Sometimes a guy gets lucky.....today wasn't our day. We launched a little after 4am and were soaking wet and tired of fighting the wind  by 5am. No bites.

Is anyone gonna be entering the derby next saturday?

lucky... yeah...

I'm going to do the derby again, and I hope to do better than last year. We only managed 3 small ones on derby day, but we were putting a bunch of big ones in the boat just prior to it. Watch out for team "Live Action" this year, we might just have it dialed in!

[mallard79]

I am hoping we can find the bigger ones again when saturday rolls around.....how bad is launching on saturday morning? How early do you need to be there to get a decent parking spot?  I am tempted to launch friday night and anchor up and sleep on the boat just so I don't have to deal with the launch mess.

I woke up at 4, heard the rain, and rolled back over and went o sleep. By 830 the wind was whipping pretty good so I decided not to fight it out there. I bought a derby ticket. Not sure if I'm fishing alone in my boat, or with someone else. I have friends on the lake with a dock I could probably tie up to the day before. Otherwise I live 1 minute from the launch and could get there real early and then park on the road by my apartments.

Oh man....we cooked up the Kokes this evening. I cut the filets up in chunks, skewered, slathered on some salmon rub and olive oil and grilled them up. Very tasty!!!

Has anyone ever tried going out at midnight with one of those green/flourescent lights  Seems like it would work pretty well if all that kokanee eat is green stuff...Worth a shot if someone had one...

Got four more yesterday with saltwaterhillbilly. It was slow at first, but we picked up a few decent ones.



Not sure the plan for Saturday, struggling to get my DR mounted to the boat in a decent fashion.

Nice job....did you save me the heads and body after cleaning? Still on top....long line? Nicely done.

[snocohunter]

Same setup. I gave Kyle the fish this time I had to go to work.

[h20hunter]

Right on.....how long do you think the fishery will go. I'd like to get back out once I get my bear tag filled. Will be happy to have you along anytime I go.

[mallard79]

The fishery will go for a while......they will start going deeper soon....I have caught them @ 105' down in late July early August but for good numbers I would bet we still have about a month or so left. The water skiers start hitting the water early once the weather gets warmer and can become a factor when following the schools as they stage for their spawning run.

So what you're saying is you are retiring your kokanee gear....
