I got to the lake bout 7am but didn’t start fishing until just before 8. I tried to get my big motor to start but it refused.
The kicker did its job and I trolled for around 3 hours stopping at 11am. The sun was hot today…even if it only got to mid 70’s it was hot on my back! The water temp was 58-59.
End result was 1 trout, 1 kokanee in the boat. Scented corn on the hooks of Wannafish A Lure Orange and Gold attached to a Dick Nite Orange/copper tractor tread Dodger. The trout came on a Arrowflash Gold dodger with a prototype lure. Several other strikes. There were several schools that looked like kokanee but they were… Great footage on video to see.

Thanks for the video(s). Interesting how many fish are interested, but just won't commit. Gives me some confidence the fish might just be there, oh so close, when I am trying for them. I often think I must be fishing where they aint! Steve

Thank you. If you are watching where you are going one may have nipped your bait away. So check it often.

Toni - Much as I love your videos, gotta think that camera is scaring some of those larger Koks away. They seem to stop short of the lure a lot. Are you trolling a non-camera rig in tandem as well We were off the lake in 2 hrs this AM.

Yes, smokey34 I have wondered if it turns away fish. Yes, I have had one with non camera in the past. I think I had about the same percentage of caught, camera vs. no camera. Enough that I bought another camera to use on both lines. Both cameras have attracted attention of a few kokes that came right up to the camera. I now have tape (like on dodgers) on both cameras. This seems to help.
When I said scented corn I meant it. I think they got a whiff of it and it was too strong...until later. When I made it it was strong but I thought oh well.
I would really like to read your report smokey34 for 5-13-17.
