Today was a 50/50 day. 50/50, not all bad not all good..
I got up to the alarm and made it to American Lake (6am) before Kokanee Kid. I launched, parked my vehicle, went back to my vessel, stepped to the back of the boat and found water coming in. There was even a small amount of current there. I went back to get the trailer and loaded up.

I texted The Kid to say I had a problem and was leaving. He called me back, asking me aboard the ride he was going in. The Fish Whisperer Hewes. Oh, what a nice rig.

The Kid got the first fish and biggest. After that I was in trouble. The Kid was verbally abusive when I wasn’t catching as many fish or as fast as him. But on the other hand he took his rod out of the water so I could catch up. All the time asking me what was wrong with me. I stink!
I did get to leave with my limit of big (bigger than Clear Lake) kokanee and with a truly grateful heart for The Kid and the Fish Whisperer who picked up a stranded boater. Every one got limits. We weren’t the only ones getting fish.

I used all sorts of lures with a Bahama Mama. Not one out producing another.

I came home and found that there was a large crack at the back of the boat and 2 other small ones toward the front. I give thanks to my son Bo for finding them. Now comes the end of my 4 day weekend...fixing holes!

Wow, Talk about ups and downs! Sorry about your boat, glad you got to fish. Good luck with the repairs Toni.

Nice shot of that eagle! When I fished there on saturday, the eagles were everywhere, and they were sure getting a meal out of the rising trout.

Hey Toni,

Is that you and the Kokanee Kid that we gave bottom walkers (aka bottom bouncers) to after we got done kokanee fishing and started perch fishing? Nice to meet you guys. Followed the Kid for years on this site. I am aka as HookSetter here and elsewhere. Had to change the nick to reflect fishing with my beautiful Wife Lizzie. Nice to meet you guys. Hope to see you in the future. PM me if you need help with the worm harness we were using for perch.
