I have mixed feelings about whether to continue to troll or stop the forward motion of my boat when I hook up with a fish . On the pro side : I think a person would have a better chance of keeping a Kokanee on if you were not pulling it against the movement of the boat , especially with their...

Has anyone used Kahle hooks and what kind of results have you had ? A local sporting goods salesmen mentioned to me that kokanee fishermen use them and have improved their hookup ratio with this soft mouthed fish .

I tried a number of times to fine tune the alarms and played with the adjustment screw to the point where it was as loose as it would go . I still couldn 't get the alarm to go off when a fish bit . Maybe when the kokanee get more aggressive they will pull down hard enough to set them off . The...

I went up to Merwin Sun and tried out my First Alert Rod Alarms . I couldn 't get them to go off when I had a Kokanee bite or a fish was on the line . The bite is "to light" even when I dialed up the sensitivity on the alarm . I went through about 5 take different bites and nothing . They 're a...

Rod Alarms For Kokanee fishng Goggle Firststrike Rod Alarms . You can get all the information you need on the alarms . They even have a youtube demo . When I hooked them up to my Kokanee rods and pulled down to simulate a Kokanee biting they sounded like a bird chirping . Good luck if anyone...

I went today and bought a couple of rod alarms for kokanee fishing at the NW Sportsmen Show . The alarms are sensitive enough so you can hear them go off when I have simulated a kokanee bite (trying them out) attached to my Scotty downriggers in my garage . I believe a person needs Scotty rod...

Cabelas was discontinuing this model.I bought it before Xmas .

Kokanee alarms I have solved my problem . I have Scotty Downriggers and my rod holders are Scotty so they are compatible with each other . I already have alarms mounted on my rod holders . I have simulated a kokanee bite and the alarm will work fine .

I have 2 ultra light spinning rods that I have been using for about 5 yrs now and love them . I am presently looking for an inexpensive fishing alarm to use with them in conjunction with my downriggers . I would like something so I don 't have to visually monitor the rods all the time . I have...

I just purchased a Hummingbird 788ci combo for $479.00 on sale from a leading retailer . It sells orginally for 649.00 . It 's an excellent buy for under $500 .

Fuel Costs My plan this year is to spend at least two days on my favorite kok lake with what is happened with gas prices . I have had a friend build me two beds for my boat which work just great after removing the seats out . The wife and I will anchor in a quiet place & sleep on the water . I...

Thurs. August 19 th I fished the lake yesterday with the wife and caught 8 koks . It was sure a different day from the the recent reports . Low pressure sometimes causes the bite to slow down after high pressure has been with us for a while . We had to work for the fish that were landed...

Tues. July 6 TH The wife & I fished Merwin today and caught 4 nice Koks and one about 10 " . We were using smily blades , green and silver , with home made dark green body wedding rings . One of our dodgers was a blue UV and the others were watermelon . The both of us never really got on the...

Merwin 6-8-10 Fished the lake today with No Fishin Just Wishin and a friend of his from 7:30 am until about 3 . We picked up 9 nice size koks , lost a # , and caught more trash fish then I want to count . The bite was generallly slow throughout the day and the 3 of us never really got into them...

Merwin 5/15 We fished the lake from about 7 am today to 4 pm. and caught 6 koks and a trout . It was VERY slow compared to the last time I was there . My friend , myself , and his 2 boys started out around the corner from the dock and trolled half way down to Wood Village with only one bite ...
