So the kid and I got a late start and had our lines in the water North of the 520 bridge around 9:30am. We were targeting silvers using the same mini hoochie and flasher combo I used yesterday. We ended up getting one silver, a fin clipped jack of about 3 pounds. We also caught and released a fin clipped chinook that went about 2 pounds, one 10" kokanee and couple of small cutts. We also kept a couple of fat 18" cutts that had quite full stomachs one with stickleback and the other with crappie! I didn't post the pics of the fish as I found the cutts feeding habits more interesting. The fish were all caught at 60' throughout the day until we finished at 1:30pm. Most of the fish were caught near Evergreen Point in 80' to 100' feet of water. We did move and try around Sand Point and picked up a small cutt and the kokanee near the NOAA station. The weather was fantastic with a just a light breeze out of the North after the early morning fog burned off.

Thanks for the report, and more thanks for the interesting photos of the crappie. I was out their at 520 on Sat. 3 pm til closing, no luck. Very frustrating/humiliating at some level.

Looks like those fish are coming into the shallows and feeding in the evening possibly?????

RobertW,

The cutts feeding habits remind me of how a shark typically operates. Hang out offshore during the daylight hours and come into the shallows during the low light hours to feed on unsuspecting fish/insects/amphibians/etc. And if the opportunity presents itself, they'll take bite out of anything that comes their way while hanging out in the thermocline.
