@kgraham64kg try it! You might be able to order Mack's wiggle bills online and hoochies come in many sizes and colors.

I like to use 3 inch heavy buzz bombs and 4 inch buzz bombs. Without downriggers, I have tried long lining a heavy dodger and done well, but I prefer jigging for kokanee. Here's one of a few videos I made. ua-cam.com/video/zR9TOuDp4Kw/v-deo.htmlsi=es1ykJ-hGSm0qPVi

@@FougereFamilyAdventures awesome! i’m mostly a salmon angler but excited to do some jigging off a tiny boat for kokanee and lakers :)

@massi628 good luck when you get out there!

@@FougereFamilyAdventures thanks again!

@@massi628 anytime!

Not yet. I haven't noticed or played with the settings on the Garmin Striker 4 to try and find the thermocline because normally I can mark fish and I target those at depth.

Do you have the fish symbol setting turned on. If so, I would turn that off. I prefer to see only signature returns on the fish finder so I can interpret the readings myself. For kokanee fishing at 20ft, the setback varies between 75 ft and 125 ft on average. I'd start with a 75 ft setback and work back from there if not getting a bite.

You're welcome. I'm glad you like it

This might work in the area of the country that you live in, but here in British Columbia we are not allowed to have live fish in our possession. We must dispatch the fish we intended to keep and keeping them on ice is the best way to keep them fresh until we get home.

@@FougereFamilyAdventures thank you, I edited my comment to mention that it's advisable to check the local laws where one plans to fish.

That's great. It's always good to remember to follow your local fishing regulations.

If I remember right, Ruth Lake lodge had campsites, but it's been a while since I've been there. If you're looking for a place for the 5th wheel and a lake that is relatively small for a belly boat, give Russ and Michelle a call at Moosehaven Resort on Hathaway Lake. It's by far one of my favorite resorts in the Cariboo.

I'm glad you like it and that it will help you. There are lots of guys doing this in my area. It's a great way to store your fish finder, batteries and gear. You can even add USB chargers and glow cups as an add on. One thing I would do differently next time is consider some foam padding inside the case (but not too much as to take away storage space). Just use enough to protect the Garmin Striker 4 screen ad mine has has cracked on the edges.

I'm glad you liked it. This is my fish finder tackle box video. I love this way of mounting the Gsrmin, because it keeps it waterproof for ice fishing. ua-cam.com/video/WgJtsNb08tI/v-deo.htmlsi=hc0HDYlkH2o0Jila

@@renesadventures829 I hope you like it and that it helps you.

Let what run dry?

No. I would love to, but I've never seen any advertised in my area. Who does them?

They are amazing aren't they?

Austin shut the camera off, but I thought there was still some good conversation about my first experience so I left the audio on. I'll definitely be doing a few more bear spray videos in the future tp help myself and others learn.

Good information, Larry. Do you know where to recycle an unused can of bear spray? I haven't really given it any thought until I made this video.

I tied it straight to my mainline. I usually put one or 2 pieces of my scented corn or mealworms on it to help entice a strike, but they will hit it bare hook as well.

@@FougereFamilyAdventures Thank you!! I’m new to Kokanee fishing, and this lure is going to be a treat to try. Tight lines and thanks for your videos!

I'm glad you like my videos. Good luck when you get out there.

I'm glad you like it. I will continue making content that helps others. Stay tuned to my channel for more videos coming soon.

No. The Garmin Striker 4 is not connected to the motor. As far as I know, it does not record the time it is on either.

@@FougereFamilyAdventures thanks !

Oh wow! I've never heard of that. Yikes! Ice and a cooler should help that problem.

@@FougereFamilyAdventures I was very confused about how to feel for the day. When I pulled up the stringer, a large snapper about the size of my chest was attached - I thought it was a log until the claws came out of the water. In hindsight it was amazing. I'm about to start kayak fishing and I'm thinking about trying a soft cooler like one of those hot/cold bags at Walmart. Thank you so much for the inspiration!!

