Jigging for lakers

[yakfish]

I've been wanting to get out on Lake Ontario to do some jigging. I wonder if anyone would be willing to share some tips in jigging for lake trout? I've never tried lake trout fishing before but I've heard that when active they will hit nearly anything, but that big tube jigs and paddle tail swimbaits can be really good. This sounds like a lot of fun especially compared to trolling. What I have no idea about is how to go about locating fish. What type of water and structure am I looking for? Depths? I'm fishing from a kayak but I have sonar with GPS and side imaging. I already have a couple options to launch from but once I'm out on the lake I'm not really sure where to start looking.

Thanks

look for 70-120 FOW and look for bait.. IMO jigging them on finger lakes is easier because it is easier to locate bait and it moves less day to day where on LO here today gone tomorrow

Occasionaly reel the lure up from the bottom as the lakers will chase it up. Sort of like vertical trolling.
