WOW, good for you guys. I was out yesterday morning from 6 until noon and never got one bite from a kok 
. We tried everything under the sun, including what you guys were using. We must not have held our mouth right, but, we were further up the water in/near the narrows. I also talked to 3 other boats who were having the same luck as we were. Not a fish one . We could see a ton of fish on the finder but no takers. They were between 30 and 60 ft. Last time we were out we did well and had fish in the same range. But, not sure what we did wrong yesterday except went back to the same area. I am wondering if with the water dropping and warming up a bit, they have moved closer to the dam?
Those are awesome fish and typical of what I had been seeing, bigger, better, and most awesome
When we were getting ready to leave, 2 kids had the unfortunate luck of their truck running out of diesel right in front of my truck so we couldnt move to get our boat out. No one was around the truck so I was like really, lol. I started honking the horn and pretty soon here comes the 2 kids running up from the water no where near the ramp and the kid tells me he ran out of diesel. Thats a problem. I told him he would have to back it down along the side of the parking area into the law enforcement parking area. He said, but its not a standard transmission so I cant let it coast. I was like really? I said just put it into neutral and youll have to turn really hard with no power steering and trying to turn with the boat, a big ski boat to get it moved. Low and behold, this young bull got it moved but, man was he using everything he had to turn the steering wheel to get the truck moved. Now that's what I call pre-trip planning. MAKE SURE YOUR VEHICLES HAVE FUEL, lol.
Anyhow, there were a lot of boats on the water yesterday so I hope more ppl had the luck you did. Thats one awesome mess of fish there. I think it looks like the bite actually will be on for a while more so fill those freezers for the winter and smoke a few tasty ones for a nice treat.
