Incidental fish can be fun too!

[Waterfoul]

Seems every year while fall smallie fishing on the lakeshore lakes we manage an incidental fish or two.  This year it seems to be lake trout.  Got a couple yesterday hopping a smallie beaver around some serious structure on the bottom in 20 FOW or so.  This one put up a pretty good fight for a laker... thought I had a big pike at first.  I did catch a couple of nice big pike too, and some smallies!

Over the last couple of years I've boated kings, coho, steelhead, and now lakers on bass baits/tackle.  You know what they say:  "Lakeshore fishing is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna to get!"

You HAVE to love fall fishing!
