Shuttle hawks are easy to make. I have made several of them for a couple of dollars each excluding the price of the clip. You can design them so there isn't any way for them to come off your downrigger cable. I have used mine down to 65 ft without much problems. I have better luck if I hold onto...

I was there yesterday and it must have been graded recently because there weren't any potholes or washboards. Didn't catch any kokanee.

Good to meet you Fish4kok. You are the first member that I have met. KokaneeJoe, We were the ones that caught 17. We caught many of them before 9:00 am. We were still hooking some the rest of the day but we couldn't land most of them. I didn't catch anything deeper than 13 ft. My friend caught...

I talked to someone about 5:00 up at the outhouse. Was that you fish4kok? I have a 14 ft Smokercraft with a Johnson 15 hp motor. I also have a red pickup.

I have been using a Walker clamp-on downrigger for several years without any problems. I would definitely look into either buying or making a shuttle hawk. They are easy to make and I have used them without too much problems down to 65 ft. It is very nice not having to crank up the weight all...

Shuttlehawks I am the type of person that has a hard time buying something if I can figure out how to make it. It is easy enough to make ones that work well for a fraction of the cost. I have made mine with a swivel in the front that clips to the downrigger line so there isn't any worry about...

Lucky Peak kokanee I have only caught a few this year but something that I noticed which I thought was unusual is that when I cleaned them they had nothing in their stomach. They still had some fat but that was it. Has anyone else noticed this? Usually their bellies are completely full this...

We caught them anywhere from 40-70 ft back with a 1 oz. weight on the long-line and 15 to 30 ft deep on the downriggers. Friday evening I was fishing 15 ft and my wife was at 30 and we both caught fish.

My wife and I fished Friday afternoon and Saturday. Both days it took a while to find the fish but when we did we had some luck. We ended up catching 13 on Friday and 15 on Saturday.

Two of us caught 10 kokanee yesterday and lost many more. They were all caught 13 ft or less. I use a spinning reel when I am longlining. I will use anywhere from a spit shot to a three oz. weight depending on how deep I am trying to go. To be able to go out the same distance each time I just...

I went out on Thursday and Friday afternoon. On Thursday I hooked about 10 but only landed 3. On Friday I managed to catch my limit. I caught my last three in about 5 minutes.

I was up by Spring Shores the last three days. Thursday after work 1 person 1 limit. Friday after work 2 people 2 limits. Saturday morning 2 people, I caught my limit and the other guy only caught 2 but he had to leave early. All in all not a bad week.

I looked in all the craft stores to come up with something to tie them on. I also thought of WD-40 tubes but how to get them. I went to Home Depot and they actually took one off a can for me to try. Then they thought of their coffee straws and went and got some some for me from where they make...

I tie mine on coffee straws.
