- Опубліковано 30 вер 2024
- Kokanee fishing has quickly grown in it's popularity here in the Northwest. It is one of my favorite things to look forward to in the spring. Fast action, lots of fish and they are so tasty.
Getting Geared up to fish for Kokanee doesn't have to break the bank. You can get a very affordable setup for close to $60. Take a look at this video as I break down the gear I would fish on a kokanee budget.
Gear shown in the video:
-Eagle Claw Featherlight 8ft Kokanee Rod
-Abu Garcia Black Max Reel
-10lb Izor line for main line
-Dodgers: Rocky Mountain tackle, Dick Nite Spoons, and Gull's Custom
-Lures: Spinners (Skagit Tackle, Gamakatsu, Mack's Lure, Rocky Mountain Tackle, Wicked Lures)
-Squids (Crappie Tubes, Hoochie King, Ricky Mountain Tackle, Olympic Tackle)
-Scents: AN Sporting Scent Stick
-Baits: White Shoepeg Corn, Berkley Maggots
I love the eagle claw kokanee rods. I've landed a steelhead plant in my local lake recently and it did great. Does well with lead droppers also.
Awesome!!! Thanks for watching and the support
Is it at all possible to fish for Kokanee from shore in WA?
There definitely can be times of the year off a deeper dock fishing jigs or float with bait that you could find surfacing schools. Really depends on the lake
@@HolyMolyOutdoors Interesting. What time of the year generally? Am I correct in assuming it depends on the lake?
Good info for beginners who may not want to make a big investment up front, but for the long haul on a budget nothing beats tying you own lures. I take screen shots off UA-cam then head out to the shop....
I love your videos. Could you post a video on how to use electronics to find kokanee? What do they look like on the sonar? Thanks man
Can i do basic bank fishing with this rod?
It is possible yes but not the best as the rod will be very flimsy as it is made to troll with
Very informative video. I live in Everett and have started fishing Stevens quite a bit.
Thanks for watching. Steven's is a fun lake
Another great video! Have learned a ton from all of them. Keep up the great work!
Any suggestions if you're bank fishing?
FDTHNG thanks for the comment. Kokanee fishing from shore can be tough. Most places it is not deep enough to get them close to shore.
Holy Moly Outdoors yeah me and my buddy found that out this weekend. Tried every set up we had and didn't catch anything but a sun burn haha
Riffe lake has good landlocked salmon fishing from the bank by the dam
that's very good info ..I have 2 of those claws and I fish them with my ninjas and they work just fine.
King Cronic thanks for watching! I agree they are a great rod for the price point. Good back ups to my velocity if needed
great video!
So no downriggers. How many oz lead can a featherlight take? I am looking of using up to 4oz cannonball.
That is a very good question. The eagle claw kokanee rod is very parabolic and I imagine 4oz is going to take all the flex from the rod.i would recommend a rod with a little more back bone like a Velocity ninja or samurai that can handle the heavier droppers
Hey, i recognize you from ball back in high school. we pitched against eachother in districts. Im from sedro-woolley. FYI, Im fishin kokanee at lake roosevelt next month. good video
Brandon Amundson yeah man I remember. Good times!
Right on! I hope to get over there at some point as well. Should get better once the lake fills in. Thanks man!
What lb test did you use on the mainline?
I like running 12lb izorline for my mainline
@@HolyMolyOutdoors do you have preference for color?
For line color, I like the moss green
@@HolyMolyOutdoors perfect thanks!
