Trakndwg thank you so much for your reply! What pound test do you think I should stick with? I think one reel I have right now has 10 pound test, but I need to get another one anyhow. What do you think? Had no idea about the pickerel, that's so exciting! How big we talking? Thanks again, and we will definitely be doing catch and release so others get the same thrill we hopefully get

Hi everyone, My family is going to be staying by the lake early this summer before it gets too hot and I am looking for some fishing tips. I'm pretty much a novice when it comes to fishing (mainly pan fish from small lakes and ponds with a crawler and float, certainly nothing complicated) but I would love to catch one of the lake trouts I have seen you all posting about on here over the past few years! A big bass (to me anything over 2 pounds would be big) would be great too. I have done a lot of research on my own and so far it sounds like for trout Sutton silver spoons seem to do well tied to a 3-way swivel with a 2-3 ounce weight on one side. Any other tips or lures you can help me with? I also saw that a Church Revelator and A Tom Mik Hammer fly seems to do well, but can't find where to buy online. Is it unreasonable to think we can have some decent luck from the shore? Thanks so much for any info you can give. We're so excited! Treefrog33
