So today I find out at 6:30am that I do no get to go to work Friday night. My blood begins to boil. The thoughts of seeing Paul’s kokes from down south and the reports from friends closer to home. First stop is to get a new license. And then home, on the way call my partner in crime to see if he wants’ to take the boat out. I feel crushed when he tells me he is going to go fish the Cowlitz. About 30min. later my phone rings, he had a change of mind. I'm thinking sweet, but first things first. Home I go and with some negotiation with the wife I get the green light. Drop the youngest off at Uncles house to go camping and the to the store. This seems to be taking forever! At least I bought myself a six pack.....Not bad at 92 centcs a can!

Back home to unload and load up bait and gear. We I get to my buddies he all hooked up and ready................sweet! We launched at American a little before noon, are the fish guna bite? After all one of my hommies was out earlier and had three hook-up's. I hope for just a few chances at some koke's and I would be happy. The lake is like glass, overcast, low clouds, and just a sprinkle. But first thing I notice before we launch is fish on the surface. After running the big motor for a bit after it's long winter's nap the skipper pick's a starting location. I begin the process of setting up. I deploy the skip's rod first. Thirty five pulls out and I turn my head to ask the skip how deep he wants it, even tho it's not on the rigger yet. Before I could get the words out of my mouth I feel a hard yank..............yank. Bam! I yell "fish on". Skip say's "what?" I repeat myself. He say's "no way!" I tell him to come get his rod. And so it begins.

Over the next two hours we have a blast, and also pick up the skip's brother. I also had a potential thief, and let me tell ya this dude got real close!

I could not believe I almost crackered a fish by bird. We went 15-19, and I will admit 3 of the lost fish was by me. We also had three fire drills, that mean's doubles! Not bat for two hours of fishing!

So you may be asking "what were you using? How deep were you?"
I'll tell ya:

Bahama mama dodger
Pink uv squid 12"-14" leader
Pink uv apex
Pink wedding ring w/silver blade
DNA white shoepeg corn and pink gulp maggots
35 pulls back 7'-8' down
or flat line 45-50 pulls back

FISH ON!!!!!

On a side note, if this makes no sense at all, please cut me some slack I have been up for 24 hours. I'm guna go drool on my pillow now!

Great report, wild with the fish so close to the surface, but even when we've marked and caught fish at 45 ft. at American, with a flatlined 3rd rod off the back and a silver little cleo that rod produced as much as the downriggers! Glad to see such good fishing so early in the year. Bob R

Great report KK.

He tried to make me jealous to but I like to get fishing texts while I work. It is like watching Hawg Quest when I can't fish.
