[QUOTE="Riggen&Jiggen, post: 34542, member: 564"] Bring 1 to 2 oz. jigs, white, green, chartruse in colors. Get a few heavy spoons that you can use for vertical jigging. Tip them with bait like pieces of smelt. For trolling buy a couple big dipsy divers and/or get 3 to 5 oz. snap on weights, or three way rig like mentioned above. Years ago I used to tie together 5 1oz. bottom bouncers and trolled a flat fish 4 ft. behind the bottom bouncers. I caught several lakers this way at ft. peck before I got downriggers. Any how having a few heavy jigs, spoons, flatfish and asorted weights/dipsy divers you should be good to go. Like mentioned before lakers are fairly easy to see on the electronics and they relate to deep water structure just like walleyes only they are 50 to 100ft deeper. So don't fish until you see big marks hanging off of deep structure. I would think in Canada with a lake that has cool water you would have a shot at them as shallow as 60ft. on down to 150ft. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
