prcrt how deep of water were you fishing in to catch those perch. The spot I normally fish for Kokanee is about 70' deep and there are fish constantly showing up on the fish finder at the bottom. I've tried and tried to catch one but can't ever get a bite out of them. I think they are probably suckers but maybe they are perch way down there. I know what you mean about the kokanee being hard to hook. I've out fished my dad about 5 to 1 and I think it is just our different jigging techniques. For Kokanee I like to lift my rod about 2 feet fairly fast and then let it fall, when it stops I wait about 2 seconds then give it a quick jerk. When a school is around I usually hook one after about 4 jigs doing this. Seems to work for me anyway, everybody has their own tricks.
