content!!!
Haha there's the odd one for sure but most people here are awesome and supportive wouldn't make the content without you all!! Thanks again and good luck on your lake trip in September. Let me know how it goes or send some pictures!!
Hey I don't blame you for watching Uncut Angling, my favorite youtube channel in the world! :D These are literally the baits he's used to catch fish on his youtube videos. Great action. Thank you for making this.
Awesome and very helpful. Help me out with one thing though (and keep in mind I'm a newbie). I'm fishing in First Connecticut--a medium lake (2800 acres) in New Hampshire. Most of the info I've gotten suggests that lake trout 'have tender mouths and prefer smaller baits' . Definitely different from your experience. Do you think there are regional differences or should I dump the small bait people and go with your big boys? Again, thanks for the video.
If they are smaller fish yes it’s very possible. The medium to big fish defiantly do not have soft mouths often times you need to set the hook multiple times to make sure it’s good. As far as bait size i’ve seen them hit baits half the size of them when they are hungry. Keep trying different things and see what works on your lake!
In this video I was using a pair of 7' St. Croix Premier Heavy & Extra Heavy rods both great rods and still use them for clients. The last couple seasons since I've slowly migrated to my own custom rods!
Nice calm water , cloudy , perfect ! I may have to talk some one into going with me up there ! It should not be to hard after this video . Thanks for taking the time to make it !
@@eduffy4937 It’s not a lodge lol it’s my home lake. But you can stay a couple places in the area being the Hamilton House or Evergreen Birch Lodge both are out of Cold Lake
@@weaversbentrods i would pay big money for lessons or tips! ive spent about 100 hours on my only laker lake and caught 7-8 smaller ones but cant figure them out!
Another great informative video. That Lowrance Elite FS with ActiveTarget is sick. Can't wait to finally get out there myself this weekend. My go to are your top 2, TC Moto and Champ Swimmers.
Nothing beats the active target I don’t think I could fish with out it again…
Love that u show the fishfinder like that
I try to in most of my videos! Fun watching them
interact with the bait!
I think they are very realistic , and I like the hook on top of the body, not dragging on anythings.
They work awesome!
Great job with the video. Please get a boga type grip. Super easy to use for catch and release and you don't have to shove your hand under the gills. You will love it!
I've seen them used in the past and shredded the jaw of the fish when they thrash around boat side once those grips are locked...
Yes for fish with soft mouths you are right. Some of the other grips have more of a flat surface which is better.
If you grip the gill flap correctly you never really touch the gills.
@@bigham1jb yes. Until a big fish starts inevitably flapping, twisting.....
Hi new friend here thank you very much for sharing have a great day and God bless you and your family
🌈🙏🏻🌸🌹👨👨👦👦🍀🌻🌺💐🙏🏻🌈
Thank you! You as well!
Maybe don’t gill every fish if you are letting em go. But glad you are at least letting most go. Very cool vid and very informative. Also some beautiful fish. Nice work
Thanks! got luckey on a hot bite thats for sure!
hard to beat that tube! nice rod btw!
I still haven't got to finish my own laker rod. Maybe this fall!
What is the brand of the fish finder ?
lowrance active target
Do you have the lime to the 3/4oz big sky jig Heads. Camt find them
This is basically what I use but mine were custom poured with a longer hook so it will sit farther back on my swim bait bigskyflies.ca/yellow-splash-glow/
Tj what rod you using there for that bondi bait?
That’s a St Croix Premier 7’ Heavy. It’s a great spinning rod for jigging I love it
What about a Williams spoon?
generally when jigging I like to stick to something a little heavier so I can keep my line vertical.
Are you speaking English?
Yep you bet
I thought they were good to eat ? Don’t put them back ! A big fish cook out, corn in the husk, butter biscuits, lemons and beer ! No bass boats….ain’t anything sacred ?
I don't eat lake trout jsut catch and release for me
Only the small ones are good and not as good as walleye
@@elmorty Nothing beats a good ol walleye fish fry!
If you did that every time there would be no fish left to catch
@@owenbear876 he must be from Wisconsin 😅
I have several 100 plus lake trout days jigging with metal jigs with the Crippled Herring (Rapala) being consistently deadly for lakers. Capt Pete Rosko
I believe it! I had a fella bring some similar lures along and do quiet well with them. I’ve personally never used them
but might have to try one day!
Keep in mind that it can be hard on them if you hold their weight up with your hand on the soft part of their stomach, keep your hand back more on the tail muscle...nice catching though.
I'll keep it in mind next time!
