Another Berry report 6/23 - Mildog - 06-24-2021

Met up with a couple buddies one that wanted to try out his new boat and his set up for kokes. I was in my boat and we tag teamed around a bit . Started about 8 am I had my limit of 4 by about 9 and I lost 4 or 5 and I had two doubles In that short period of time, it was good action this morning for sure. I left a couple slabs swimming on long line release!! The big ones are a handful and lots of fun! I only caught 2 cutts and one 15 inch rainbow. The buddies couldn’t keep the cutts off. I had them tweak their set up and gear a bit and change a couple things thrhh th were doing. They ended up with 8 and figured they caught 30 cutts and a rainbow.
I think I know why they got so many cutts and I didn’t so will check it out next trip!
Fun day! Messed up on the pics not sure how to cut them out.. oh well.

Great report and pic, I fixed your pic for you. Do you mind sharing what you think they were doing wrong and what you had them change, to increase their koke catching?

RE: Another Berry report 6/23 - Mildog - 06-29-2021

Here’s my thoughts on what they did wrong. Fish seemed to agree. Once I had them switch things up they did better on kokes got less cutts.
They were using leaders twice as long as they should have, about 18” I had them shorten to 9”, I’m
Not saying you can’t catch fish with a longer leader, but action on the squid is less on the longer length leader. I think cutts like/can catch it easier and kokes seem to prefer more “action”. Also they were not maintaining speed well and were trolling a bit slow at times, again seemed like cutts liked that more and kokes liked it less.
Final thing they roamed randomly instead of staying in the “zone.”
When j is had them change things up their success increased.

That makes perfect sense, it is all in details on how to be successful when fishing.
