    Default Lucky Peak Kokes 2011

    Well since I started the 2010 Lucky Peak Koke thread, I figured I better get 2011 going! We hit the water late morning on Jan 1, 2011. It was cold and so was the fishing. Only one hit. Our New Years tradition began with a skunk. Anyone else out there catching anything?

    I know Zimo has to make a living but every time he writes and article on one of my favorite spots to hunt, camp, or fish it is trashed by weekend warriors.

    let us know how you do if you go. ive never been koke fishing this time of year. i imagine its not going to be too productive for the kokes. you may pick up some bows though. good luck.

    Well guys I did make it out last weekend but I decided to go try CJ instead. The whole way there the weather looked good but once we dropped down onto the reservoir from Strike Dam road it was blowing about 20mph AND foggy...weird weather combo. Anyway, we trolled around for about 4 hours without touching a fish and decided to call it a day. We tried depths between 15-30 ft and trolled rapalas, wedding rings, panther martins, and hoochies. Even though we didn't catch anything it was still great to get back out on the water and try out some new gear!

    We fished LP weekend before last. Water was 35 degrees. Could not run up to the canyon due to ice. We caught 4 by the dam. I'll let it get a little warmer and the ice be gone before I get too serious about it.

    Sorry it has taken me so long to post this but I've been out of town. We hit Lucky Peak late Feb and trolled for quite some time without a single hit. Finally we switched to a larger ford fender and a pure green wedding ring tipped with magots. Found them. Nice size for this time of year.

    If I remember correctly, the largest fish was 16 1/2". We too were impressed by the size. I think we are heading out on Sunday so I should have a report next week too. Good luck fishing.

    I think we will brave the rain and see what LP has to offer today. Hopefully I'll have a decent report.

    Went up this evening by the dam for a couple hours...only had one bite. Didn't mark many fish on the finder, the fish we saw were sporadic between 20-60 feet. Tried lots of tackle with no luck. Thought about running up the canyon a bit but every time we tried it was raining pretty bad so we stayed by the dam.

    The fish were caught in the morning. Seemed to just shut off in the afternoon. Hope to hit the water again this Sunday!

    Was on the water Fri by 10:30 or so and stayed out till about 3:30. Lots of fishing boats on the water but did not see a SINGLE net out all day. We threw everything we had at them but did not have a SINGLE takedown. Marked fish from 35 to 50 ft but not many. Great weather, sunny with just a little wind. I guess its always good to get the early season skunk out of the way. Hopefully the the first and last one of the season. I'll be back in a couple of weeks when the water and the bite warms up a bit.

    Hi all, I'm a newbie to the forum.

    Went out Friday (4-1-11) only had one bite in the 5 hours I was out, great day though. Went out again today from about 10:30am - 5pm. Very Cold and windy. Only a handful of boats out. I landed one nice 14.5", and a whitefish (threw it back). had about 3 more strikes but nothing else hooked. Sounds like most are being caught by the dams. I'll try that next time out.

    Born,
    Downriggers were set at 18' and 23'. Found a school of them and just kept driving over them. The other boat by us was also catching fish.
