At least 50% were caught by long line.

One was long lined 120 ft, no weight or leaded line with dodger and hootchie. Other was on downrigger, no fish was caught deeper than 16 ft. Early in the season I always fish the surface, I know people claim they need to find the theromcline of the fish in order to catch them, but when a lake...

May 2 Kokes

Good fish. I agree with Kodiak1, in the past few years I haven't seen or heard of any Koke out of Lucky Peak larger than 19", so good on you. Glad to see someone able to boat some really big fish, with proof.

You know it's great to read stories when people are catching good sized Kokanee on any given lake, but that's all they are, stories, unless there are pictures to back up that story. Pictures are worth a thousand words as they say, just make sure the fish have a tape measure next to it. Because...

Adding the trolling plate would help with your speed, but worsen the overheating. If you are overheating now, then when you add the increased drag of the plate and slower speed for the water pump pickup, there will be less flow to the motor. First issue to work on is overheating, that motor...

For those of you who are within relatively convenient driving distance to a NON-ETHANOL gas station, do yourself a favor and ONLY use NON-ETHANOL fuel, including in your cars and trucks. For those of you not, sucks to be you, sorry. Sea Foam is the most effective additive I've seen operate, as...

This is what we used for King's on the ocean, it also doubles as a snubber because of the spring inside. http://www.luhrjensen.com/products/accessories/sinker-release

Additionally, if your Mercury outboard is not more than a few years old, it is most likely a Tohatsu, which is very Japanese.

Well, unless your vehicles were made prior to about 1985, it has parts from Asia, Mexico and Europe. Then there is the possibility that truck was built in one of two plants in Mexico, same with the Fords. The Toyota Tacoma and Tundra have been built in San Antonio, Texas since 2009

Here is what I use. http://www.wunderground.com/weatherstation/WXDailyHistory.asp?ID=MLUFI1 This station is on the right just before the bridge. http://www.wunderground.com/weatherstation/WXDailyHistory.asp?ID=MITD71 This one is on Highland Valley Summit, usually between the two you can...

I took this picture after the water level was down about 30 feet just downstream of Robie Creek Rd. Clearly these fish have no problem navigating low water, now if the creek flow decreased, that would be a different story.

I see there have been posts regarding this in the past, but without a list of non-ethanol, so here is a website that has a what we need, be it hot rod car, or older boat. http://pure-gas.org/index.jsp?stateprov=ID I hope this helps everyone, you will notice a difference in performance...

The drop in water level is a yearly occurrence, they will stabilize the water level usually in the middle of October. The water drop just happens to coincide with the spawn, so there aren't a whole lot of fish that will be on the bite regardless, which includes the non-spawning fish. So if you...

Do you have pics of these fat ones?

Here is a good link. I think NAPA has the 95 amp unit for $35. http://www.surepower.com/pdf/isolator1.pdf The Blue Sea 7610 for example is just a plastic encased version of a isolator with an LED. After looking at this unit, the plastic would not help in the dissipation of the heat it could...

Sawtooth I am here in Boise also, a mechanic by trade and while there are "custom" ways to design some special system, why? The manufacturers of battery isolators for motorhomes have been doing it for years without any issues. Almost all battery isolators are mounted under the hood of the...

K.i.s.s. Personally, I would run the main and kicker motor on one battery, then isolate the other battery for the rest of the boat. Reasoning that you can simply attach both motors to one battery without any isolation and either would always charge that battery and then pass the rest of the...

When does the fishing pick up in the fall, after the spawn? How late in the year can you fish by boat?
