The water is still cold, 46.4 degrees at 5:15 this morning. At least there wasn't another boat on the Res. at that time! The Kokes are scattered and haven't schooled at all so they are a bit of a puzzle to find. I had a guy troll between my boat and the bank and yell to me that the fish were at 40' deep. I smiled as we were crossing a point and the water depth he was toplining in was 20' max.
The fish came early at 5' on the wire with a 70' setback. By 11:00 you could catch Kokes at 18' on the wire with a 7' set back using the PIC (Positive Ion Control) on the Cannon Digitrolls to draw them right to the ball. Best current was 5.8 but that reading would change depending on where you were fishing so make sure to meter your wire as you change locations! If the nights will get a bit warmer we should be seeing schools of Kokes within 2 weeks!
Happy Hunting!
