Combat Chuck
Ok. the details... went on friday with a buddy and had a chaotic bite. We had trouble keeping rods in the water (see above video). The fish were shallow and were hitting any color of wedding ring or hoochie ... both with dodgers. We had a lot of trouble with hookups and only landed about 1 in 4. The dock picture was from that day. When I got home I just happen to see a new Anglers West episode. They were kokanee fishing and recommended a size 2 Gami drop shot hook. I tested it on sunday... and the results were great (see boat bow pic). The fish stick to these much better than the octopus' that I was using. Fishing with just the dog I got my limit in 3.5 hours and probably only lost 5. They were deep today and preferred hoochies, again any color. I will work on the video later in the week. Im not really sure mine are bigger, I think they were 11-12, maybe a couple 13". This is my sophomore season at GP so Im not sure I have any secrets that havent been already said. Just a good student I guess!
I tried experimenting with setting the hook vs. not setting it. It seemed like when I set the hook all I got was a piece of fish lip. It looks like you do a hook set, though. There must be a way to do it just right that I haven't learned yet.
Combat Chuck did it once again today! We got some where around 40 into the cooler! I got mine soaking in some brine right now!
There was a kokanee derby held at green peter today as well, and im sure chuck would of have done well in it if he had entered!
I still say we would have had 50 if you hadnt brought bananas on the boat!
LOL. I think the chocolate chex mix off set the bananas!
My kokanee turned out really well! My step dad even enjoyed them and he doesn't eat salmon/trout.
