  • Day four is an absolute Lake Trout slam. Trolling, vertical jigging, casting, it didn’t seem to matter. I also discuss the different techniques I employ to catch Lake Trout. Day five we finish up with a few fish on Amoeber Lake and make our way through Topaz Lake to Cherry Lake. The bluffs on Cherry do not disappoint and we are treated to a breathtaking sunset to close the day at one of the nicer campsites in the Boundary Waters.

    I have spent many, many trips to the northwoods chasing lake trout ...and I'm glad I came across your channel. Subscribed immediately -- thanks for the content.

      Thanks for the support - glad you found me! Plenty of trout content on this channel. Most people are looking for Walleye so I do that, too, but my true passion is trout fishing and I am sure I don't have to explain why :)

    Fantastic channel, makes me miss home. Looked like a Piragis decal on one of the canoes. Keep it up and thanks for the great videos!

      Thank you, I will certainly keep them coming! Yep, that was a Piragis Decal. I work for them up here in Ely so I get the privelage of taking their boats out on the water for my trips when I am not in my solo boat. Are you from Northern MN?

    Awesome vids, what sonar setup do you use? Do you use the same setup for ice as well? I’ve been pounding Burntside all summer with no luck lol.

    • @therealfarwater
      @therealfarwater  Před 9 měsíci +1

      Thank you!! Burntside is tough, I still haven’t caught a laker there in the summer-but generally have luck in the winter in 40-65’ of water with a small 1/4oz jig and 4” white paddle tail. Go small, they’re eating smelt in there. I made a video for my sonar setup, since I get so many questions about it:

    Just curious, what is your set up for trolling (including your mounting system for your rod - sorry if i missed)? Been trying to figure out a good system. Thanks for sharing these videos, they are fun to watch! Thanks!

      Thanks! Hummingbird helix 5 with a summer transducer and like six different RAM Mount components to attach it to the canoe securely. I used to bring a regular old 12v lead acid battery but got sick of carrying the weight. I upgraded to a 10Ah Dakota Lithium battery that weighs about half the lead 7ah battery. I can get about 25-30 hrs out of it if I turn the screen brightness down, which is good for a 3-4 day trip

      Yep, almost all of the fishing I do is in the Boundary Waters in Northern MN. I have taken a few trips into Quetico Provinical Park, but haven't been since they suspended the RABC permit...just waiting for that to open back up so I can paddle to Quetico directly, rather than making the 5 hour drive around and going through customs

    Did you know that bleeding your fish is actually not fast but is slow and torturous! The best and most humane way to kill fish is to club them on the head, they instantly die from this and you can still bleed them out afterwards but at least they don't feel it and do not have a prolonged death.

    • @therealfarwater
      @therealfarwater  Před rokem

      Yep! When I bleed them it generally doesn’t take more than 30 seconds to perish, but I have started clubbing to expedite the process and reduce stress on the fish
