Casting For BIG Lake Trout in SHALLOW Water! (Lake Superior Surprise)

We set out on Lake Superior, heading deep into the Apostle Islands in search of lake trout on offshore reefs. Our plan was to jig in 80 to 120 feet of water — but what we found completely changed the game. Instead of finding fish down deep, we started marking big lakers up shallow — just 40 feet of water on top of a reef. Using Livescope, we spotted them cruising and set up to cast paddle tail swimbaits. What followed was an unforgettable session of scoping, casting, and battling big lake trout in water we didn't even plan to find them in! In This Video You'll See: • Our setup for jigging deep lake trout • How we used Livescope to spot fish shallow • Swimbait casting tactics for lakers • Epic battles with big trout in skinny water This trip was a perfect reminder that sometimes the best fish show up where you least expect them. If you love big water fishing, surprises, and chasing trophy lake trout, this video’s for you.
