No response? Anyone else from this group helping out with this event next week?
I have never done that, I use to volunteer my time with the DAV event that Wet1 use to host at Strawberry but the VA kind of blew that off after a few years. I appreciated all the time that Todd (Wet1) devoted to that and know he was very disappointed when the VA decided not to participate any more, it was a sad day for the Disabled Vets.

Just checking in to see who all on here is helping out with the CAST for Kids event on 8/1. This will be my first year and I’m excited to help out. I’ll be taking the pontoon boat and hope to be able to show the kids a good time.
I’ve only made it to Strawberry once so far this year and stayed on the Strawberry side. Any tips for anything that is working on the Soldier Creek side recently would be helpful.
I do have 2 downriggers on the back, but the clutch doesn’t seem to be holding as well on the one side, and they are harder to get to so I may try some jigging or bait fishing off the front where the kids can get to better.
I’ve gone the past 2 years and will be headed up to help again this year. It is usually a little later in August so I’m hoping this year the kokes will be a little more active. In years past I’ve caught kokes and cutts on pink, green, or orange squids, 35-50ft deep. I’ve been chasing lakers at the gorge for most of the year and have only made it to strawberry a few times. The kokes seem to be scattered out more than years past but the cutts always want to play. I’ll be there early in a white Lund/red Chevy if you need to borrow anything. Good luck!
