Title: Kokanee Jigging
Post by: Keta on June 01, 2017, 04:23:33 AM
I like learning new ways to catch fish, on Monday evening and Tuesday I learned to jig for kokanee from a pro.  We ended up with 100 fish. Trolling has been slow.

   It's good to have an extra feather in one's hat...and when it produces 100 feesh it's great!
  Way ta go Lee!  8)

Okay, I'll bite... how do you jig for Kokanee? Are you talking mini-jigs or ?

We used 1/4 and 1/2 ounce Gibbs Minnows, mini iron.  Cast to jumpers, marked fish or blind cast, let drop 5-20 feet, 6-8 inch twitch and 1-2 cranks on the reel, drop 1 second, twitch, reel, drop, twitch, reel, drop.

That's just how we jig for stripers on the Delta and the Feather... but not for a hundred!

But a couple decent stripers would outweigh 100 8" Kokanee!

They won't be tasting the same, though. ;)

Nod, nod, wink, wink, he said knowingly. ;D

Don't Underestimate the power of Lee.
The man does good work, pictures or not. ;)
