Good weekend for Lake Trout

Well the 2009 season is officially underway here on Lake George.
The Highliner Charter boat fished both Saturday and Sunday mornings.
While out scouting and pre-fishing on Wednesday and Thursday I noticed
the birds were working the creek mouth and the Lakers were showing up
on the fish finder along the shoreline. “Bingo” I’ll be back on Saturday
morning.

Saturday at 7am the Highliner pulled away from the dock with Bob, his dad,
Jim, and Gary. When we arrived at the creek their were no birds working and
very few Lakers showing on the fish finder. After a pass and no fish, I knew
we had to locate the bait out in the bay and we would find the Lakers.
I assumed the main run of the smelt were still a few days away.

Once we located the bait suspended out in the deeper waters, the fun began.
The guys landed seven Lakers and kept four for the grill. A great way to
start the season.

On Sunday I had Pete and his wife Michelle and their son Nick. We found the
Fish in the same spot and Pete and Michelle sat back and laughed while Nick
Huffed and puffed to bring in seven out of nine Lakers. Including a bruiser of
8 or 9 lbs. All on a noodle rod with light line.
Nick kept two for the dining table and released the rest. A lot of fun was had by
all. Good job Nick.
