Took my wife to Loon last night for "Date Nite". Stopped on the way and had a gourmet Meal (hamburger) and then off to fishing. It was a nice evening with lite wind and of course no skiers since it was dark. Put out the lights, fired up the Coleman gas lantern baited up and my wife caught the first fish, well almost. It had been since last year and it took a while to get the hang of flipping those spunky silvers in the boat! The bite started about 10:30 and was very lite...those silver "gohsts" one WL guy called them.

Finished the Friday limit(20) about 11:50 PM, had our lunch/snack break and fished Saturday AM for the Saturday limit finishing about 1:30 AM. Fun night with my wife; we had a blast as always!

Fish are cleaned and ready for brine, then off to the smoker. Family and friends love to share the smoked kokanee and they won't last long. Shucks guess we'll have to get some more!!

Tight Lines,
Alan

Downriggeral, a friend and I did the same thing the fourth while we wached the firworks and friday am. We wnet nack and did it again sat eve and sunday am. It was fun and tricky, as always. It is one of my favorite past times. I even enjoy saying dangit when I miss one. Note: we found larger fish a litttle deeper then anyone else was fishing.

Thanks Soberg, We didn't get as many of the 12's as I would have liked, but hey we had a ball as usual. No one seems to understand (that doesn't do it) why it's so much fun to catch the little slim rockets. I even had one jump higher than the gunnel on the 18' Starcraft!
How deep were you fishing if I may ask?
