Mike is right about the advantage going to the d.r.'s. I was up there yesterday with a few guys from work. Both wanted to catch some kok's and I told them no problem meet at my house at 6 and we'd take my boat. Well they wanted to take there own boats. So Avery and I fished out of a 17' ski and fish with our friend. It was not setup for trolling, 90 hp was to fast and electric was to slow and of course no d.r.'s. I got a lot of tackle and setups but I could not come up with the balance of things to make it work. After an hour I'd had enough and we went bass fishing. I have no doubt if we had been in my boat we could have limited.
The other guy fished out of his yak for over six hours and never so much as had a bite.
Good news was we did fairly well on the SMB. Just flipping tubes along the rocks and it seemed someone had one on ever 15 minutes or so. Nothing big but they sure pulled good. Maybe ended the trip with 15 -18 fish boated. Largest was 16" but I seen some hogs come up on the baits a few times.
I think I'll try and go up tomorrow for some kok's in my boat. Mike if you see my little smokercraft stop by and say hi.
