You and everyone else. Mac fishing isn't an overnight sensation, its a lifestyle. It's months scouring the reservoir trying to learn where these monsters of the deep like to roam. It's weeks trying to find the right fish that is even remotely interested in your offering. It's days spent trying to be so perfect in your presentation that you finally fool one of these giants. It's hours of constant focus and 1 second where your mind wanders to a passing boat or flying Osprey and BONK, you missed your chance.
This is why it's usually years before you ever catch the giant heartache that you chase.
Go to the very north end of the reservoir, put on a jig and some sucker meat, catch burbot and laker pups if you're not willing to make the sacrifice of what it takes to pursue world class lake trout with any regularity.
Jim Williams was my mentor 4 years ago and continues to be to this day. This year I landed five fish over 30 lbs on my own. I will still take a trip each year with him because he has almost 30 years of experience on the lake. His information is nearly priceless.
You might catch one wandering aimlessly by yourself, I honestly hope you do, but your years ahead to take the advice of someone who has lived it.
