I didn't sit down for the first time until 0700. Early white squids with pink dodgers were on the menu between 20 and 30 feet, although the biggest fish of the day (a kokanee that went almost 22 inches) came on an orange squid/orange dodger combo at 40 feet.
We caught another strong bite from 1000 to 1130 with pink squids and pink dodgers between 20 and 30 feet.
The boys lost a bunch but we took our limits home by noon after a little run around the lake. My boy's friend caught his first fish ever, a kokanee, and was pretty pleased to have dinner for his family tonight. They missed quite a few fish and our limits included 2 rainbows. We also had 6 or 7 cutts that were all released.
If only the boys knew how to fillet...
Sounds like a great morning! Thanks for the report
