Lucky Peak Kokes 2011

Took my brother in law out on Sunday. It was fast and furious. Caught 12 in two hours, probably lost another 20. Twice all 4 rods were hit for us. Biggest fish was 16". Great day and great fishing for my brother in law who is from Omaha and hasn't really fished much. He had a blast and might become a Koke addict soon!

Nice catch LK. Were the circumstances the same from your previous trip when you reported..."Fished by Lucky Peak dam around 25 feet, wedding rings and spoons."
 
Hi all, I'm a newbie to the forum.

Went out Friday (4-1-11) only had one bite in the 5 hours I was out, great day though. Went out again today from about 10:30am - 5pm. Very Cold and windy. Only a handful of boats out. I landed one nice 14.5", and a whitefish (threw it back). had about 3 more strikes but nothing else hooked. Sounds like most are being caught by the dams. I'll try that next time out.
 
Born,
Downriggers were set at 18' and 23'. Found a school of them and just kept driving over them. The other boat by us was also catching fish.

OK, so I guess I was being just a bit cocky (and not very smart obviously). I went out to LP on Sunday and hooked a Koke with-in 2 mins after dropping my line (about 15-20 ft), lost it at the net (by myself ya-know). kept trolling, for 2 hrs, not even a bite. Went back to the exact spot i hooked the first one, had four on within 10 mins. I'm in no way even close to knowing how to fish for these things, but I'll tell you what, if you get a hit or two, turn around and hit the same area again (a novice mistake I guess). ANYWAY, As I'm sure I'll see some of you there tomorrow (supposed to be a nice sunny day), I'll try again. ..........PS, I never went to the dam like I said I was going to do on my last post. That being said, anyone else hitting below Arrowrock ?

good luck to all! (exept luckykoke, seems he's got it down and doesn't need any luck. :eek:) .....Just kidding luckykoke)
 
Great start to the season

I finally started my Koke season yesterday at LP with my friend and his son. The three of us brought home a total of 15. All were caught in the top 18 feet of water, with most in the 10 to 15 ft. range. Like Idahokanee just posted, if you find the fish stay with them. All but two were caught within 50 yards of each other. Most on homemade spinners. Pink and red being the go to colors.
 
Hit the water about noon today. Only a couple of bites in the first hour and a half or so. Tried lots of different colors, depths, speed, etc. Changed to red and the trout woke up but only boated one koke. Spent the day around Spring Shores. Couldnt find a honey hole like Luckykoke and Sawtooth have recently found. Theres always next week I guess 101chromefish101
 
Ditto KokeJunkie, threw everything I had at them, boated 3, threw 2 back because they were very small, maybe 8". Day before (cold, windy and raining, landed 3 footballs, all over 14"). Come-on Spring!
 
Hit lucky peak today. got there around 8 and fished till 4. got 5 in boat lost 3. also got 2 trout. seems that the bite turns off around 1. any body else go up this week end
 
We were up there on Sunday the 17th. It was tough fishing. Fished from the AM till about 11:30. We landed 7 in the boat and lost 7. Had to work much harder for them. Think the bite has turned off some.

Fished Friday 4/15

Fished from 8:30 -2:30 and landed 7. Must have lost 10. The fish were right near the surface. we had three poles out. 2 of them had 1 bite apiece all the rest of the fish were on one pole. Bite ended about 12:00 and never had another fish. Biggest fish was a (measured) 16" I would have guessed it bigger than that. Many of the fish we lost felt heavier than those we caught.
 
OK guys, Looks like a nice day tomorrow. Anyone going? :eek:)
...................I think the forecast calls for "Idahokanee to catch many fish tomorrow" :eek:)
 
I might go on Friday or Saturday also.

I have a Green Duckworth with gray top and usually 2 labs (hence the name TwoLabs)in the boat with me.

Naper,
We have a 14' Yukon with a black stripe down the side. Most of the day I was wearing a camo float coat and then later when it got warm I had a maroon sweatshirt on. Were you fishing with your son and daughter?

Well, Turned out yesterdays forecast was right ("Idahokanee to catch many fish tomorrow"). I couldn't keep those suckers off my line. I limited out in about 2.5 hours. Boated and kept six, caught and released about 8 more, and lost about 3 at the net (most were over 14"). Tried trolling for trout after I kept my last Koke (for those of you who do not know, Kokanee and trout are separate limits this year) but I couldn't find the trout. Anyway, it's looking like Friday's the next best day so far. Hope to see you guys there. .................PS. They're running shallow, anywhere from 5 to 15 feet. :eek:) .............good luck.
 
Hey TwoLabs, I think I was the guy you were driving behind (until you passed me) while heading up hwy 21 below the dam (around 11 am-ish). I had the light tan 15' skiff with the dark blue top (w/Green Yukon towing).
 
If it was about 11:00 on last Friday it probably was not me. We were on the water at Spring Shores around 8:30-9:00. I remember a truck/boat pulling over right before the bridge and a group of 4 getting in the water right before us but can't remember much else. "After all I was going fishing".

I'll watch for you in the future.
