Marquette Lake Trout: Tungsten Over Rock, Bites on the Drop

Superior does not hand you anything. The wind we launched into off Marquette had teeth. The water was 44 degrees on top and the fish were pinned to the rock, like they always are. You just have to be willing to go get them.

We spent the morning vertical over a series of humps topping out at 60 feet and falling into 110. Tungsten jigging spoons dropped fast enough to stay under the boat in the drift. The glow core did the rest in the low light down deep.
