lakers in the summer

If you do not own a boat to get into deep water, how do you catch the deep lakers ? Do you still use anchovies and sucker meat to catch them ? I would imagine lake trout would go as deep as they can in the hot weather of summer.

They do go very deep when it gets hot.  I don't see how it is possible to get to them without a boat and a good set of downriggers.  In lake Champlain they fish as deep as 150-200' for them.

You might hook-up occasionally, but a boat is going to make all the difference.

Early spring just after ice-out you can get them in the surface water running with salmon though.

Any reason you can jig them up just like we do icefishing??

Sure, but you need to be over top of them when they are in deep water during the summer.  Kind of hard to do if you don't have a boat.  Unless you are John Elway and you can cast as far as he can throw! ;D

We gave a boat but doesnt have any downriggers.  I would like to go and try to catch a few.  Should  I try jigging?  What should i use?
