Default Re: Lake trout fishing in NJ?

I used to fish for them at Merril Creek by double anchoring in spots that were between 80 and 110 feet of water. Often times on extreme dropoffs where one end of the boat was 10+ feet shallower than the other. Drop down herring and you could catch up a mess of fish quickly. Reel up very slowly and make sure you see air bubbles being 'burped' out.

I'm not sure if its feasible to fish that deep with live bait from a kayak. Maybe on a windless day you could drop down and drift very slowly.
