On our vacation to Lake Tahoe, we decided to take time out for a fishing trip for lake trout (mackinaw). We also spent time sight-seeing around Tahoe and Carson City. Here is Cindy with a 9-pound mack that she caught off a down-rigger, using a Needlefish.
Cindy has the patience to fish, which makes her good at it. She always catches the biggest and most fish on any trip we take.
Any good captain will have a good supply of spoons for deep-water fishing for macks.
Cindy and I pose with one of the lakers that I caught.
You can see on the fish finder that the lake trout were stacked up on the bottom. That's those curved arches you see on the white screen.
"Captain Brad" did a great job keeping us on the fish, and made for a pleasant trip with his knowledge and expertise.
As you can see, Tahoe is a beautiful blue lake. And on this day we had hardly any wind. Perfect for trolling, and enjoying the morning out on the boat.
