How to Jig for Kokanee on Open Water

[@silascheng6004]

Thanks for teaching me this technique.

[@FougereFamilyAdventures]

I'm glad you like it. I hope you are successful when you try it.

[@wynnsnfinsoutdoors957]

Might have to try this! Thanks Ben!

[@FougereFamilyAdventures]

You won't be disappointed. Jig fishing for kokanee is only going to get better as we get closer to spawning season

[@Unknownbrand]

Did I miss the Burbot video? Never thought to try these for Kokanee. That's awesome!

[@FougereFamilyAdventures]

I haven't made a burbot video yet. We spent this year learning how to catch burbot first. Maybe next year... I never thought about using them for kokanee either until last year. I hooked a kokanee with them while targetting lakers.

[@Unknownbrand]

@@FougereFamilyAdventures Awesome, can't wait for the Burbot videos! I guess it is called trout and pout spoon and well they're salmonids.

Have you tried using a dodger and a small jig or fly like ice fishing? I had pretty good luck with that last year jigging a dodger with a tungsten head bloodworm I tied. Cool to see they will go after the big stuff like buzz bombs. I will have to give that a try next time.

[@FougereFamilyAdventures]

I have tried my ice fishing gear, yes. It works, but I found I was not able to get down quick enough with a lighter presentation. Give it a try and you'll love using buzz bombs.

What size of Maruto hook would you put on a 5/8oz Big Nasty? Also it looked like a treble hook yes ?

[@FougereFamilyAdventures]

I'll have to check on that. It's been a while since I changed the hooks out. Yes, it was a treble hook.

[@blueabattoir]

Are treble hooks allowed in BC? I thought they were banned.

[@FougereFamilyAdventures]

Treble hooks are allowed depending on the lake you are fishing. Check the BC Freshwater fishing regulations for the rules and lake specific regulations.

[@bruced1429]

hey Ben , what is the approx landed cost here in BC , of these lures? I checked their web site and seems they average 6.00 US +

[@FougereFamilyAdventures]

If I remember right they are approximately $10 each maybe less.

[@Unknownbrand]

Shipping for me was like $50

[@FougereFamilyAdventures]

@@Unknownbrand did you order some? What city are you in?

[@Unknownbrand]

@@FougereFamilyAdventures Cariboo BC. I did order around $200 worth of them though.

[@FougereFamilyAdventures]

@@Unknownbrand nice. You're going to love them. How much did 200 of them weigh?

[@darnelltobar9726]

What lake are you fishing?

[@FougereFamilyAdventures]

This was Deka Lake.

[@silascheng6004]

How heavy is your jigs?

[@FougereFamilyAdventures]

I have a few different sizes, but I've been using my smaller jigs. I believe they are the 1 and 1/8oz jigs as seen in my product review video. Here's the video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpzZeqaCaZtkhqM

Nice jigging Ben!

[@FougereFamilyAdventures]

Thanks. It's a lot of fun.
