    Short Bite

    hornhunter, you didnt miss anything at Quabbin this year, my best trip was 3 days after the season opened, its been down hill from then on. Its been the same way at twin, in early june I hammered the kokes, after that I was lucky to catch 1 or 2 per trip.

    I got a 19.5" and a 20.5" out of a CT lake this June, they are here, just have to work for them. Might see another new state record fish come out of there before the end of summer.

    West Hill 7/2/12

    The bite seems to be as hot as it was back in May when we were getting double digit catches, they are just a little deeper now

    West Hill 7/2/12

    Fished from 6pm till 8:30pm. Boated 13 Kokes, lost 3 more behind the boat. 33-40' down on the riggers, beads behind a williams flasher, and Macks double whammy (smile blade) run clean, both tipped with anise scented shoepeg.

    Great Bite on the Hill

    Good job TT, on sunday they seemed to want it a little faster, most hits came around 1.2 mph, or just before the williams started to roll

    West Hill 5/6/12

    Never have I had a day catching such numbers, 25 total kokanee caught, not bad of a 4 hour troll. All fish were 10"-11", Pink/black and chart/black beads, behind a williams flasher(dodger), and of course ... tipped with anise scented corn.

    Gulp White corn/maggots vs. shoepeg corn?

    Shady, gives it a whole new meaning if you spell it with a "u" instead of the "i", and drop the "e",

    smoking kokes

    I have been using a dry brine, 1/4 cup salt, 1 cup brown sugar. Coat the fillets with the salt/brown sugar mix and let them sit for 6-8 hours, rinse and smoke. I always make a mess with liquid brines

    glow in the dark

    I have painted a few dodgers and spoons with UV and/or Glow powder paint using an air brush.

    staging kokes

    You talking about west hill I assume? I usually catch the most kokanee with the riggers set at 35' and 40', 25'-35' is were more trout seem to be.

    Nantahala Koke Head Project

    All over, i troll, but the majority of the fish last year were on the eastern shoreline, from the big boulder south to brodie beach. The deep hole looked barren compared to other years.

    Nantahala Koke Head Project

    I hope the quality of fish is better this year at West Hill (cant complain about the quantity) I have never caught so many 8-9 inchers like i did last year. Even just watching the spawn in Nov., you were hard pressed to see a red over 12 inches. East Twin however produced some quality kokanee...
