Thanks for posting conservationist and Physion, I was up at spring shores for about 2 hrs on the evening of 4/27/13, I put in as most boats were taking out, my father in law and I both voted for fishing and the three other female family members in the boat voted boat ride, I've never fished for...

That’s awesome, those are great sized fish for LP for April, spring shores is always a popular spot, sounds like it’ll be a “bumper boats” course up there pretty soon my boat has a blue bimini top and a big ugly faded-grey mariner 150hp on the back, I’ll be up there tonight and tomorrow night...

thanks for posting reports DRM and conservationist, any size to the fish you landed?

from what I hear/read most people marinate their corn/scent combos in small containers once removed from the can I like to be a rebel and use non-shoepeg corn with no scents/colors, I'm sure there are others out there that do this but I'm the only one I know of history shows that the use of...

I could not open the attachments in september and october last year I had a lot of hookups in the top 3ft of water on lucky peak and for many of those my dodger was actually creating a small surface water disturbance and then a fish would hammer the squid behind it, fun to watch for sure to...

you'll find that a smaller portable solar charger will take a very long time to charge a battery and really won't keep up with the drain on the battery during normal trolling motor use, many factors involved but still in my opinion generally not practical for marine use unless you have a battery...

I've always had good luck with double #4 octopus hooks spaced 1/2in (the bend of the top hook to the eye of the trailer hook) apart, lots of catching with double hooks and not as much releasing, everything above is great advice as well and keep em sharp and you'll get fish in the boat for sure...

anyone catching anything lately? I'm probably gonna head up Sunday and I'm wondering where I should try, is that silly center dock still in at turner or are the side docks in yet? and anyone know if there is a dock in at spring shores?

SilverBullets is right on with his advice most people who are very serious about kokanee would never skimp on a finder and on the 1 to 10 seriousness scale (10 being the most serious) I'm at least a 7 even though I run an old entry level humminbird, honestly I've never felt I've needed more...

my friend landed quite a few 3 days ago, nothing too big but a few nice ones and lots of smaller fish

nice looking lures Physion, thanks for posting, I know if I was a kokanee (or a fisherman who didn't already make his own lures) I'd bite for sure

nice going D_Luck, its fun to make your own, I caught many kokanee last year in lucky peak on squids I purchased in bulk and then added my own hooks and line lets see a photo of that kok a nut lure, was it the one that kokaneetackle.com sells called the "kokanut lure"? check out some of my...

it must not be very good

thanks for the report

What size were the trout?

I think I'm the luckiest of all, I have a wife who drives the boat on and off the trailer (while holding our baby) and a brother who drives the truck, I get to: count the fish in the cooler, watch the boat ramp/dock follies and do a last minute sober-up from a long day of relaxing fishing thumbsup

I've definitely launched at turner before and needed 4wd to get out because of all of the sand/mud on the ramp even though the end of the ramp was far below the water surface my buddy went out with friends within the last few days and fished all day by the dam, they only boated 4 kokanee, most...

D_Luck, thanks for reporting, were you fishing by the dam? Physion, the U.S. dept. of the interior website shows the end of the spring shores low water ramp is under water: http://www.usbr.gov/pn/hydromet/ramps/lucky/lucky.html

a few years ago when i started fishing for kokanee i always ran the "2.5x dodger length strategy" for my squid leaders but many times that formula is a bit long for kokanee, for my 4.25" shasta sling blade dodgers i have my best results when i run my 2.5" squids about 8 inches behind the dodger...

thanks for posting 1clnek, the kokanee will be very shallow for quite some time, with 1oz sinkers and letting out up to 100' of line i'm sure there were times your lure was deeper than the kokanee on turns and low speeds, do you know what speed you were running? and if you have sonar how deep...
