How are you guys fishing? Those tube jigs? Are you dead sticking them or small movements of just a couple inches or more aggressive than that? I can never seem to figure out how to catch lake trout on tube jigs.
At several points in the video, we show what tube jigs we are using (including other lures). We also show how we are jigging them. Rewatch starting at 9:06 to answer your question.
@@KSLOutdoors It also depends on the lure being used. I believe we had one fish that was caught on a tube that was dead stick when it hit. The rest are all caught with some small and even larger jigging motions. The Tika Minnow is an aggressive short 12-18 inch jigging motion. Hope this helps.
@@KSLOutdoors i’m specifically asking about the tube jigs. I heard what type, colors and size jigs to use and I know how to rig them. I just don’t know the particular movement used for the tube jigs. I see the guys fishing, but I don’t know which of them have a tube jig on their line vs the other jigs spoken about, so that doesn’t answer my question. Adam answered it below though.
@@adameakle5431 thanks Adam! I am up there this week and was playing around with several different types of movements from slow long movements to short quick, but didn’t catch enough to really settle in on a favorite. I’ll keep trying.
@@erichunter14 I won't lie, it's taken me 4-6 trips with BMF Outfitters, watching TJ's technique and being frustrated quite a few times to figure it out. Not sure I've perfected it by any means, but I'm finally catching a few. One thing is don't cover up the hook with cut bait or the tube. Leave a good amount of hook open for the fish to bite it. Also, I think braid is the way to go. I put a 8-10 foot leader of flouro on, the braid doesn't stretch when hitting. It's also easier to watch it go down and notice if your lure has been picked up. One thing a buddy of mine does is he uses really heavy braid. By heavy I mean 60-80 lbs! It's overkill but what it does is it allows the lures to fall slower. I really like the Tika minnow by Clam. I've used it a bit ice fishing and found it really productive. You can usually find them at Scheels or online.
Why didn't Utah put the change in effect the same time Wyoming did. There are times when both states. On waters that are in two states, put the change in the same time . Instead of different intervals of time.
So curious point in the video... at about 6 minutes you guys had caught quite a few pups, and the older guy catches a bigger female and hangs out over the side and squeezes its belly to see if eggs come out. If we are trying to cull a big number of Lakers from the pond, why would he put the eggs back in the lake?
@@duttonsw5712 that's pretty obvious if they are still in the fish, but if they are ready to be released, it is likely that there are bucks sperming away down in the water too.
The biologist was checking to see if the fish was ripe, (releasing eggs). I think he was just being nice and didn't want to express eggs on the boat. The eggs were still pretty green and she wasn't expressing any.
@@duttonsw5712 Not at all. A hot tub has chemicals that would void any life in the swimmers. Your's is a straw-man argument. On the other hand, it's scientifically proven that lake trout eggs do get fertilized in the lake.

The eggs aren't fertilized

@@LancePostma-ry9mc I think your imagination has gone a little wild, thats about as likely as getting pregnant from a hot tub

Big ones taste terrible!
