I thought I was in for an easy day. I didn’t even put sunscreen on. I had hook-ups but could not get anything to the boat. Went all the way from one end of the lake to the other. Went past the still fishermen who arrived before me. They had one on as I swung by but it got off.
I headed back to the area I started off at. The west end and that is where I got them. I went back and forth and the Wannafish A Lure's Bloody Mary seemed to get more hits than the Pink Splatter Squiddy Thing. So I went to that on both rods with the same Dick Nite dodgers, Watermelon and Pink Splatter. Now I was trying to figure out why they were not committing to the hook and thought I am going to switch scents. I got at least the last 3 using Dick Nite’s DNA in Kokanee on the corn. I don’t know for sure if it was that or they just turned on. I got a double but lost the second one as I lifted it into the boat because I left the one in the net. It took about 2.5 hours to get my limit. I was there from about 6-8:30am. The fish I caught were in 36-50 foot of water and I got them at 17 to 21 feet down on the downrigger. They were 10-11 inches. Not a single rainbow today. The weather forecast said 84 for today. Did summer arrive before the 4th of July this year?
