My wife, nephew, and I fished L.P. this morning. We limited out by 11:30, but had to work at it. We hit it early in the A..M., but had a tough time of it until we realized we were below the fish. Our lead core was the only thing catching fish. Finally we figured out that we had to ignore all the marked fish from 28 to 45 feet, and get the 'riggers up to 18. Once we did, we had good success. One other boat was catching fish regularly, and when I asked him what he was doing, he said he was trolling kokanee killers--no flashers or dodgers, tipped w/ shoepeg. He came in with two limits the same time we did. We were using the usual. Talked to lots of others, and most boats only had 1-3 fish. When they would come over and ask us what we were doing, they would say they had been too deep. The depth was very specific. 20 feet just would not produce. This time last year I was fishing at 27 feet. Go figure. 6 of the fish were 16 1/2 to 18", and FAT. I am convinced that soaking the corn has been helping. Mike
