Steelfish and I (Windriver) had a great day at Mackay today. We were the ones in the command post. We arrived at burrrrr....AM. It was so cold when we arrived that I decided the ice house had to go up before looking for fish. Usually I look for fish and then put up the ice house.
We got lucky or good by following Ovid Creeks directions. The Kokes came through pretty much all morning long. Sometimes the Vex lit up like a Christmas tree from top to botttom.
It is strange how MMDons reports and mine are so different. We caught most of our Kokes on the bottom 5 feet of water. We did catch several that came through up high. That is the beauty of the Vexilar. The fish can't sneek past above the bait without us noticing.
We did best on very small jigs such as Ratfinkies. The swedish pimples seemed to be a bit too big for these small kokes. We used the swedish pimles as weight and flashers with a small jig dropper.
We did catch some rainbows as well. One of them was pretty nice.
By noon we were tired of catching and releasing Kokes so we kept our limit and went to another body of water that Ovidcreek recommended. The afternoon was awesome as well. (Thanks Ovidcreek.)
Thanks Steelfisher for the great company.
I didn't take pics today. Hopefully Steelfisher will post some of his.
