Randall Thanks for the videos. Always entertaining and allows us to be on the water when we can't. Keep up the great work and I wish you the best with your new adventure as a Charter Captain!!
I like watching your videos,shows real fishing not just catching. Are the lake trout throughout the lake,or mostly down around the lower part of the lake?
I use the fish replica down rigger weights I bend the tails so it takes the line away from the boat and powder coat them (amazing attractant ) I liked, commented and watched until the end to sub so should stick at 277 new friend from Alberta
Do you know of any spots where you can catch stripers from shore I heard in the spring they move in shallower I don’t have a boat or kyak tho also nice video :)
It's hard to predict where they will pass by the shoreline. I'm afraid I can't give you a place. I can tell you, you are right! They will move into the shallows. I'm going to look for them tomorrow. If I learn anything I'll tell what I'm thinking. Watch my bank angling videos from Weaver Falls till then. Thanks for the comment. It helps the channel out.
The reason why they were having a hard time getting off the surface was they're experiencing a level of barotrauma since they're from water 30' or deeper.
@@randallrydesfishing Yeah it's sort of like getting the bends.I read somewhere one time that 2-3min isn't even slow enough,and they were saying about 20-30min.Could you believe taking 20-30min to reel in a lake fish. prob have all your rods loaded up by then....lol They say some fish have a way to equal the pressure quickly but I forget what it's called and never did find out what fish they are. It took me 20-30min to bring in a 5' to 5.5' Sandbar Shark on #30 braid but with Shark the longer you take getting them in the worse it is for them because of the stress.
What speed do you typically troll? You know I've been trying to figure out the lake trout thing. The slowest I can get my boat to go with my outboard is about 2 mph give or take little bit depending on wind. Should I be good with that speed?
That may be a little fast. Can you drag something to slow down??? Some people use a drag sock or a bucket. Go the speed your lures need to look right. I like a spoon that goes ROCK, TUMBLE, FLIP, REPEAT. Basically, as slow as possible but maintain good action. I can't tell you exact speed. I don't monitor that.
What size weight is your down rigger ball? Does it have any prism tape for extra flash? I would start at 25 feet behind the ball, but its good to know they aren’t afraid at 10 foot.
I'm going to look at a boat tomorrow I hope to follow you around a learn the lake
Awesome! Upstream is south. Downstream is north ha ha!
Randall, your vid’s are as real as it gets! Thanks for bringing us along.
THAT is what I'm going for! Thank you!

It's my pleasure and I appreciate that!
Found you channel by accident. Spent the past few hours binge watching. Nice job.
Hey man! Thanks for subbing. I try to put a new video up each week on Mondays. If you have any questions or thoughts to share please do.
Great video, I would like to fish fish Raystown sometime soon.
randallrydes.com and pick a date. I hope you do.

Transparency is key. Lakers are mostly found around 7 points. They are usually deep. 45 feet or more mostly.
@@randallrydesfishing thanks for the info now I know where to start looking. It will save me a lot of time.
Since I only have a weekend. Again thanks

A true northerner!! Thanks for sticking around.
@@randallrydesfishing Ubet Are you in Florida now ??
No I have to get my bike inspected before I ride south. I should be on the road within the next 10 days. I'll be in Florida most of March.
@@randallrydesfishing We are from Alberta but before Covid we would winter at Toledo Bend LA and Chrystal springs Florida Paradise down there
@@worldsfastestube7302 That sounds like a great idea! Cold North is good for a few weeks but then... lol

I'm sure you are right. I've noticed that if you bring them up slowly they release healthy nearly every time. Thanks for pointing that out.

@@randallrydesfishing thanks as always for the advice. I might give the bucket trick a try.
You're welcome

I think that one is 8#. No flash. That is a good idea though!
What lb test line do you use
30lb main with 20lb leader
Thank you
Jumping the gun a little aren’t you?😵💫😳🤣😂🤣🙏🏻🇺🇸👍💯
Not soon enough my friend!
