the kokes are running 12 to 15 inches it seems, real good for a res with that large of a population. Brian

Yeah, those are bigguns for GP alright. They're usually smaller.

Dumb request but would you take a pic of the way your trolling rig and weight were hooked up/ I want to see how to do it if possible.

Got on the water about 8 am imideiatley boater two fish. Then about a half hour later two more. After that lost probably ten at the boat. They were all in the top 20 feet. All though the fish finder was showing 95% at 50 + feet. Water was 57 degrees.

this is how ive been rigging them, and its been working for me. if you use a troll, just put it where the dodger is, rudder first, and then theres 12 to 24 inches of leader to my spinner, when i use a snubber it goes between the troll and lure. just mix it up a bit until you find what they want. I have also had luck without the dodger or troll, I like to use the least amount of gear as possible, and i stick to smaller lake trolls when im using them. also check out the uv dodgers they have now. good luck, Brian

Thanks cap, like I mentioned in previous posts I am kinda new to trolling. I was using egg sinkers just ahead of the swivel. will have to try the banana things. Hooking them buggers is another matter. I seem to loose more fish at the bite then anything.

Thanks for the report, I am headed up there in the morning to give it a go. One of the advantages to living 10 minutes from the lake:D

Just wondering...

wouldn't using a dodger effect the way that a trailing lure works? (spinner or spoon)

I lose a lot of trout when using snubbers. But, I lose a lot of kokes when I don't use snubbers. Catch 22. DOH!

Cap, how do you work around that issue?

we actually catch more kokes without the snubbers, i think it depends on wether your setting the hook, or trying to let the fish set it. If your going to set it, better use a snubber.
