another Gorge weekend

[halojm]

Another great weekend of fishing at the gorge, even though Saturday night gave us enough wind for a short period to make waves deep enough to get my 23 foot wellcraft airborne several time coming across the bay. Lots of fish, and they are getting bigger as you can see. Jared Colby and Matt fished on Jareds boat and I had a guest from Hill AFB who said he had been trying for Kokanee on several trips with no success. He had plenty of it this weekend. We run up to the upper marsh area every morning to great weather and flat water. Fish were in 45 to 70 feet of water hugging the edges of the main channel that runs though there. Seemed like everytime you crossed the edges you would pick up fish. Pink RGT tubes and Squids worked well as usual and Sunday the spoons were the ticket for the larger fish. Each boat picked up between 20 and 30 fish each morning with all but a few bleeders being released. Sunday morning started off as to be the best day of the weekend but around 830 it went dead. So it was back to the marina and packed everthing up to head home. One other thing, if anyone knows of someone who got home Saturday night and discovered that the swim platform on their boat was missing, along with the remote troll and trolling motor, let them know that we tried to stop them when it busted off, and that the marina shop at Lucerne has everthing there. A word of caution, don't think that because the speed limit is posted at 40 mph that you should go that fast. The road is in such bad shape that when he hit the depression and bump everthing exploded off their boat and they didn't even know it.
