Started fishing around 7:30 AM. Fished leaded lines and downriggers in the Granite Point area. Lots of fish on the sonar from top to bottom. Looks like the kokanee are schooling up. The weather was cloudy, windy and very unsettled. Water temp 61 degrees. Bite was inconsistent and most were caught in the top 20' with the leadded lines at three colors outscoring the downriggers. Dick Nite 1" spoons in pink trolled at 1.6 mph were the best performers on the lead outfits. Had a great time in spite of the weather..love that top and curtains!
Caught 18 kokanee nice ones were around 10". Caught two 18" bowes; fat and feisty on the Kokanee light weight Lamaglass rods! They took the Dick Nites too. Quit around 2:00 PM. Great day...no water skiers, fun friends !!

That's a nice load for the smoker. I should try Loon someday, have never been there. Thanks for the report!

Thanks Phil - Yummy stuff for the smoker indeed! We night fish for them a little later in the summer, it's really a hoot. PM me if you want more details on Loon.

Nice fish!! to bad you did not hook into any skiers though. I hear they do well on the smoker as well. I am sure you will get your limit of them at least once before the end of summer.

Nope - We switch to night fishing with lights in the dark......no water skiers, it's nice and cool and the fish bite like CRAZY! Tickle, tickle on feather weight rods, it's a hoot. It's also a whole new science...er art form to catch the little slime rockets. Don't even try to catch one loose in the bottom of the boat. Yahoooo fish on!! If you stay past midnight you are allowed two days possession limit for 20 fish each. Any incidental catch of rainbow does not count in the kokanee limit.
perchboy? man do I love perch! AH
