A kayak trip for lake trout turned into small mouth catching...

Fished out of Alton Bay and took some video of it here:

Had a lot of fun. I hadn't fished out of Alton Bay in 20 years. I expected a lot of boat traffic but the amount of boats out on a weekday morning was astonishing.

Hope all is well!

Have you tried smoking lake trout? Back when I was fishing more often I tried this and thought the trout came out excellent. Otherwise, back in the lake they go!

Hill;

Yes I have....I have tried everything to make these fish taste good! The only thing I do with lakers when I catch them now is throw them back! Fun to catch, nasty to eat!!

Tried it once but the paper got soggy and couldn't keep it lit.
