this is what I do
I think I catch as many kokes as any one or maybe more
I fue years ago I changed the way I did this and my catch rate went up
I put 4 camera's down to study this
one camera I have I put it on the downrigger ball and can see it live on a laptop.
the other 3 go by the dodger
I use to have 4 PC so in my house I could watch all 4 camers at the same time
so I could see what was going on with the Kokanee.
I get some Tangles a lot of the Tangles come when you hook in to a wild fish and he gets into the other lines if you are good at guiding the fish you will get less Tangles.
I have 4 down riggers sometimes I have stacked two so have 6 lines out I can handle this but I need 3 in the boat.
this part only works this time of year when you have a 52 deg. water temp column.
my front down riggers are deeper than my back two right side set back 20' Left side set back 15'
back down riggers are 5 to 10' higher than the back and a longer set back
right side set back 30' left side set back 25'
if you have your set back 5' and you see fish deeper on you fish finder you don't have time to drop the ball where as if you have a longer set back you have time to go down and get them ( this happens to me a lot.)
