After we finally found a place to launch our pontoons (we used a logger road and luckily they left the gate unlocked for us that evening) the fishing was great all morning under the overcast sky. I was using a topwater Spit-n-Image by Excalibur; the fish were hitting it hard until the sun came out. I then switched to some Yam. twin tailed skirted grubs (rootbeer) on a flat jig head. First cast landed a nice smallie. The bite drastically slowed down in the afternoon, but GraphiteZen and I saw some huge smallies while on the float. There are alot of big fish through there.
We pulled out under the 138 bridge; the shoots were pretty fun. We had to climb by use of rope, pull are toons/supplies up the steep incline via rope, then pull are things straight vertical 50ft up onto the bridge. Total, we moved our toons/supplies 5 times to get them into the truck. NOT AN IDEAL TAKE OUT SPOT. A heck of a float though.

It sounds like a great day, except for all of the portage work...thank you for the report.

Yeah moving the supplies leaves a lot to be desired but totally worth it Especially when we see Big K Ranch guides and they kind of look at us like they are thinking "Were the heck did you come from ?!?!"

AHHH...Yes! I try to float Kellog, to a logging road right after the straight, wind blower stretch. I like to target Chinook, and when I get one right in front of their property, boy do those guides give you the strangest looks...Kind of an anger/awe type. But tossing anchor, and wheelin and dealin the mid-sized footballs that come up frequently is a total rush. Need to do it again this year, as last year was wicked fun when I went.
