christmas lakers
 

Picked up some jenson cripple herring spoons yesterday and brought em out to the valley today. We had the standard binsky's with us also but they were hittin the jensons good today. I love the binsky's but one advantage the jenson has is its heavier and easier to keep on the bottom when fishing deep. Anyway fish were all over today got 5 decent ones and dropped a few all anywhere from 50 fow to 95 fow. Anyone else here ever use the johnson cripple herring and have any luck with them?

No lakers,.............though this is the time of year I usually catch some.

hey Mark I have been meaning to hit the east shore from shore. I did well last march there throwing stick baits from shore. Would be nice to hit a laker from shore. what area on the east shore do you hit if you dont mind me asking? the middle, up by the north tower, or more towards the south end?

Re: christmas lakers
 

I fish more towards the south end. And I do the best, the windier the better from the NW, right in my face.

Re: christmas lakers
 

Nice catch buddy!!! I have a few of those crippled herring in a box somewhere. Lakers love em no doubt. Good stuff!!!

Re: christmas lakers
 

You guys think its going to be too windy to go out on Saturday morning around 7?

Re: christmas lakers
 

Thanks mark, I usually fish more towards the north end I'll give the south end a shot next time. Hey mike def. Watch the wind cause not only does it make jigging hard if its to windy it also can set off the wind lights wich will not allow you on the reservoir at all.

Re: christmas lakers
 

Good stuff JRock. Do these Lakers usually suspend or do they hang near the bottom?

Re: christmas lakers
 

They usually are hugging the bottom although there have been occasions that I have caught them higher in the water column, but for the most part yea they are on the bottom. This time of year they are spread out as far as depth is concerned though. I know you enjoy doin the jigging thing skunk after tearin up greenwood this fall. I don't know if you ever jigged for lake trout but its a good time and you can catch a lot of fish them things are crazy active in the cold water.
