Finally made it out!!! Took my dad, brother and nephew from S.Dak out this morning. Got on the water by 06:30 and started getting bit as soon as we put the gear down. Bites were fairly consistent all the way through about 11:30 when we filled our limit, although there were a few lulls in the action every so often.
Had downriggers with sling blade/hoochie combos as well as flat lines with pop gear/spinner combos. pinks, oranges, greens and even gold were good colors. Tipped them with scented corn... Caught fish from 25 to about 55 feet, shallower early and deeper later a.m. Biggest was a hair over 14 with the vast majority under a foot long... Even got a few bows and a few perch. Have no idea why we picked up 3 perch suspended in over 90 feet of water while fishing for kokanee though!!!
Great day on the water... looking forward to finding more of those 14 inch+ fish...
