Kokanee Chrome
« on: May 08, 2013, 03:39:56 PM »
Fished lake stevens this morning, went 4 for 6. Fishing in the top 15' no downriggers.  Pink splatter dick nite dodger, orange wedding ring with 12lb leader and double pink gamakatsu hooks. Dick Nite Kokanee scented shoepeg corn. The biggest fish decided to do a death roll in my cheapie folding net and threaded the hook back through the wedding ring and it's own mouth. had to cut off and ended up with a 10" leader. Next turn on my figure 8 hooked up to fish number 4. Not bad for a couple hours time on the water.

About 30 spools on the spinning reel, similar on my baitcaster as well. Far! Lol. I'm going to attempt to get out at the crack o' dawn tomorrow since i talked to a guy who limited by 730 or so. He was out at first light.  :tup:

This year's goal for me is to become a Kokanee killer.  I have American Lake close by and what few Kokes I have caught have all been nice fat fish.  went out Sunday and never hooked up except for rainbows up on top.   Nice fish.  Maybe some year I will have to get up to Lake Stevens.

The kid and I went Saturday and Sunday and took home 8 big ones each day. We were letting the smaller ones go. Sunday we missed a ton of hits for some reason. We were trying out the sickle hooks.....I can say I am not a fan...going back to the gami's.

We had really good luck with pink or green mini squid with glow in the dark heads early in the morning. I have a couple flashers with  a glow in the  dark finish that we are going to try this weekend before it gets light.

If you see a camo sled with a pair of older Yamaha's on it say hi!   :hello:

I don't think they are record fish but the 15" fish was a fatty. And the others were all great fish too. I gotta give some credit to Greg at Greg's Custom Rods. I did what he said and it works. Good people him and his wife.

Take me take me :hello:

You're welcome to join me, my boat or yours. I posted on the open sat thread awhile back. Anyone else that wants to go sometime just let me know.
