[Kentchaken]

Spring Shores Docks

Thanks for the info. I need 3+ sections of dock to launch. How was fishing?

One dock only had one section and the other had 3 if my memory serves me right.
There was 3 boats tied up to it at one point.

Fishing was slow. We were participating in a Kokanee Tournament hosted by SWIF.
Out of 46 boats only 13 caught fish.
I had engine trouble and only fished for an hour. I was one of the boats that got skunked. lol

I fished for 2-3 hours on Saturday. Arrived around 10 ish, pulled out around noon or 1. Didn't pay that much attention to time. Fished near the dam. Hooked up once and got it to the side of the boat where it came off. Didn't talk to anyone who actually caught a fish. The one hook up was on an orange wedding ring. Not sure of depth as I was letting line out when it hit. Around 20 feet I think. Was around 13 inches.

I'm Looking For A Used 9.9 Elec Start 4 Stroke Kicker

And I have a Yamaha non tiller 4 stroke 9.9 partial trade if anyone can help me. I need a long shaft.
Thanks

Non-tiller? So it ties into your steering wheel only with a remote throttle control? I never knew they made a small motor without a tiller.

 

[DEALMKR]

Yes you can have a separate throttle control

For your kicker so no need for a tiller handle and
Elec start and power tilt as well. I'm thinking about
Going with a Tohatsu 9.8 4 stroke as my Kicker.
No tiller handle. Control/Start from my console. 5 yr
Warranty. Indian Creek in Kuna

Few pic. from Sat. May 20 -2017

Fished yesterday, Mon 5/22 from 10:00AM til 3:15PM. It's was slow, a lot of changing lures and fishing depth. Caught 2 trout and 2 Kok, kept a 14" kok and released the rest. It was a nice day and there were few boats in the dam area but didn't see much action. Water temp. 55 deg. and murky, the water level dropping again about 3'.
Gladly my boat safety inspection is done for this year at Tuner Gulch Parking lot.

Below are few picture that wife took on Sat 5/20 while we drove by LP and Spring Shore Marina. There were many boats trolling by the dam for SWIF Tournament, wife said it look like US Fleets on South China Sea . At SS Parking lot there were many fishermen happy with their Kok & Trout bagged. Talked to couple fishermen they said fish were right on the top Yeah right!
A nice shot was mom and daughters walk along highway 21 to pick up trashes when we heading back to Boise.

[Grizz]

So fish LP for the first time this year. Not very good for me, tried different Dodgers, scents and depth from 5 to 30 feet. No love Water was muddy could only see about 3 feet. Talk to two guys that said they had 6. They were fishing at 30 feet Hoping it picks up.

 

[DEALMKR]

I'm looking forward to full clearer water with dock space

Hopefully by the end of June.

Fished on Tuesday

I'm afraid my bad luck from last season has found me this year. Fished through the morning on Tuesday. Long lined, down riggers at various depths, different lures and colors. Tried spots near Spring Shores and Goose Neck. 1 trout!!! Maybe next week.

The bite is still off.....

Fished yesterday (Tuesday) from 0600 to 1200..... Slow Slow Slow. Didn't boat a single Koke. I have noticed that the wind really howls from before sunrise to about 1000. Makes trolling way less enjoyable. I think, for the time being, I will limit my fishing till after 0900 or so. Water was between 52.5 and 55 degrees. Turbidity was marginal at best. I did manage to boat 4 nice looking trout, which I returned back into the water.

Will someone please tell me where "Goose Neck" is located???

Thanks Bob.... This is the best map I've seen concerning the names of the shoreline features.

Fished with my father-in-law from 11 to 3pm yesterday (5/31). Water 58-62 deg, depending on where I was, and still stained. Tried across from Spring Shore into the narrows, then Gooseneck area. 5 trout, but no kokes.

 

[Pauli]

Still Very Slow

Back out on the lake today (Friday) from 1030 to 1700. Only 1 trout with a total of 4 strikes. Didn't mark a heck of a lot of fish either..... At least it was a gorgeous day with no wind.
