Hi wsconner;

Mike F gave you some great info to get you started. I too also highly recommend Chamberlain releases for your downrigger. I started using them this year and will never go back! If you want a good tutorial on how to use them, go to youtube and do a search. They are pretty easy to use and the video will take all the guess work out of it. If you want a hands on demo, P.M. me next time you plan on being up at the lake and I will be more than happy to meet up with you and show you how. I pretty much live up here all summer so anytime is good for me.

As Mike F also said go to AJ's and ask him all the questions you want. He is a great guy and his knowledge of the lake and what works is second to none. He will steer you in the right direction on lures, line, swivels and everything else that works.

Enjoy your time fishing with your boys and hope you catch a lot of lake trout!!

Hiring a guide increases your chances greatly. No I'm not a guide. They are on the water almost every day and stay in touch with the fish. The site MikeF sent you too will have some guides listed. You will learn alot to use on yur own trips. I'd suggest a full day for best value but half days are lower in cost.
