Launched at Lucerne at 1130 on Friday. Really just wanted to get the boat out. Anyway, before going I rigged with standard kok gear. I laid the poles in the bottom of the boat, figured folks would think I was nuts. Everyone (the few there were) seemed to be after early bows and jigging for macks. Drove around for a minute, up by the pipeline and around. Ice was about 300 yards from the pipe. The wife went with me and we put out two poles on side planers and two on riggers. I know some are not going to believe this but the poles started dancing. We had three kokes on at one time, a first for me. No kidding. After 15 minutes we had 4 and quit. I'm never much on trying to catch numbers, just enough for a meal. I always wonder if you caught 30 or so, how many of those would die. No giants but seemed to be around 16 to 18 inchers.
I can post some pics if need be I suppose. Drove down stateline road on the way home and waived at Ashley.

Great report and super glad you got a meal...

Did you catch them both on the riggers & side planners?

I wonder is you could please give the launch conditions - is the ramp open & clear and how is Linwood bay - Ice free?

Just hoping to brag the boat for 3 hours and fish open water.

Thanks Again - Enjoy those tasty salmon...

Wish I was burned out on lakers.

But good job, 18" kokes will do nicely!
