My wife and I hit the water and lines down at 6:15am. We ran four rigs off two downriggers, staggering depth from 25-55 feet. Conditions were calm, very pleasant morning on the water. There were around a a half dozen or so boats and except for one boat, it looked like we were all struggling. The one boat had two older guys and (according to them) limits by 8am. I did see them catch six fish, including a triple. And no, he wouldn't tell me what he was doing different from the rest of us, just that "we have a lot of experience on this lake". That's fine, gave me incentive to fish harder.
After they left, we did hit two small koks, at 25 ft and 40 ft. Both came off at the net. Fiesty little buggers! I was switching up gear constantly - they came on variations of greens and pink hoochie type rigs, with small dodgers.
Our keeper fish came at 40 and 45 ft, each about 12". We learned to bring them in slow and that really helped. After the last fish at 10am things went dead. We came in at 11:30. BTW, trolling north of the aerators about 50 yards I snagged something midwater, 55 ft down. I was lucky to get my gear and DR ball back. Caution is advised!
Can't wait for the next kok trip. :-)
