Title: Re: trolling to jigging transition

Jimmar, You said that lake trout hit when you stop, turn or slow up.  What that is telling you is that you need to fish deeper.  If you have a thermometer you should get down to the 40's for lake trout.  I don't think most people go slow enough when trolling for trout.  Getting down 40 feet is hard to do even at a moderate paddling rate.  Vertical jigging can be very productive once you find the trout.
