My son and I have been wanting to try lakers. After watching your video we gave it a try and we caught 2 nice lakers and lost 2. Thanks for getting us started!
Turn up ur sonar and watch the interaction with ur lure. They usually behave pretty well if you grab the base of their tail with one hand like a baseball bat. Then put ur other hand under their belly. Also, it’s not uncommon for them to struggle to get back down when the surface temp is high. Having a descender ready helps get them back down.
I’m a little worried they may hurt themselves thrashing against the pincher. Good video interesting and I like the explanation of hitting the spot lock at the time the fish appears on graft Thanks Man
Spotlock is expensive. I keep drifting too much. How else can I do it without spending the money on Spotlock? I have an old aluminum boat that I can't put a bow mounted trolling motor on anyway. thanks.
Look into 'back trolling'. Just plug that into the search bar and watch a few videos on it. I was jigging while back trolling for 4 years before I got spot lock. If you want to join me on a jigging trip just give me a call or send me a text. randallrydes.com for my contact info

All good suggestions. Thank you!
I like your videos.
Why do you use the fish gripper and not just hold them normal?
They wiggle a lot. It helps hold them still for the video. They don't move as much if I control the head. Less chance of dropping them as well.

Thanks Man
I agree. I worry as well. I'm getting better at handling them. I prefer to keep them in the net unless I'm harvesting them.

@@randallrydesfishing I'll have a look. I am in Canada, you look like you are in the US. Thanks for the offer though.
What’s the weight of those jigging spoons you have I’m thinking of getting a couple, also Great job on the videos I’ve been following from the start👍🏻
approx 1 1/4 oz Thanks for staying with me man!
Hi Randall first time visitor. Subbed n notices on. Nice fishing bro
Thank you
Are you using any kind of weight to get to the bottom?
randallrydes.com is where you find the lure I used
what's the baitfish the lakers feed on?
Shad alewives and smelt
Do You have some of those jigs for sale?
Yeah I sell them on my site randallrydes.com
Reel away they like to chase
Yes they do! A paddle tail or fluke is good for that.
