Do you like these longer episodes?
I am definitely starting to think this is the year of the Kokanee.
I just got back last night from a 8 day 5 lake trip with plenty of exciting footage to edit.
For a sneak peak check out NorthwestCatch on ➡️➡️➡️➡️ Instagram and TikTok. ⬅️⬅️⬅️⬅️⬅️
Thanks so much for Watching

Just also wanted to say I learned several things from your video about how to stay better organized, the wraps you had on your dodgers during travel, your tool kit on the transom for pulling hooks, bait board by the motor. You definitely know your stuff. Thanks for sharing with us your stuff.
Thanks so much for the kind words and thanks for watching.
My family grew up on Summit Lake. My dad grew up on that water in the 60s and I did in the 90s. We had a house about in the middle. Moved away in 2002. I miss that lake so much. Saw my house at the 17:10 mark
How cool is that. Thanks for watching
Love that lake
Wow, you were busy that day and cool video thanks again
Thank you. Ya super fun day. I’m so glad to see so many lakes this year with healthy Big Kokanee
My 9yo son and i tried kokanee fishing for the first time today. Only caught a SM Bass. I had no idea bass would be 60 ft down but at least we didn't go home empty.
That is awesome!
A freinds grandparents had a cabin near the ramp years ago, used to fish it alot.
How cool. The cabins have all turned into big houses now.
Love that lake been fishing it for years
Awesome!
Excellent video, looks like you know what you're doing! Western WA is my home also.
I especially appreciate you showing the downrigger setup. I understand what they do and how they do it, I just had never actually watched the process of attaching the line, dropping to depth, etc. Thanks for not editing that out.
Thank you so much. I left those details in because it was not that long ago I was looking for videos showing what I’m doing now. I am still learning everyday. Some days I may look like I know what I’m doing but most I’m scratching my head. Thanks again.
Sweet. Nothing wrong with those kokes at all. That is a great lake. I've never fished it, but did some canoeing there a long time ago. Glad to see the kokes are alive and well in there!
Ya super healthy Kokanee. This is the year of the Kokanee. I’m really hoping the heat wave did not hurt the future. This lake is worth the trip this year
Nice day on the water!
It sure is
Got her dialed in.Thanks for not mentioning this lake,one of my favorite.
Looks like mineral lake
Nope it starts with a s
I no where this is. Looks like me and the boys got a new lake we need to hit soon. Fish on!
There are nice ones in this lake! I've been out this year and caught some big ones
I’m new to Kokanee fishing, and live on the west side. Sure wish I knew which lake that was 🤣
Been out a few times at my local lake and still haven’t gotten a Koke yet. Great content, got yourself a new sub.
May your hands smell like bait and your lines stay tight 🤘🏻
Thanks so much Jesse. The fish finder is your friend. Go check out the corn recipe I posted a few months back.
GPS coordinates are on the fish finder at 7:01
Awesome video
@@jameshill2412 thanks James
I grew up fishing at lake when I was a kid. My parents had a cabin there at the time I love that lake I miss it now I’m in my 70s what kind of net is that you are using
This lake is Rich in History. I have heard so many stories from my friend Dave Vedder. His best friend had a cabin on the lake. Rollie? I think. The Net is a hodgepodge garden rake handle with a cheap frabil metal loop with a replacement all rubber basket from Amazon. Thanks for watching Rick.
For me (i.e. I don't know about other viewers) videos of 10-minutes or more are a commitment. When the subject is fishing for salmonids (not so much other species), or crabbing, clamming, shrimping, AND I know the source makes enjoyable, interesting, entertaining, and, importantly, informative stuff, viewing time is not an issue. I'll either watch in the moment if I can, bookmark, or subscibe. I like your videos. Nuff said.
Wow thanks Rick.
Wondering if you are happy with your Scotty down riggers? Thinking of picking up a couple. You had a great day on the water!
100% happy. One upgrade I would do right away is take the wire off and put Scotty braid on.
Curious what letting the main down on the stick does?
Keeps the motor from bouncing on the trim motor and transom while going down the road.
You can buy what’s called a transom saver. I choose to use a piece of soft wood
When you have a limit of 1 foot blue backs you don't need any advise or criticism. The longer format is great viewing. Scenery was great, did not look like especially big lake to narrow down the catch zones. Seems like the thermocline scene is making the Summer swap. Be interesting to see it in August.
Thanks so much. Definitely interesting to see what happens in August. Washington is on fire this year with healthy Kokanee.
My partner and I pulled half dozen limits from that same lake this year. Great size. Did you notice the gill parasites when you went?
That is so good to here. Well not the parasites but the limits. I did not notice them. So glad to see this fishery popping again. I’m definitely excited for 2022
If you would please name the lakes you go too. Would be fun to try them!
Try Summit lake.
Hey what kind of rods are you using in this video, thanks for sharing
Velocity samurai and ninjas. I think they are doing a online show price right now. Very good rods for the money.
Great well made what lake were you at I missed that part
Summit. I always put the location in my videos. I don’t always say it but it’s there. This video it was on the gps screen
Can you make a video how to brine your corn

West side lakes special rules (Summit Lake - Thurston co.) size/daily limit. I thought it should be limit 5 Kokanee. Maybe i am wrong. You caught 10 Kokanee. All the lake Kokanee limit 10 ?? Thanks
Yes 10 not 5
I LOVE kokanee, but after years of dinks, I prefer Lake Roosevelt where they're measured by the pound rather than the inch. Those are nice fish though, don't get me wrong......
How come you never say or show the name of the lake are you afraid of competition?
I do in every video. I can tell by your comment you didn’t watch start to finish
Saw your video on Summit lake, what brand is that Gold reel, looking for a digital line counter, any info. would be great, Thanks G. Miller
Hey Garth. That is a daiwa Accudepth icv 15 low pro
@@NorthwestCatch thank you
Great informative video. Hard to believe you're fishing alone. Before I bought a boat I would pay my dues to fish with buddies and co-workers that already owned them. First boat I fished out of after moving to WA state was a Lavro up on the Skykhomish and the second was an Arima in Elliot Bay. Coming from a background that didn't involve much angling, living in the Seattle area changed that in a hurry.
Lavro is another great boat builder. I love hearing these stories. We live in a great place with so many great opportunities. Thanks for the comment and tuning in Troy.
What Lake is this?
Summit near Olympia
Why don't you mention the lake your at???
Thanks for watching Greg. 7:01
At 1st glance it looked familiar. Been there a few times but never with a downrigger. Started with a Dr last yr and it's made a world of difference
Where are you located
Gig Harbor
@@NorthwestCatchI'm in puyallup
Would like to see the fish knocked out and bleed before tossing them in the cooler...
When I do get a sec I reach in the bag and pop a gills with my finger. Always bled by the time I get back to the dock.
