bkidder no problem with the question, this is what these message boards are for.
as for lake trout, I have prolly cault most of mine vertical jigging, through the ice, I use a 1 ounce jig, if in over 150 feet of water just a little bigger jig is all and i use cut bait, I take a smelt and dress it up to look good and bout 4 inch piece of it, some times i use a whole smelt, then I just bounce the jig off the bottom and raise it up a couple feet and lower it, bounce it off bottom, then rip it up a couple feet fast, just keep it up some time you get them and some times you dont, when the ice is good, I will move around some, just to try to get on active fish and some guys will spray some wd-40 on there bait, some feel it helps, i have tryed it and dont see a diffrence.
hey i sure will try to post pictures when i get out, I am not the best at posting pictures, some web site I dont have any trouble and the next i just cant lol may be you could walk me through posting pictures here on this site and I will see if I have any thing from last year to post, for a test run.
hey I have one question for you, where are you from?
Happy fishing.
