a wobbler?well went there once again today, 245am comes early and quick. got to an had my boat in the water at 5am, proceded to head out. its funny when you catch a fish, all a sudden your surrounded by 10 plus boats that are either cutting ya off or asking questions which i dont mind answering but the cutting a boat cutting into your trolling path is a bunch of b/s. oh well thats lake fishing.
only one pick of a fish, got 8 today. a very lackluster performance, but heading back out once again tomorrow. gotta get rid of my wire on my other downrigger and put dacron braid on it. it'll make a world of difference:dance:
oh hey bernduffy, theres a pick of what lure/dodge combo thats been hot as of lately...
We were down there Saturday, left Longview @ 2:15, met my fishin partner in Tigard, would of been on the water at first light but some dummy lock his keys in the rig and we had to wait for AAA to open it up & then we loaded the gear and headed down. We were still on the water by 6:30ish, didn't find a hot bite, did manage to boat 17 nice fat Kokanee. The water was 73d and the fish we caught are just on the verg of getting soft but still good fish, nice and fat...
Never experienced fish getting soft at GP. I bleed them and into the ice slurrey they go. I am targeting 60' on average and the temp at that level is 55 degrees. If you are fishing shallower than 55' you are going to be catching smaller fish (with the exception of first light) and they will probably be soft. One key to fishing GP is that if you are catching trout, you are too shallow. All of the fish I have been bringing home are solid with heavy shoulders. Took a fellow with me the other day and he hooked a trout; nothing but mush... Chewed him out for killing/keeping it! Why eat trout when you can have kokanee?
