That's OK son!!! I've been out with you a couple times and wondered just like Miles and his friends, when are we going to head back to camp!!!!!
Love you Son!!!!!!
And I was grateful for the extra hour of sleep!!! Opener was a blast but being on the water with son and grandson, tops everything!!! And 30 more kokes for the grill and smoker is just an added...
Awesome day on the water with Chukardave1!!!! Best opener ever!!! Put our 2015 Opening Day catch of 42 in the dust!!!! Thanks Son!!!!!
Chukardave1 - was the water temp about the same as opening day?
Opening Day @ Wickiup - 3 generations of K's (Dave, Miles, Bob) take to the water at O'Dark-Thirty with the temp below 30!!! Fantastic opening day!!! A new boat record for opening morning - 58...
I've been smoking my kokes without filleting them so that they are not overpowered by the brine mixture; I generally brine them for 8 - 10 hours in the fridge overnight, then rinse and pat dry in the...

xplorz, just curious as to what effect running the app has on the phone battery? I ask because last week I was turkey hunting and my son was using a Google Earth app on his iPhone; it worked great...
Great Opener on the lake!!! Launched about 5:30AM with son and 5 year old grandson; temp at lake was 25 degrees; water smooth; fish were on fire until sun was up a bit!!!! Although bite slowed a bit...
What part of the lake was the best? Were the fish still shallow? On Saturday, all 11 we landed were taken trolling 5 to 15' below the surface and orange was a hot color. What lure and color seemed to...
@KokaneeGirl - Friday & Saturday at Wickiup reminded me of the song lyrics "What a difference a day makes, 24 little hours ...." My son (ChukarDave)and I fished it on Friday from mid-morning to just...
SuperD, one more question, what is the name of the stuff you use on the hook eye? Bob
Dave, absolutely!!!!!!! Hoping to hit Wickiup opener later this month with oldest son. Can you tell me what size/type the blades are and the size of the hooks. Going to try and tie up some rigs; son...
Finally made it back down to OR to go kokanee fishing with my oldest son; tried Wickiup on Friday morning but did not have much success; son got one nice one but only had one other good hit; pulled...
Been away for awhile chasing sockeye in Lake Wenatchee and silvers/kings in Ilwacho and Westport. Limits at all three locations. Got back to OR and went with my son on Saturday (8/22) to Wickiup. My...
Great going!!!!! I went down to Sunriver last week. My son and I tried Paulina on the afternoon of the 24th; got one trolling and one jigging but the wind was really intense. Loaded up and gave...
I just read a WDFW e-mail about new size limits for kokes on Cle Elum Lake. I did not realize the lake had kokes and I certainly can abide by the new regulation of not keeping any over 14".
Has...

Sorry but I've been out of town for awhile ( no Kokes in HI). Prior to leaving though my son and I got the Gibbs Minnows both in Madras and at the Bi-MART in Bend. Appreciate the help from KFF.
FallRiverGuy and others, after seeing cougar and black bear and no big Toms while out spring turkey hunting, I'm now resetting my sights on kokanee. I'll be visiting my son in Bend, 5/29-5/31 and am...
I'm wondering if anyone on the KFF has some online sources for purchasing 1/4 oz and 1/2 oz Gibbs Minnows. I found one place in Madras, OR but they have a pretty limited selection of colors in 1/4...
Went to LBC this morning with eldest son. Launched around 8:30 AM and returned at 2:30 PM with a couple limits. Tried both jigging and trolling. My son got a number of hits both jigging as well as...
FRG, thanks!!! I forgot about Bi-Mart. Been there but mainly for hunting ammo; I don't think I ever took a close look at their fishing tackle selection; will do so next trip.
FRG - Thanks!!! I'll let you know how we do.
BTW, I see you are located around Bend. What store(s) do you shop at for your fishing gear? My son and I hit Joe's and the Sportsman's Warehouse but...
