I have mentioned that I have a freezer that is almost vacant of triploids for the smoker. When my fishing friend James Lebow said he had some business to do in Omak, we planned to meet at the middle net pens, with hopes of getting a couple limits of these trout. We made a bee line to the upper net pens, which was a quick run in the Bob Feil Boats and Motors Smoker Craft powered by the Mercury 250. We approached the bottom end of the pens, and when the Garmin showed us lots of fish down deep, I deployed the Minn Kota and set it on Spot Lock. We both put chartreuse-colored Power Bait on our hooks with ½ -ounce sliding sinkers. My leaders were about three feet long, and that made a difference. I felt the bottom, reeled up a crank, and immediately hooked a fish. I was hooking fish so fast while James watched that I switched to a 1/8th marabou jig and caught a couple more. When James used my rod, that had a leader longer than his, he caught fish. The fish averaged about 3 or 4 pounds and are already smoked!
