Planning for a 2024 first time Baker Sockeye trip. What areas of the rather long lake can you recommend? Noisy Creek? Shannon Creek? Anything down south?
A couple questions if you don’t mind. Just recently got an autopilot sportsman’s, no fish finder or downriggers set up yet, how important is the fish finder and would droppers work?
droppers definitely work fine. Fish finder is pretty important for speed as you need to stay between .8 -1.0 mph, and the fish can be at different depth day to day, and will usually move down as the sun gets higher. a gps speedometer on your phone would work for speed if it doesnt require cell service, and can try asking others on the water the depth they are finding fish. Depth/fish finder will greatly improve your odds. plus there are some areas that are 150ft but quickly bottom will be 30ft.
Great video. I'll be there a bunch in my canoe setup. Out for three months with broken leg. This will be time well spent
What reels were you using? Thanks for the video!
one is a KastKing ReKon and the other a Okuma Magda
Morning

Video using braid were you using a bumper between the braid and dodger?

Noisey creek does hold the most fish. I know some do well down by the dam, and ive done well before between panorama point and swift creek
Great job! Such a fun adventure .
Fun morning indeed!
Great video, and thanks for all the advice!! I'll be up at Baker in a couple weeks, save some for me! =)
Awesome Josh!!! Loved the way you executed the double and great video!!!
Thanks Russ! it was a blast
You Da Man Josh!
it take da man to know da man!
Nice work! Wow I imagined opening day being packed, looks like you had a nice portion of the lake to yourself. I will be there this weekend.
I moved away from the fleet and still found plenty of fish
I bet parking gonna be a disaster next season 😪
A couple questions if you don’t mind.

Would it be possible to fish from the shore in any areas?
