    With the 'Blade bait" version of the Sonic BaitFish, it vibrates (rapid side-to-side, windshield wiper-type action) on the lift and fall. Good question and an important one! Thanks...Pete

    I fish the Sonic baitFish (SBF) exactly the opposite of the "loose line" concept with the Buzz Bomb. The SBF can be fished so many different ways. One of my favorites is "dead-sticking". After the...

    Vibrating metal jig for negative kokanee

    There have been days, especially with heavy holiday boat/jet ski traffic, where only a vibrating metal jig would trigger the kokanee to bite. One of the very best kokanee lure manufacturers is...

    Here's a photo of kokanee caught three different ways on the same jig. The fish on the left was caught on the "blade bait" version where the line is attached to the top of the back...unbelievable...

    Lake Sutherland kokanee

    I fished Lake Sutherland last Sunday and it was "jet skis from hell"! The kokanee were spooked and lying low. The only technique that really resulted in catching kokanee is a new prototype hybrid...
  11. Improving kokanee catches

    Calm water is best for vertical jigging. Anywhere I fish, the straighter the line, the better the catching. This late in the season, the fish are concentrating near their spawning tributaries and...

    With those koke marks you describe, get rid of the trolling hardware and vertical jig Crippled Herrings or Kandlefish in the 1/2 & 3/4oz sizes, if you have a calm drift. Hot pink is a good start. ...
