Laker jigging 12/3

[Delawareriver]

Wanna reach out and thank everyone that gave me invites for rides on their rigs. Talked with a bunch of you but Trevordog was one of the first and our schedules worked out the best. Met Saturday at first light. Launched and made our way to our first spot. Cruised around 50-60fow point and found the lakers stacked so we locked the troller troller on ans went to work. Within minutes I was locked up. Using a lighter rod but literally felt like I was snagged on bottom before I felt a head shake or two on my rod which was doubled over and than she popped the hook. Few more swings and misses before I had another one hooked. This one i landed. Good fish but didn't feel like a 1/10th of the first one. Wasn't long after I landed a 2nd one. Trevordog hooked up a few times as well but just couldn't keep those dang fish glued. Plenty of lakers down there as we constantly marked schools of them moving through but they definitely wernt aggressive. They wernt chasing and most of the hits were when lures were falling. By 9am seemed like they really turned off. Wind continue to pick up so we called it around 1030am. T po ugh day for sure, troller struggled to keep us in place and fish didnt wanna come on board but we made the bestbofnit. Hopefully we can do it again on a less windy day with some more cooperative fish.

Great looking Lakers man! Definitely a little snotty out with the swirling winds! Way to hang in there and get a few good ones!!!

Very nice Lakers, some die hards right there, that wind was nasty. I fished a Tournament Saturday that ended at 2pm, if it wasnt for that, I would not have been out there. It's all good though when were fishing!!!

Good looking specimens there, way to stick it out in the crappy conditions.

First bite and landed fish were on the lucky lure. Than switched over to jigging raps sonars tubes and bucktails. 2nd fish came on a bucktail. All the the lures had swings and misses but at the same time none of them really turned them on. Can't wait to get out there again.

Good time fishing with Delawareriver, You worked your fishfinder like a fine instrument! Wind was howling for sure, but I must say the Minn Kota spot lock did its best to keep us on them for the most part, couldn't imagine what it would have been like without it Fist time jigging for lakers and even though I couldn't seem to keep them on, had a good time.

If you watch bassnblues video you can see its definitely a common issue. Don't know if its their tough mouths, or how they tend short strike the lures or how they roll probably a combination of the 3 but they can be a pain especially they arnt aggressive. Little more sun and little less wind we will slaughter them next time
