Heading up to Northern Walleye Lodge in Missanabie, ON end of August thru Beginning of September. I haven't been to Canada in decades. Going mainly for walleye, but do want to try some lake trout fishing. Do you have a video where you go over your setup(s) that you use (rod and reel, line, etc...) and your favorite baits? Also, do you ever catch, clean and cook your lake trout? Thanks!
Very intersting. I will try these thecnics. But i canot use electronics here in national parc Canada. But i dont worry, just leave to stisk on buttom will be improve my lake trout jigging. Tanks.
Another tip now this is just personally for me. I never pumped the rod when I reel up or fight it. I always gently lift while keeping pressure if I keep pointing down and reeling while lifting up I feel like gives it a touch of slack cause they spit it easy
Best bet would be to use topography maps and fish structure, inclines, flats, it takes a long time and a lot of effort , trial and error to figure a body of water out.
Mac, love the content! You have any tips for late July/August cruisers that don't seem to be interested in anything at all. I'm in Ontario and I see tons of slow cruisers coming down from higher in the column headed to the bottom or just fish on the bottom that won't take interest in anything I drop to them. Tubes, swimbaits, spoons, rattle baits, blade baits, hair jigs, spin tails, you name it. Just trying to figure out how to catch these guys lol Or is it just a matter of them not feeding when I happen to be fishing??! Thanks and keep the good content coming!
Solid video man. Thanks for the tips. Did have a question. My live scope isn’t the clearest like yours. Should I run a dedicated battery to my livescope. I feel like after messing with all my settings I have to run super high gain to see myself down there.
Thanks for the video. Do you think its necissary to mount the livescope on the pole or is it ok to mount on trolling motor when doing this style of fishing?
My buddies know a place quite a ways off the shore of lake huron that they use GPS to get to and what depth we are fishing at. They do have a fish finder but it doesn't often mark fish so it's more of a guessing game. We caught one of the biggest fish so far for a derby going on atm. The fish finder did nothing in finding the fish for us, in fact we don't bother looking at it, we more focus on our depth!
Yeah. So weird that people use technology to their advantage. Shocking that they don't just drive around aimlessly, wasting their own and their customer's time.
@@CG-vr4mb brother I think you took that a little too personal- I was saying that for the people that can’t afford hundreds or thousands of dollars in fishing equipment. Go touch some grass.
@MacMulligan were going to a deep water lake, so your setup is what I want but not trying to spend thousands at first, never fished trout before I'm normally fishing for bass
I like the format and content here. But the audio volume levels are all over the place. Look in your video editor for audio tools like "compressor" or "limiter", or just pay some basic attention to levels when you're editing. Then, with the good content, I think that your channel can go far.
If this was filmed yesterday, July 24th, then I can confirm that the lake trout here in Northeast, Minnesota. They were acting very much the same way. Either they just straight up couldn't be bothered with anything I was sending down to them, or they would half heartedly chase and only bump the lure every now and then. Paying attention to solunar tables is definitely a thing... yesterday was rubbish
I believe this was filmed the 18th. I definitely see patterns too but I'm a firm believer that theres a way to catch some fish at all times its just where and how
The Timelapse of you heading out to spot at the start was amazing. Great perspective of your trip out to the spot. 👍
Glad you enjoyed it thanks for the comment appreciated 😀
Great job and the information is very useful when targeting Lake Trout. I targeted lake trout all the time but I troll for them 🎥😎👍🇨🇦
Thanks for watching! Appreciate it!
Truly the trip out to the big lake is worth a whole video . Nice job.
It really is! Maybe will
Bunch of good tips, another good video!!
Appreciate it thanks man!

I will definitely be doing a video on that soon

Glad you can take something from it!
looks like a perfect day out!!! LIKE GLASS no wind

Your rod should do all the work. Your reel is just to manage the line
hey, just wondering how I would find a school or some lake trout without livescope/tech, or knowing if there is cover near the bottom?
I still use My 2d technology to find schools of lake trout or to chase bait fish schools!
And what would that be, and how would I use it
@@joshualamming looking for archs
@MacMulligan I think hes asking how to find them without electronics
Best bet would be to use topography maps and fish structure, inclines, flats, it takes a long time and a lot of effort , trial and error to figure a body of water out.
Thank you, that was very educational.

I'm running the lvs 62 also
Hey, what mounting solution are you using to stack your helix's vertically? And are you happy with it? Seem stable in waves? Thanks.
I run 2 cisco mounts and yes I find there pretty good
I like using walleye assassin plastics when jigging for lakers.... I've had really good luck with them this year.
Elephant eats the peanut!
Thanks for the video. Do you think its necissary to mount the livescope on the pole or is it ok to mount on trolling motor when doing this style of fishing?
The pole is better in my opposition because there's less movement where the trolling motor is none stop moving
What fish finder are you using?
How heavy of leader line do you recommend? I’ve been running 30lb fluoro but scared it’s too heavy and I’m missing opportunities
I use 15-20
Can't find any lake trout fishing guides that don't use sonar. So weird how people can't catch fish without a fish finder.
Old school

Do you mind sharing what sonar you're using?
126sv ultra
I live out west and gonna give it a whirl. What do you use for bait and do you use scents. I fish alot of salmon out here
Tip with cut bait some times
Got to love catching those burbot in the summer. A great tasting treat on the barbecue.
They are great tabel fair yes! My favorite shore lunch
What kind of lure are you "Jigging" with Please??!! Thank You
A few different droptine tackel tubes
Great video! Just what I needed 👍
Glad it helped!
Mac- what rod are you mainly using for jigging LT?
Shimano scimitar! Medum heavy and Heavy!
Thk Mac
Just out of curiosity buddy. How many feet is your boat?
Lund 2075 pro guide
The Mac is Back !!! Let’s gooo!
Thanks buddy
Mac Attack!!!!! Mac in awe!
Haha exactly!
What bait, rod and reel is good for the lake trout fishing?
I use alot of steel head rods and I like spinning reels nothing better than hearing that drag peel
In Maine, many of us call the burbot (freshwater) cusk and some refer to the meat as "poor man's lobster."
We say poor man's lobster too
Thanks Mat, and it is fun! Lol
Good stuff
Thansk appreciate it!
Curious what kind of fish finder your using with the live sonar
126sv
@MacMulligan and what is that feature your using called I wanna make sure I have that feature if I don't get that model
@@josephgrundel6038 I'm using the lvs 62 transducer it's the best in the deep water applications
@MacMulligan were going to a deep water lake, so your setup is what I want but not trying to spend thousands at first, never fished trout before I'm normally fishing for bass
What action rod do you recommend?
In this video I was using a mh steel head rod
@@MacMulligan O! Ok.
Which Lund boat is that you are running?

2K subscribers seems criminally low. Thanks for sharing!
It's a newer channel appreciate it! Hope to see it go up at more content comes out!

Yes I absolutely agree. I've been working on it! This was very early in my video Days
❤️👊💪🎣
What setup is that ?
Shimano scimitar 8'6" mh
Why not use a Rapala knot?
More confident in this one.
Mack daddy! What’s up brooo
Silly walleye rod eh bud 😂😂
Big papi!
Do own an expensive fish finder
