had two downriggers down 90 feet ant two lines out set back 100 feet, it did not take to long for the wind to come up and big whit caps.
the elect. minn kota keep coming out of the water so it was no good. hooked into a fish he got into the other line, next thing the lines in the kicker motor the boats going where ever it wants.  the wife is no help.  so we pack up and go back to are room.

Gas is not cheep  any more and WY wants $30 for the boat $30 for my wife and $30 for me just to catch 3 kokanee. each 
plus what we spent on the room and food and wear and tear on the truck and boat.

any way we had a lot of fun.  watch the video  to the end.

never did get to fish for big lakers to much wind in the PM.

on are way home Friday at 12 noon looked like the hole city was on the road to FG.
boy was it hot should have fished from 3 am to 9 am.
Yes, Robert, its worth it.  Tell us again how much your boat, truck, camper, and sonars cost.  And you're going to quibble about a paltry $90 bucks?  If you fish the Wyoming side of the Gorge 10 times during the year and you and your bride limit on kokes each trip, thats 60 salmon that cost you $1.50 each.  Think you could beat that at Costco or Sams?

How much are you spending for launch fees at Strawberry these days?  The annual pass is over $100 and the daily fee is close to that for 10 launches.  And the cost to get there and back is about the same as going to the Gorge for me from Weber County.  I've never been skunked on kokanee at the Gorge and very seldom leave there without a full limit.  I can't say the same for Strawberry.

Your nit picking pennies in the overall picture.   Big Grin
