So I'm attempting to go fishing for Kokanee for the first time this weekend and could use all your advice.
This is my current setup:
- 17' runabout boat
- 115 Main engine (won't be using)
- 8HP kicker (will use to troll)
- Two regular fishing rods (the spool kind)
- Crappy old fish finder
My Plan:
I'm hoping I can use the mini dipsy diver to get down to the depth since I don't have downriggers
I will troll around the lake at low low speeds at around 8:30AM
I will call it quits around 11AM
My Rods Setup (HELP) - Which one do you think is right or am I all wrong?
Reel -> Dipsy diver -> shock absorbing rubber thingy <- 2ft spacer line? -> Dodger <- 12 inches of line -> Lure
Reel -> Dipsy diver -> shock absorbing rubber thingy <- 24-48 inches of line -> Lure
Lure Ideas:
- White shoe peg corn marinated in ansie oil
- Kokanee Killer Spooner
- Random jigs/trollers
My Questions:
- What hooks should I use?
- Should I do dipsy diver or do jigging/bottom fishing?
- What sized dodge should I use? Or do I even need one?
- How much time should I wait between trying a different dodger/bait setup?
- Any other advice or recommendations?
I will be totally happy if me and my bro could catch just one fish!! This is our 1st time fishing in 10 years! Many thanks in advance!!
