Great day on the water. The sun was out, and all the wake boarders/jet ski'ers didn't seem to get the memo. Used the usual...4/0 dodger, wedding rings, corn. All rods were flat lined about 50 pulls back. Had plenty of fish on, but couldn't seem to get them all to the boat. Action wasn't red hot, but it was consistent enough to get a 4 rating. Final tally on the day was 7 in the cooler. The gf was happy to get in on the koke action again. Couldn't have asked for much more. Tight lines.

Nice fish gfakkema! Was out on Meridian on Sat, just posted about it. Couldn't get into decent sized koks but still a fun day! Will try it again, liked the lake.

@jd39: If there are decent sized kokes in Meridian, I haven't seen them yet.

@Mike: All the fish (kokes) that I have pulled seem to be in the 8"-10" range. They are overly abundant in the lake right now. Have been out 4 times in the last few weeks and have had no problem getting a limit, with about 20-30 fish on throughout the day. Trying to get them out now so the remaining can get nice and fat. I think that it's weird that they planted 10,000 bows last month, and I've only got 2 or 3. Pretty much every fish on has been a koke.

How deep and what type of rig are you using. I don't have a down rigger and have been trolling dodgers with worms,lures, and roe. I've had little luck. Pretty much tiny koks and a few trout. I'm usually catching them at 15 ft. Any suggestions?

I've been using a variety of dodgers, all 4/0, with wedding rings on a 10"-14" leader. No weight or down rigger, just flat lined about 50 pulls back from the boat. I use shoe peg corn (from a can found at almost any grocery store) on a double whammy wedding ring. Hint: pink splatter dick night dodger (4/0) has by far been the best producer for kokes. All the kokes this time of year have been fairly small, 8"-10".
