Yeah. No prob. Check later when I'm not on my phone and I'll post up some highlights.

We hit it last night without any love from the kokes. We tried wedding rings and dick nites and the little buggers would not bite anything we threw at em. I will try again next week.

Tips were as follows.

Dick nite flashers give the best action.
White shoe peg corn is the only corn to use.
.8 to 1.75 with a sweet spot of around 1.25 for trolling.
They are not leader shy...fight them easy.
Refresh baits every 30 min.
Run your two hooks close together.
Think pink and green.

Very nice  I'm sitting here hoping my new fuel pump ships monday so it has a chance of getting here by next weekend.

A few jumpers around.  Perfect morning out here.

Still some fish jumping. A few boats around picking up one here and there.

So here is the bro in law holding our first koke of the season. Measured out at 13.5 inches and yielded two very nice little filets. We hit it just north of the west launch in about 70 feet of water at about 6 feet off the rigger. We were fishing a wedding ring with a clown dodger tipped with shoepeg and scented with Dick Nite scent. We did what we were told at the clinic, set the line in the trout clip, don't set the hook after the strike, and reel it in slow and easy. Granted, the BIL dropped it and it landed on the swim step but we managed to not lose it. Very pleased even if this was our only fish. It tells us we are doing something right.

Nice one guy's.

Thanks buddy. Sure was nice putting around my home waters. More kokes to come this summer.

Finally got the new fuel pump in. Planning on hitting it hard saturday morning. Is anyone else gonna be out?

[h20hunter]

Looks like the BIL and I will be out again this Sunday. Going to tie up some of our own stuff and get after it. Mallard....please be sure to post up how you do Saturday morning.

[mallard79]

Will do.
