DECIDED TO HIT THE LAKE AT THE LAST MINUTE AND WE ARRIVED LATE SUNDAY NIGHT....AFTER A QUICK PREP TO THE BOAT AND A FEW HOUR'S REST WE HEADED NORTH OUT OF LUCERNE, WITH BUCKBOARD/BREEZE HILL BEING OUR DESTINATION. IT IS A BEAUTIFUL SCENE DRIVING UP LAKE AT 4:30 IN THE MOURNING AND WATCHING GOD'S CREATION COME ALIVE..( I DOUBT I WILL EVER TIRE OF WATCHING THAT).
ARRIVED AT MY SPOT AT 5:10 AM AND PUT OUT THE FIRST OF FOUR LINES THAT WERE TO BE FISHED.... RAN DEPTH'S OF 15-32 FEET FIRST THING IN THE MOURNING...AND BEFORE I COULD GET THE SECOND LINE LAYED WE HAD OUR FIRST HOOK-UP AT 5:14AM!!A AWESOME KOKE THAT WAS IN THE HIGH 3 POUND CLASS... THE DAY FOR US FOLLOWED FAIRLY FAST AND FURIOUS FOR THE FIRST 2 HOUR'S AND THEN DIED AS FAST AS IT STARTED....BUT THE DAMAGE WAS DONE WE HAD A 5.3 POUND 24 AND 1/2 INCH
KOKE IN THE BOAT WITH A 4.0, 3.9, 3.7, 3.7 AND A 2.4(HE WAS INJURED, HAD TO KEEP HIM). SO TO SAY THE LEAST IT WAS WORTH THE RUN UP LAKE!!! WE HAD A DOCK BBQ THAT NIGHT AND ALL ENJOYED THE DAY'S CATCH....GREAT WITH A WASABI/TERYAKI MARINADE!!!!
DAY 2 WAS TOUGHER THEN DAY 1 AS I HAD TO WORK HARDER TO FIND MY FISH BUT WHEN I FINALLY DID IT WAS FAST AS WE LANDED 9 KOKES IN THE SPAN OF 25 MINUTES( IT WAS A LATE BITE 8:20 AM) SOMETIMES YOU JUST HAVE TO BE PATIENT AND THEY WILL TURN ON LUCKILY I WAS JUST PATIENT ENOUGH!! THE DAY'S CATCH INCLUDED A 4.4 POUNDER AND A BUNCH IN THE MID-UPPER THREE'S...
THE HOT BAIT'S WERE 2 OF MY NEW "SOCKEYESLAYER" WIDE EYED BUG'S,(THEY WILL BE AVAILABLE THIS FALL) AND TWO OF MY NEW CUSTOM MADE MINI SQUID'S (THEY ARE ONLY A INCH AND A HALF LONG...ALSO AVAILABLE THIS FALL!!) IN HOT PINK RUNNING 1OO FEET BEHIND THE BOAT AND AT 1.5-1.9 MPH.
I AM THINKING WE NEED TO HAVE A BFTER--FEST UP AT THE LAKE WHAT DO YOU GUY'S THINK??? THAT WAY IF ANYONE WANT'S TO LEARN THE LAKE FROM ALOT OF US WHO FISH THERE THEY COULD FIRST HAND....I KNOW OF A LARGE GROUP OF US ON THIS BOARD WHO I THINK COULD HELP OTHER'S GREATLY...JUST AN IDEA!!
HAPPY FORTH OF JULY TO ALL AND THANK YOU TO ALL VETERANS AND MILITARY PERSONAL FOR ALL YOU DO!!!(EXCEPT YOU SCOTT!!!!!!!)
