First, my sonar screen will show me where the kokanee are located in the water column.
I only start to fish after I locate the fish marks on my sonar screen. But, it is not consistent in showing me the zig-zag pattern of my Sonic BaitFish™ (SBF) falling in the water column. That’s okay as long as I can see the fish mark on the screen.
Secondly, whatever casting or spinning reel I use, I am 99 percent assured that my presentation will be at the same level of that fish mark.
That’s because I know how much line comes off every reel that I fish from my techniques above! Paying attention to the exact depth of where the fish are located is critical in my success.
This works because I stay “attached” to those fish marks on my sonar screen instead of passing through and beyond them, as would be the case with casting or trolling.