Soft coolers work too. They make soft cooler fish bags and I've heard they work really well keeping your fish cold. My only concern with a soft cooler has been if they clean well. Maybe one day I'll try one to see what I think.

I do use my downrigger rod holders, but only when I'm double stacking my lines. With my boat set up, I find it easier to use Scotty oar lock mounts and use a rod holder with them. This way, the rods are easier to access for everyone on the boat, especially my kids. Check out my double stacking video to see the Scotty downrigger rod holders in action. Here's the video. You can also watch more videos on my channel to see how my boat is set up ua-cam.com/video/Za6_CusC3s0/v-deo.htmlsi=KK32KRvJ3KmbWgWG

⁠@@FougereFamilyAdventures Thank you so much for your tips and info! I will check your boat set up from your link! Love your video contents from your channel!❤

@@MrBento12345 I'm glad you like it. I enjoy sharing my experiences with everyone.

I am not a fan of the taste of the fish in Dragon. As you mention, they can be muddy tasting most of the year. This is just my personal opinion. As for long downrigger clips, I have tried this. In fact, they were too long where I was worried about tangling in my motor. I thought the same thing about hanging the clip inside the boat. I thought about making a retrieving stick, but never got around to it. Maybe this is something I'll try soon.

@@FougereFamilyAdventures with a 3 ft clip line you won't get near your motor , I use 4 ft in my 12 ft Lund and never had a problem. they always trail straight back. To make the stick all you need is a 1 in piece of dowel 3 ft long or similar and a screw. Not rocket science.

I agree. The long release clips I made were waaayyy too long. 🤣

It really was. I'm glad you liked it.

The net I'm using is an Ego slide net. I love it. Here's my review video on it: ua-cam.com/video/FTuFSpJHJhw/v-deo.htmlsi=zVae6MJgEDBMFx6d

This was in the summer time. Depths range depending on the water temperature and time of the day. Start with 60-80ft and work +/- on either side of these depths.

We fish all different depths depending on the time of the year. We mark most fish around 60 and 80ft, but have also caught fish in as shallow as 40ft and as deep as 200ft. In this video, we were fishing the bottom.

@@FougereFamilyAdventures thank you

@@TigerShark2700 you're welcome. Good luck out there.

We prefer eating kokanee. Growing up on the coast, I ate a lot of salmon. I like trout when it's cooked over a camp fire with some bread and butter, but other than that, I would choose kokanee most days if I had a choice. That being said, I've been thinking about trying some trout from a variety of lakes in the area this year. I'm curious to learn if there's a difference between the taste between rainbows from different lakes (shallow versus deep).

Thanks. I'm glad you liked it. I love fishing and I love writing about it, talking about it and filming it.

@@FougereFamilyAdventures I'm addicted myself you going make the fathers day derby this year on babine ?

@@KirkB_ not this year. That would be fun, but I have other plans in the works.

@@FougereFamilyAdventures one day perhaps enjoy your summer

@@KirkB_ will do. You too

I'm glad you liked it. Paulina Peak and Mack's Lure make some great stuff. I would love a bow mounted motor one day on any sized boat I have. I've been getting into jigging for multiple species and really like it. A bow mounted motor with anchor lock would be amazing. It would also be amazing for trolling in the wind giving me more time to focus on fishing.

It was a great day! 😁

I like to keep the fish in my catch and release net to prevent them from touching the dock surface. Good observation. As anglers, we should always try our best to protect the fish if we are releasing them. More often than not, when we are catch and release fishing, we don't even bring the fish into our boat (or the dock). We usually release them from the net and into the water. Gear can out fish fly fishing techniques on this lakes at times (not always). As you know, we love gear fishing.

Thanks for tuning in. We love fishing. Wish I could fish for bass and pike. Happy fishing!

It was a lot of fun. We have 3 sizes of spoons in copper and gold. We caught fish on all of them, with the middle size being the most productive. I believe the sizes we have are 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2oz. I'll be sure to check next time we go fishing.

This dock is at the public boat launch on Quesnel Hydraulic rd.

Thank you

@@fernandoignacio5359 you're welcome. Anytime.

