fun day. but hot.
I do recall seeing a black aluminum boat, but didn't notice if it was a tracker. I was there in a white Trophy with the tower.
The 22" kokanee are fun. It doesn't take long to know something is on the other side.
I remember seeing your boat come into the area we were fishing around 10 or 11 am. Not many Trophy boats like that around. I was with Liketrolling and that 22 incher made three sizzling runs before we got it to the net, best koke I've caught there in years.
Yeah, we started closer to the marina and moved as it slowed down around 10-11:00. The only reason I play the kokanee game is for a shot at those bigger fish. I've got one on my wall that tapes out to almost 24". Those big ones are so strong they can rip their own lips off so it's always a heart attack if they want to rodeo right behind the boat. They are just a lot of fun though.
I got bit by the saltwater bug a while ago. I called around everywhere in Salt Lake to try and get a tower built. Everyone wanted to repurpose a wakeboard tower, which is not what I wanted. I found a guy outside of Portland to get the tower put on. It's not the best boat for saltwater fishing. But, it is is minimally acceptable for what I do. It's nice to have a place to get rods out of the way, to see in the dark with the radar and lights, get the marine radio antenna out of the way, get the 360 light out of the way, and, sometimes, even have an extra handle to grab onto when things are a little more nautical than I would prefer.
