back lake brookies, personal best

Great to hear that the extra effort was rewarded. Hope your buddy did well too. If you’re going again and need an extra guy. Touch base.

Awesome looking brookies and congrats on your PB. Can’t wait to target those brookies soon. Wondering if you caught them jigging or on set lines.

Very nice looking fish never caught one myself. Do they fight as much as a lake trout?

Beauty specks! It is nice to rewarded for the effort. Personal best, can't get much better than that!

deepjigger the smaller one was caught jigging in the flip over on small jig tipped with minnow , the bigger fish was on a set line outside using just a minnow both in about 6 feet of water

they can be very scrappy fish for their size these two came out fast don't like to mess around through the ice too many chances to get wrapped around a branch and get broke off ask sparky 302 he would be the resident brookie expert on this forum

What sled did you use to break trail?

i have a 440 skandic long track good in the bush

Thanks for that info , grampa.

Were you in Zone 11 by any chance?

Fishing specs in the spring and summer is a blast and fun to catch can only imagine in the winter. Have only caught rainbows in the winter have always wanted to go for specs....

WOW Nice catch I fished brooks a lot when is was younger and never caught anything close to that size .

Big specks and small specks are like completely different fish on the line. Smaller fish will spend all there energy trying to throw the hook - head shakes from start to finish. Big ones will try to break your line.

Beauty fish grampa, and that's certainly the machine for the job.

Nice fish and great choice of machine to get into those back lakes I love fishing for those square tails the few times I go for them nothing beats the taste of them aswell.
