It was a CRAPPIE day.
It was cloudy and the water temperature was 73. I started about 8:30am.
I put on what worked the last 2 times. Dodgers in 50/50 and Clown with Wannafish A Gilded Lily and the green lure tipped with shoepeg corn. The green lure out produce the other but for most of the time the Gilded Lily was on the bottom of the stacked rods. Fishing them at 20 and 30 feet down on the riggers but then brought it up to 9 and 19 feet. I got a bite right away and a crappie was in the boat. Within 10 minutes I had 1 trout and 3 crappie 1 of which I released. I had them on before I could get the line in the clip. It didn’t seem like I could find an area without crappie. I don’t know how many I caught but I kept 6.
I went over to the area south of the launch to try to get away from crappie. I caught a few more and 2 or 3 more trout and a catfish (bullhead). Finished off my trout limit heading back to where I started. I was done by 10:30.
Got a call from my brother that Kim and Tracey were on their way to meet me in the paddle boat. Talked with them. Then motored over to my brother Richard and nephew Cody who were fishing on the marina dock and talked with them a while.
Fish checker was there but no kokanee to report. The man who launched at the same time as I said he didn’t get any kokanee either.
In the video at 19 feet it is hard or one can't see the fish bite the lure. Visibility is down to about 12 inches. Most of the footage is at 15 feet and sometimes it is hard to see the fish.
