I'm still using the old hand auger, I just keep it sharp with my trusty file. I also don't have a fish finder. But, even without the nice equipment I've limited out, or nearly limited out the majority of my trips up there. It's mainly because I've done what I said in my last post.
I've been using some flashy lures with pink or bright red on them. They all have treble hooks on them, I find it makes it much easier to hook them. I tip them with a meal worm to start, but once the feeding frenzy starts you don't need to waste your time re-baiting. They'll hit a bare lure. I put a lot of action on the lures, jigging them pretty consistently, it's a big vertical jig, atleast 2-4 feet. That's how I do it. From what I've experienced and seen, the bright pink or reds do the best as far as color goes.
Make friends on the ice, and if you can fish with a group of people, you should get into them.
The average Kokanee at Ririe is anywhere from 8-12, atleast the ones I've caught. They are great to eat. Hope you get into 'em. I think I'll be out there Saturday. I'll come say hi if i see you.
