2013 Lucky Peak Fishing Thread

[conservationist]

Fished from 9:30 to about 2:30 off of Spring shores down towards Moore's Cr arm. Hooked about 6, got three fair sized (14-15") fish in the boat. A bit slow. A bunch of county sheriff boats on water from all over the State practicing stuff. Spoke with a boat load of gentlemen who fished up towards Mack's Cr. They said they had their 3 limits of Kokes. Didn't see em so have no idea of size. Water has cooled down a bit. Started at 46 and was 47.5 when we got off water. Fished 6 inch dodger with pink hoochie on one rig, long flasher set (can't remember name) with a pink hoochie .... some shoe peg corn a fine gentleman gave us for the asking as we'd left ours back home. Fished 20 - 30 feet. Best luck at 30 feet.

Fished LP on 4/27 accross from spring shores and then by the dam.
Fished at various depths for about 30 minutes at each depth in the same area with 4 lines. Finally got 3 nice Koke at 30ft on the downriggers, several more on but gone before getting in the boat and several more hit and runs stealing my corn. Ended with 4 koke and 2 trout.

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 is going up or down in elevation of more than a foot a day like Lucky Peak or Arrowrock, it's hard for the water to be stable, therefore no thermocline. Also, people assume there are few to no fish at the surface because their fish finder doesn't pick them up, well in 10 ft or less from the surface the fish scatter when your boat goes over the top of them.

At least 50% were caught by long line.

Fished LP today 5/6/13. Started at base of Arrowrock above Mack's creek. Others were catching fish but we could not get a hook up. Headed back towards Spring Shores. Hooked one at 30 feet at point just upstream of second boat ramp but lost at side of boat. Another hit just past the west boat ramp but failed to hook up. Finally brought one to the net under power lines in Moores Creek. Slow day for us. Just didn't have the right combo I guess. Fished 20-30 feet with DR's, 6 inch dodgers in pink/green and pink bone pattern. End tackle was pink hoochie on the dual tone dodger and a bright green wedding ring behind the pink bone dodger. Tried others combos but no hits.

Fishing too deep big boy....right now less than 15 is the key....

I hooked a 14" Koke last Saturday 5/4/13. Using leaded line, only out two colors. I agree that the fish are on top. We were fishing too deep most of the day. Sunday we caught small Kokes that we tossed back for next year . We ended up with 6 trout. All were caught near the surface.

You guys are killing me with this shallow talk. I have not caught a kok shallower than 28 for over two weeks, and fishing is GOOD. If you have been waiting, it's on.

Interesting....the best size kokes yesterday were at 10' or less for me. The only fish I picked up at 30' were the annoying little planter trout.

Fished LP this morning, and picked up two limits by noonish. Wedding rings and pink hoochies seemed to work equally well. Caught an equal amount at 30 and 17 feet, with a few on top. All caught in a small area. The one memory of today's outing was when an osprey dove and grabbed our Shasta Sling Blade and hoochie, and then flew off ripping off 650 feet of line. Thank goodness we finally got him unhooked no worse for the wear. Mike
