Lakers and some pics

Lake trout fishing has been very good on days you can get out. The fish are in close to. Dodgers with spin and glos how been the go to setups. Just because it gets cold outside doesn't mean you need to put boat away.

    Hinks,

    Congrats on the laker catching! Sounds like a great day.
    I was keeping my boat in n.e. this fall to do some laker fishing. I never could get them going. We only mange a dozens or so. This past spring and fall for me have been awesome for those slimmers. I had very high hopes for the fall. No go! My program consisted of spoons off the typical programs. This fall it was not the ticket.
    I decided to bring the starcraft home last week and put a fork on my laker fishing. We headed to Port Clinton over the weekend and smashed the eyes. We boated almost 50. It was unreal! I needed it after all the spoon washing.
    My walleye confidence is pretty good. However there is a lot I would really like to learn when it comes to open water trout. I had a few very successful trips to lake o this year with running some spin docs and flies.
    I'm itching to get on board with a good laker guy. I'm dying to learn about dodgers, flashers, spin&glows, cowbells and such exclusively for slimmers in lakertown! Not many do it.
    I can pay my share in fuel costs and run rods with the best of them. I know things are blowing now, but if she cleans up soon, I would love to get out with ya. I'm not working at the moment, so I can go anytime.
    I'm with you on putting the boat away. Just cause it's cold doesn't mean it's over. You can troll for walleye in Ohio til she freezes.
    You can email me anytime. Thanks in advance! davespring1@gmail.com

    Dave,

    Laker fishing in the fall can be dynamite. The lakers really like the big ugly dodgers and cowbells. They just can't seem to resist all the noise and commotion they make. I will shoot you an email with some tips and tricks.

    What is the average size Erie laker ? The only ones I've ever caught were out of Raystown. Anything there over 13lbs is a big one. They just don't get that big or are taken out by the charter boats before reaching hat size like we did. I know Lakers grow slow.

    The Erie lakers generally average 8 to 12 pounds.  They are caught in the low 20's pretty regularly and just about every trip.  They grow slow and the lamprey population takes it's toll on some of the bigger ones.  I personally know of 2 that were caught in the NY waters of lake Erie off Dunkirk that were 40 pounds in the last couple of years. The potential to get huge is there.