It was. This dock will give people without a boat an opportunity to catch some nice fish. We were out there this afternoon, and it also is a place for people to meet others. It feels like a community.

@@FougereFamilyAdventures a fun community dock. Sounds like the place to be. Who's bringing the coffee next time 😁

It was great fishing and yes, they are the ones pushing to go fishing on the dock. There's something special about fishing from a dock. And yes, they're growing. I think Ethan is already taller than me.

It was repaired enough to launch again.

@@FougereFamilyAdventures Thanks great video.

Glad you liked it. The dock will get used a lot I'm sure.

I'm glad you liked it

Good information. I might try circle hooks again. My thoughts are that the hooks don't have enough time to "settings the fishes mouth when they strike my lure on the retrieve. I think they would still be great if fishing trout on bait, but they do not seem effective when casting spoons.

@@FougereFamilyAdventures yeah I primarily use circle hooks exclusively because I'm a live bait and cut bait fisherman so I've been using circle hooks for years mainly for catch and release of trophy size fish. One suggestion for you if you're going after trout with a circle hook is a good setup is a berkley powerbait power egg floating magnum with garlic scent and a size 4 circle hook. And I recommend a size 4 circle hook for trout because with circle hooks you actually want the gap to be a little bigger than you would with a traditional J hook so that it sets in the corner of the mouth perfectly with the shank of the hook against the jawline of the fish. A general rule is whatever size you use with J hooks go one size up with circle hooks so for like trout the biggest I'll go with a J hook is size 6 so with a circle hook I use a size 4. Also another pro tip is wait 5 full seconds after the rod tip bends before you even lift up the rod what I do is I count in my mind 1/100 2/100 3/100 4/100 5/100 and then I lift up the rod slowly and start reeling. And I get a perfect hook set every time I do that, the reason for waiting 5 full seconds is so that it gives the fish time to get fully hooked. And you don't have to worry about fish getting unhooked with circle hooks once they're hooked they're hooked until you unhook them. That's why they use them on trotlines in rivers because they can get hooked one day and you can come back the next day and harvest them and not have to worry about them getting away.

@@TheIconicFisherman good advice. I'll be sure to try this next time I'm fishing bait for trout.

This was June/July

This was on Ten Mile Lake and the depths were between 30 and 40ft. June to August can be some of the best months for jigging.

I caught some nice ones that trip for sure. Williston is still on my "to do" list. I hope to fish there in the next couple years. What depths did you like targeting lake trout on Williston?

@@FougereFamilyAdventures Spring shallows shelfs around 40-60 feet mostly trolling summer down more 120-200s down rigging never tried any jigging williston bottom is loaded with debris. If you do head up there watch for submerged logs lake is full of timber.

Thanks. I'll be sure to try my best to member that when I go.

This is my fish finder tackle box. It holds 2 batteries. My fish finder and all the tackle I need. Of course I usually bring a separate tackle box as well (can't have too much gear to try. These boxes are used by many anglers. You can add charging ports to them and glow cups, but mine is a basic set up that I made myself. You can also buy power boxes. Here's the video I made on my fish finder box you see in my videos. It's great because I can use it on my boat or while ice fishing. I just use different transducers. ua-cam.com/video/WgJtsNb08tI/v-deo.htmlsi=PoPIESWUPBsv1VGk

@@FougereFamilyAdventures many thanks again mate.

I have a 14ft WC and love it.

I'm glad you like the videos. I like fly fishing, but I also enjoy using gear to catch trout. Fishing can always be as complicated or as simple as an angler chooses. I love my net too. Here's my review on the net I use: ua-cam.com/video/FTuFSpJHJhw/v-deo.htmlsi=n-R76-8uR_eDQ84d

The net I have is an ego slider net. I bought money from Whole Sale Sports many years ago. I think Cabelas carries them. And I think I saw them in Salmon Arm at Westside Stores a few years ago. You can also order off the Ego website. Here's my review on the net. I love it! ua-cam.com/video/FTuFSpJHJhw/v-deo.htmlsi=n-R76-8uR_eDQ84d

We went in August. I've heard it can be good from May until September.
