7/1/2010 1:46:00 PMMy fishing buddy were out there the following night. It was only my second time out for kokanee, whereas he's fished them for years. It was a full moon for us, too, but the fish didn't seem to mind. IMO, we were on their schedule and just had to wait them out. Between 9:00 and midnight we only got 2 kokes, a couple small tigers and 2 beautiful 13" crappies. Very slight takes during this period as schools came through but we couldn't hook up. At about 2:30 A.M. it started. Tons of action on the fish finder and fish that would hold long enough for some hook-ups. Being new to this I struggled, getting only 3 kokanee out of easily 30 takes, but my buddy got after them, getting a dozen by himself. Most were nicer fish like the ones in you pictured. Oh yeah, we didn't have a net either but will definitely take one next time! They go crazy at the boat!

Thanks for your comments. It sounds like waiting it out paid off for you guys. I'll definitely try to stay out there longer next time and either find the schools of fish or wait for the bite. I know it can be a ferocious bite once you get over a school of kokanee!
