Fished porcupine today. Put 22 kokes in the boat (had 2 kokanee rookies) used various dodgers and srg koko nitro spinners. Lost almost as many fish being the boat

thanks petty, been wondering about that pond.
What depth did you find the kokes in? I have been struggling to find fish there this year. I have never had this hard of a time before. Not sure if there is something I am doing wrong, or if my boat is going too fast (i dont think so. i'm at a bout 1.8-2.1 mph).
I really want to get my 2 and 4 year olds on some fish before the summer is over.....
Hi Rooster, hey I think your a little fast at 1.8-2.1 mph. We are usually at about 1.5- 1.7 mph in places like the Pig. JMHO.
20-40ft. 1.3 to 1.5mph
Looks like I need to slow it down a little bit..... Might have to get a sea anchor rigged up. I'm going as slow as I can.
Thanks for the help!!
Yes . . . you . . . do - need to slow down a bit. I always troll at about 1.5 for kokanee no matter which body of water I'm on.Quote:

Thanks for the help guys!

You might want to consider using 2 buckets - one on either side of the boat and up near the bow - which will give you even slower speeds and control, will not create an interference with your rigger/fishing lines, and will keep the boat on a straight troll line without having to correct with the motor.
