I started fishing with a large nickel dodger with a Wannafish A Lure Bloody Mary and for bait, corn and Berkley Maggot. Before I put it on the clip I had a fish. Since I was so close to the launch I thought for sure it was a rainbow. But no it was a Bass! I could not believe it so I snapped a picture.
I put the Pink Splatter dodger from Dick Nite on with the Wannafish A Lure Pink Ice for the other rod, bait was corn and Berkley maggots. I fished with both rods. I lost track of how many fish I had to the boat. I got stuck about 8:30 without a bite until 9 when I thought about what may have changed. Well, it was not completely cloudy anymore. The sun was peeking around the clouds. So I took off the Pink Ice set up and put on a 50/50 dodger with my 50/50 lure. I was pulling out the line, counting and at about 25 my line went slack. A Kokanee hit the lure and came towards me causing the line to go slack. I had several hits on that lure as it was going out. So I got them at surface (or very close) to 18 feet. I think the deepest water I was in was about 37 feet. I got most of my fish trolling around the first 2 buoys to the left as one comes out from the launch.
It was a good day catching. I came home with my limit of Kokanee in 2 hours.

Toni, how did the boat repair, motor repair (what was wrong) and boat trailer refurb turn out? Nice fish, very "chrome".

Fun having the fish play tricks like heading toward you instead of away. And catching a surprise fish:-).

Looks like a nice group of fish

Nice Toni, your Wannafish A Lures are Kokanee Killers. Keep up the awsome fishing, and look forward to reading your future posts.
