Post by: BottomDweller on Jan 24, 2007, 11:57 AM

 ???hey, i'm trying to figure out how to jig up kokanee in this lake that's just filled with 'em.  hellsangler, i saw your pic on "show us what you look like" thread; did you have to troll to get into that koke?  have you ever iced 'em before?  thanks

Thru the ice I have caught them on pink rat finkies but I hear it is better to have a flasher (spoon) above the rat finkie to lure them in and sometimes they like lots of action to get them in the mood to bite . I'm better trolling or jigging them from shore in the spawn time .

No that is a Maniac Reaper design for bass in the pic , but the kokes took a liken to it that day . Somedays they are real aggressive and other days they have lockjaw . Thru the ice I catch them on rat finkies .  ;)2

The guy that made the reapers quit making that style but he makes one called a Cut'r bugs now that works great thru the ice too . Tail is designed to split for more action . This is a local soft bait manufacturer . He is great to order from and will do custom colors if you request them . If you want to target kokes thru the ice look for them close to the top of the ice . Pink Rat Finkee with glow head my favorite . Now I want a big mac like yours this year thru the ice .
