I understand!!! That's OK son!!! I've been out with you a couple times and wondered just like Miles and his friends, when are we going to head back to camp!!!!! Love you Son!!!!!!

And I was grateful for the extra hour of sleep!!! Opener was a blast but being on the water with son and grandson, tops everything!!! And 30 more kokes for the grill and smoker is just an added treat!!!

Awesome day on the water with Chukardave1!!!! Best opener ever!!! Put our 2015 Opening Day catch of 42 in the dust!!!! Thanks Son!!!!!

Chukardave1 - was the water temp about the same as opening day?

Opening Day @ Wickiup - 3 generations of K's (Dave, Miles, Bob) take to the water at O'Dark-Thirty with the temp below 30!!! Fantastic opening day!!! A new boat record for opening morning - 58 Kokanee boated before the winds came up in the late morning and we decided to call it a day!!! Not...

I've been smoking my kokes without filleting them so that they are not overpowered by the brine mixture; I generally brine them for 8 - 10 hours in the fridge overnight, then rinse and pat dry in the morning before smoking. For those who have tried SeaDog's recipe, can you tell me how long you...

Opening Day @ Lake Wickiup - 3 generations of K's (Dave, Miles, Bob) take to the water at O'Dark-Thirty with the temp below 30!!! Fantastic opening day!!!

xplorz, just curious as to what effect running the app has on the phone battery? I ask because last week I was turkey hunting and my son was using a Google Earth app on his iPhone; it worked great showing us where we were as we explored some new State and Tmber lands; however, the continuous...

Great Opener on the lake!!! Launched about 5:30AM with son and 5 year old grandson; temp at lake was 25 degrees; water smooth; fish were on fire until sun was up a bit!!!! Although bite slowed a bit as sun rose higher, there was action throughout the morning! Came in around 1 PM as the wind...

What part of the lake was the best? Were the fish still shallow? On Saturday, all 11 we landed were taken trolling 5 to 15' below the surface and orange was a hot color. What lure and color seemed to work best for you?

Wickiup Update @KokaneeGirl - Friday & Saturday at Wickiup reminded me of the song lyrics "What a difference a day makes, 24 little hours ...." My son (ChukarDave)and I fished it on Friday from mid-morning to just about 2 PM; had one hit which netted us a 15-incher. That was it. Saturday we...

Hoochie Material SuperD, one more question, what is the name of the stuff you use on the hook eye? Bob

Dave, absolutely!!!!!!! Hoping to hit Wickiup opener later this month with oldest son. Can you tell me what size/type the blades are and the size of the hooks. Going to try and tie up some rigs; son suggested size 4 hooks and I wondered what you are using here. Bob

Finally made it back down to OR to go kokanee fishing with my oldest son; tried Wickiup on Friday morning but did not have much success; son got one nice one but only had one other good hit; pulled up and headed to Paulina shortly after noon but when we got there, wind was up, whitecaps were on...

Been away for awhile chasing sockeye in Lake Wenatchee and silvers/kings in Ilwacho and Westport. Limits at all three locations. Got back to OR and went with my son on Saturday (8/22) to Wickiup. My first time there. Dock at launch site was high and dry but enough ramp and water to put in a 19'...

Great going!!!!! I went down to Sunriver last week. My son and I tried Paulina on the afternoon of the 24th; got one trolling and one jigging but the wind was really intense. Loaded up and gave jigging on East Lake a try. Got a couple and they were definitely larger than the ones at Paulina but...

I just read a WDFW e-mail about new size limits for kokes on Cle Elum Lake. I did not realize the lake had kokes and I certainly can abide by the new regulation of not keeping any over 14". Has anyone fished this lake for kokes and if so, what advice can you pass on to someone who has never...

Kokefly, I'm up in Issaquah and new to the koke scene. I'm wanting to try American Lake but know very little about it. Where do you launch? Have you been out there lately? Bob
