  • Lake Michigan's conditions were fishable and we wanted to get out. So, instead of trolling and catching a few brown trout and small coho, while we are waiting for the mother load of Coho to come in, we decided to head out of Hammond Marina onto Lake Michigan to jig up Lake Trout. We ended up with 4 Lake Trout today. We also casted at the warm water discharge as well and ended up snagging a big carp which we released and also catching a smaller Brown Trout. My main go-pro quit on me so this video was made with one camera. We will have a new camera on the next video. Thanks for all the support guys!!

    Thanks for the video and fish update! Inland lakes here in SWMI are almost 50, so I'll get in some crappie fishing before the coho start!

      You can keep lake trout all year long. We enjoy catch and release when we are near shore jigging. Plus, these fish were a bit on the large size for us to enjoy eating.

    What an awesome day on the lake! A light south wind are magical words for me. Those were absolute tankers! I can't imagine jigging up a 21 lb fish. Do you use the same rod/reel combo as for coho? Awesome job, Brian and crew!

    • @BigLakeLittleBoat
      @BigLakeLittleBoat  7 місяців тому +1

      Thanks, Bob. We use 6.6 medium action rods with bait casters and 10 pound test. Just normal bass stuff, really. We loosen the drags a bit too, so they don’t break off

    Love those multi-species days! I also love that you got this out a day after recording. I wanted to get the yak out Saturday but life had other plans so I'm fishing through you vicariously. Regarding the carp, catch one on a fly rod and you'll become obsessed :)

    Question- Do you ever keep your lake trout. How do they taste. Do you have any recipes for trout. I feel the ones 12 lbs or less should be good eaters.

    • @BigLakeLittleBoat
      @BigLakeLittleBoat  7 місяців тому +2

      We rarely keep any lake trout while jigging, because we want to kind of keep the same fish coming back, but we do keep under 5 to 6 pound lake trout when we are out offshore, and will eat those. We cook the smaller Lake trout just as we would early season coho. My wife made a good recipe the other day that involved a special sauce and dried tomatoes and stuff and it was fantastic.

    • @BigLakeLittleBoat
      @BigLakeLittleBoat  7 місяців тому +1

      The only time that we would keep a trout, while Lake trout jigging is if they lost a lot of blood, and they were going to die

    • @johnlarocco2661
      @johnlarocco2661 7 місяців тому +2

      Maybe its time to get the wife to start a thing on recipes. Where she can give hers and receive recipes from others. I would but I don't have good computer skills. When you tell stories you get my mouth watering to try new recipes. Even though I love the one I have gotten over the years. @@BigLakeLittleBoat
