Thank you! It's a Wilderness Systems "Catch Cooler". Just checked their website and it looks like they don't sell it anymore. I like it, but I have some issues with it too.
Nice catches, I’m heading up there next week and I really wanna get a laker, how deep were those fish? And were they on any sort of structure or anything like that?
Thanks Kevin! I found these guys in 70-ish feet of water, which is around the thermocline depth in this lake (Cayuga). During summer I've found the greatest numbers of them around that depth in general, although it seems to vary a little day by day. They were on open flats. Good luck out there!
@@rem_fishing thanks, I’m going to lake George which is close by so I’m hoping it’s the same situation there. So basically I should fish around flats that are around that depth?
@@kevinmaloy8409 I'm not very familiar with Lake George BUT I'd venture to guess that's a good place to start. I hope you get 'em! I'd be glad to hear back how it goes.
Thanks!! Here I'm using Cabela's 1 oz jig heads. Honestly they aren't the greatest bc they do tend to bend after a big fish. But its bc they are a fairly light wire which I think pierces through a Lakers bony mouth more easily since they're thinner diameter. They are super cheap too, so it's like if you bend one out, no big deal just tie on a fresh one.
Any tips for getting into lake trout? I have a couple nearby lakes that have em, but not quite sure of the technique or where to find em. I catch the bows and browns all the time, but always miss on the lakers. Except for Spring when the ice melts I can find smaller ones shallower. Thanks and enjoyed the video!
A fish finder is fairly crucial. I'm actually posting a new video today and about half way through it I talk a bit more about the technique I like to use. I'd say check that out then let me know if you have any specific questions still. Happy to answer if I know!
If anyone doesn't mind can you share the recipe you would recommend for throwing lake trout this size on a pellet grill. Gave it a shot with one I caught last weekend that was 26in and it turned out not bad but I'm curious what people would recommend.
This is in the Finger Lakes, which is somewhat near the Great Lakes, but I don't think my launch location would be terribly helpful for you. The technique may still work though. I hope you have a good trip and catch a ton! *EDIT - And congrats on the kayak!!
Just rigged my first Buzzbomb (all the way from British Columbia). My 1st Fish Finder arrived also = Lowrance Hook Reveal 7 TS. Hope to jig up a Laker, Brown, Rainbow, Striper, Hybrid here in NE Tennessee. How fast do you go in your kayak while using your Lowrance ? Video i viewed today stated ya need to do 3mph or more for better clarity.
It's just a really calm day. I'm drifting a bit though, there's just not much frame of reference to notice it I guess, since this is out in the open water. Thanks for watching though!
I agree. They prefer the bottom so if they're expending energy to leave their comfort zone, chasing food would likely be the motivation. *edit - oh and thanks for watching! I appreciate it.
@@rainbow-troutfisher9005 Sure you can use a medium power rod for a fish that size. Rod selection often has more to do with the lure you're using. Dial your drag in properly though! If you're targeting big browns from shore or wading, I'd go with a longer rod than what I use on the kayak. And obviously you can use something cheaper, I just like those. Hope that helps.
What a gorgeous setup you have, love the video amazing work my man got yourself a new subscriber
Thanks Johnathan! I'm hyped you're onboard ;)
great video man... making me want to dig my kayak out and do so fishin!!

Awesome video,,what cooler bag are you using?
Thanks!! That’s the wilderness systems catch cooler.

Pa. Here . Can u tell me if u need a kayak launch permit on the finger lakes. Thanks. And Great video
Thanks! No you don’t need that.

@@rem_fishing awesome! Thank you for the reply. I do have electronics on the kayak. I'll check out the new video. Thanks again.

Nice work my friend !!
Hi man, new here to the kayak world and planning a trip to Lake Superior in August. Where did you launch from?
This is in the Finger Lakes, which is somewhat near the Great Lakes, but I don't think my launch location would be terribly helpful for you. The technique may still work though. I hope you have a good trip and catch a ton!

Cool! Good luck! I don't know about there being any minimum speed, mine works fine just sitting still.
Eel like that make killer bait for sturgeon
How are you not drifting around when you jig? Sorry if you said I had my volume off 😅
It's just a really calm day. I'm drifting a bit though, there's just not much frame of reference to notice it I guess, since this is out in the open water. Thanks for watching though!
@@rem_fishing alright awesome. keep up the amazing videos
Trout are members of the char family.
Lake Trout, but not all trout. I think I mention that, but maybe in another video. Thanks for watching and thanks or the comment! Keep fishing!
Should I use a crappie trolling rod or a bass rod?
I'd use the bass rod. 7 foot medium is really good for this.
@@rem_fishing ok thank u very much is 10 pound mono enough
@@shad1791 You're welcome! Yep 10 lb is good.
What action is your pole ?
Hey Jay - it’s a medium, fast action.
I find the fish that are suspended are actively feeding.
I agree. They prefer the bottom so if they're expending energy to leave their comfort zone, chasing food would likely be the motivation.
*edit - oh and thanks for watching! I appreciate it.
What rod ?
Either St Croix Premiere Medium 6'6" or 7' - I have two and can't remember.
@@rem_fishing I was about to say looks familiar
@@rem_fishing could I use a Rapala countdown or a spoon for it cause we’re in from we have 15 pound browns ! So I’m looking for a good rod 😅