Better get those back in the water 😅
they all went back!
Thanks for the info, but let's get that fish back in the water!!
You bet
Hi Mat thanks for the info just got back from our first time on cold lake got out Thursday after the wind landed twenty or so in the morning and went back with the family and picked up five more that night big thanks to Kim at birch lodge for all his help.
Good job that’s so awesome! Kim is a wicked guy and always goes the extra mile to make sure people have a good time up here!
I really enjoyed watching this video. Can’t wait to try this tips and techniques on my next fishing trip.
Tight lines 👉🏻🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣👍🏻🤜🏻🤛🏻
Thanks!! I hope you get a big one!!👊👊
Cool view through the fish finder. Didnt realize they worked that good where you could watch the fish go to the lure. What kind of fish finder is that?
This is the Lowrance Active Target. It’s honestly a game changer for me
@@weaversbentrods man, that is one good fish finder. Im new to this so Im starting out with the deeper chirp 2. See, if that does me any good. Glad you put videos out there for us amateurs to watch and learn.
@@vassg5 Any electronics is better then none in my opinion! The more you use it and learn about it the more info you have to help catch more fish
D0 u ever hook pike using this method
No pike usually don't live this deep however you can change the orientation of the sonar and cast for them and watch the same thing when they are following your bait tho!

Hard to beat some of those old videos that's for sure. One of the pioneers of UA-cam!
@@weaversbentrods exactly. Really enjoyed this video while working today. Thanks buddy
@@MountainStateAngler appreciate it! tight lines👊👊
About to fish Cold Lake for my first time and this video was super helpful. Thanks man!
No problem good luck out there! Hope you catch a big one🤞

What rod are you using.. im looking for a dedicated laker jig rod ..
In this video I was using a pair of 7' St. Croix Premier Heavy & Extra Heavy rods both great rods and still use them for clients. The last couple seasons since I've slowly migrated to my own custom rods!
no fishing that good where we reside; I'd be unreal happy catch a trout like those!!
Not everyday is as good as this one but sometimes it just works out!
Just added all 5 of these to my arsenal that's for the recommendation buddy, great video
You won’t regret it! That combination has put a ton of fish in the boat for me over the last few seasons
Hi Mat, it's Norman. Jigging is my kind of fishing... can't wait to go up there. See you Aug. 25th...
You know it!! Jigging is the best!
That was incredible dude! Good job
Thanks 👊 Days like this are so much fun when everything goes the way it did!
Hey Mat,
Am I right you are on a Cold lake in Alberta ? In Ontario Cold lake doesn’t have such depth. Thx
Yes Cold Lake Alberta. I'd imagine it is a fairly common name as there is a town in Manitoba also named Cold Lake
@@weaversbentrods thank you for your answer, great videos you make, keep making them
@@weaversbentrodsb umbrella
So uhh... what lake is that? Lol jking
Beautiful fish!
Would highly recommend checking it out! Lots of action makes for some fun days out there
Awesome video. Thanks for the tips bro.
Had a lot of fun out there that day what a riot!
Truly impressive fishing skill.
Just a fun day on the water!
Great video, awesome technique thanks for sharing!!!
Guess I shoulda been using buzz bombs….
This is phenomenal! Been going through some more of your vids and loving it! Love the live imaging shots
nothing beats live sonar when jigging lake trout the chase is just that much more fun
cool content , is it really that cold there in July ?
depends on the year!
I love trout Fishing
It’s an addiction really
Isn't that the junior not the mini wobbler?
Yep good catch you are correct. I use the mini wobble and the junior interchangeably throughout the season and both produce quiet similar results!
Hay Mat what kind of fish finder u using it looks pretty cool
Lowrance Active Target! It is unreal It’s hard to fish with out it now
Thank you it will be an investment for the boat for next year. Hope to see u on the lake again i was on the boat with Kim when u were catch them
@@calvincoombs338 well I shoulda introduced you! you have a few guest appearances in the background. Hope you guys had a fun day as well
Wow is that an extra heavy St Croix?
I do alternate between a heavy and extra heavy 7’ st.criox premier.
Good work for the trout man❤
I love lake trout!
so do you look for stucture first?
look for structure that’s holding fish and bait is ideal
Looks like the trout are hungry ! No need for bait .
It was just one of those days where everything worked out!
Nice calm water , cloudy , perfect ! I may have to talk some one into going with me up there ! It should not be to hard after this video . Thanks for taking the time to make it !
@@oldpolak5203 you have to make it up here sometime
