I love the "don't be hatin" sign and don't worry there is nothing wrong with a ghetto wind socks! If they work and it catches fish I don't think many would judge you. Well done!

Looking forward to hearing your success with that rig. You make some nice looking stuff. Very impressive!

That's my plan as well. The first year I had the boat I put it up in the garage about three months. My wife gave me crap last year because I had in the garage for about 3 DAYS! I try to pull it in and do a once over - clean - maintenance and wax job in the winter months. But it was time to...

9-11-10 Fished Saturday 9-11-10 from the crack of 0900 until 1230. The wife was with me so we don't start early but had two rods in the water. Went home with 5 nice bright fish. I had trouble missing several fish and a couple getting off. I realized I was using some of the first wedding...

Congrats on a great year. I too have enjoyed your posts and have been left in awe at the amount of fish you catch. I'm glad my luck has increased this year, but I have ways to go to catch up! That was not very nice to tease that guy at the fish cleaning station 101ok101! It would have been...

Nice report and nice kokes - Thanks Mark. It's nice to hear someone else say they don't want the craziness!

8-24-10 Fished from 0700 - 1130 today. Wind was not very cooperative. I felt a bit like a cork in the ocean out there for a while. Surface temp was 68 - 69 degrees. Winning combo for me was a red WR with silver spinner or red and green WR with chartreuse spinner. All taken between 40-50...

Ok there's been a few replies to this post and I'm a bit upset that no one is busting SilverBullets chops about those beedazzled downrigger balls! Is it because he's a super moderator....... I can't resist -- Hey silverbullets........ John Travolta called he wants his downrigger balls back...

Thank you for the recent reports gents. I was thinking it would be getting too late for the kokes but glad to hear it's still going. I have a gal at work that wants to try fishing with her son. The best I can do with schedules is next Monday. I hope they hold!!!

Well done Dad! It's great to see the little ones out there slaying fish. Brings back memories of my perch days - eastern US fishing for me but it's all the same perchy!

I'm a cannon guy just because that is what I grew up with. I have two Mag5HS on my rig and like them. Did some research and as always there is no "perfect" downrigger. There are some features I like about the Scotty's and some I like about the Cannons. I will say if you have the chance go...

If you don't mind me asking where do you do your koke fishing?

8-9-10 Had my nephews in town and they wanted a fishing / tubing trip. Monday was the only option. Well for those of you that were out there....... we only fished because it never broke 65 degrees! Didn't hit the lake until 1130 because their Mom wanted to wait for the sun to come out...

I have always used them even when running a hoochie with a dodger in front of it. I just run the release a few feet above the ball trolls like I do when running a wedding ring. I've always had success with this method but that doesn't mean some days might have been better without them. Seems...

Thanks for the report Kokarod. That road construction on 503 is a complete pain in the #*@! I know road maintenance has to happen and it's bound to happen in the summer BUT it still sucks. Glad you had a good day. I'm hoping to repeat your success on Monday. Nephews are coming to town.

I finally realized I have not done my normal technique of just googleing my question. I found several 'other' forums with people bashing the catch and release idea but I also found the following article for Lake Pend Oreille. It is apparently a catch and release lake for kokanee...

August 2nd trip On the water at 0630 to find out my partner for the day has cancelled. Oh well - one line in the water will have to do. Started by Campers Hideaway trolling "downstream". Nothing. Moved to what I know as "kokanee" cove. Found the fish off the point with the cabin on it...

MackPrince, That photo is flat out awesome! I'm also amazed you got your little girl on the water at 0700! I can't wife to get out of bed by then! Those are some big kokes! Well done all around sir

I'm thinking of a late evening trip (probably launch around 6PM depending on work). I've never done an evening trip so I'm wondering if the wind stays up all day once it gets going or does it lay back down at night? Also any boat traffic experience on a Friday night? Thanks for any input

I've done some searching on this site and that there internet thing in general and haven't found much about it. I was wondering the general feeling is on catching and releasing kokanee? I normally keep them but had a day today that I just wanted to fish and not deal with cleaning when I got...
