5/7/2012 9:32:00 PMDid you see that water skier at 0600? I caught a 12" koke off the sw side of the island at 0620 and nothing but a couple of bites until noon when another 12" koke came aboard on the nw side of the island. Both were on a flatline at 85 feet back (have a line-counting reel). Stuck it out till 1530 without incident. Water temps at 0600 was 54.6 and warmed to 60.1 in areas around the island/boathouse. Things should start popping soon? See you on the water - look for the orange bicycle safety flag on the stern.

5/8/2012 11:06:00 AMDon't know. Tied up some 1/2 wedding rings like Mike makes, 12-14" behind a small dodger, and scented shoepeg. Read an article in Kokanee University where he rigs up a spinner followed by several glass beads and glow beads on wire about 4" long with swivels. He puts this on the reel end of the flasher. He claims the spinner does not constantly rotate because of the waving motion of the dodger and causes the spinner to hit against the glass beads. This creates a close-in attraction noise in addition to the long-distance vibrations of the dodger. I have been using one for several weeks and noticed an increased bite/catch.
