I think Turner Gulch is steeper and will be the next choice. We pulled off this AM at the dam but could see a real "Cluster F)&(&)" over on the ramp with bunches of folks parked on the ramp and some idiot just sitting there ..... decided to go on to Spring Shores where there seems to be a bit more intelligent group of boaters... or at least more polite and respectful of other boaters.
Caught 3 nice sized Kokes and a very nice Rainbow (hooked bad so we kept it) ... right at Goose Neck bay ... all the fish right off the point there. 20 feet deep with down riggers .. flashers and green hoochie.
Do they still charging fee to launch your boat at@ Spring Shores?
We fished in LP yesterday Wed 9/28/16. It was windy in the morning and we were there about 9:30 AM, launched the boat no problem. The boat dock wasn't lay in the center of the ramp so one side is narrower that caused backup boat trailer is more challenging. When we quit fishing and were at the ramp at 3:15 PM to load the boat, woa! that boat ram was busy. Boater load and unload just try on wider side that caused jam and delay. There were more unload than load...When I got my turn to dock my boat on load side and go get my truck, there were an other boater try to unload his wav boat on a load side close to my boat, after 10 minutes then his girlfriend waiting few more minutes, she thought I'll move my truck to give her more room to go upward. There were an other boat on front of me I could go anywhere. She had enough room to squeeze it through but was worry she might scratch a nice truck , finally she drove upward. I load my boat up and I look at my watch, it took al most 25 minutes (I wait on my truck 15 minutes). Later my wife told me the guy instructed her to move my boat out so he can unload his, she told him unload on the other side, this side is for loading, then he said she should drive the boat out in the water and wait until your husband take the trailer down...She said I don't know how to control the boat, unload on the other side and load on this side...
This morning I called Park & Waterways to request their people who taking care of the temporary boat dock that need to be move to the West? about 2' then that boat dock will be more helpful. Officer said she will forward a request to personal in charge.
We caught 7 good size Kok, 1 -15" rainbout, released 2 - 13" rainbow, 3 Chinnok, 2 Squaw fish between Charcoal and Gooseneck Bay. DR 10 ~ 25'. Long line pole 1.1/2 oz lead + Ford fender + Kokabow Kesterl, 62' line. Blue/ silver dodger + pink squid and shoepeg corn.
