I met my brother, Richard, at the launch at 6am. But he got there a little after 5am. Just before I got there a guy with a Boston whaler type boat tried to launch. He was still there when I arrived but parked with the boat in the overload trailer area. Anyway as he started to launch, my brother thought that he might be handicapped because he was shaky when he got out of the vehicle to go to the back and push the boat off. He ended up falling over the trailer tongue with his but up in the air and his head under water. My brother grabbed him and got him out of the water. The guy was wasted! He mentioned he shouldn’t have partied the night before...ya think! Richard got my net and scooped up his phone and the credit cards that were in the lake. Gave them to him where he was trying to warm up in his truck. He left by the time I got ready and launched.

Kokanee_Slayer was there early and left quickly with his limit!

I had tied up 2 new lures to try. Gave one to my brother and he had a trout on in 2 minutes of putting it in the water by the launch. I used the other new lure and hooked fish, too. Of course I was still using those AWESOME Dick Nite dodgers in Pink Splatter and Watermelon. I even gave my brother a Watermelon dodger to use, also. He had just been using a 1/4 oz weight and the lure. We hooked many fish, several jumped and got off. He put on a 1/2oz weight and switched to a Bloody Mary and caught some more.

It was a good day of hooking and we did get our limit but a lot got off, mostly when they jumped. They were all in the 10-11 inch size. We were out there a little under 4 hours but about 45 minutes was waiting to get into the launch and then take the boat out. The sun was shining and there wasn’t a breeze. The forecast for today was 82.
