Spent the weekend on the lake and didn't see much action. First time in 30 years I have not taken at least one limit if not limited the boat. We were using Jack Lloyd flahers with a wedding ring. A small piece of worm and tipped with white shoepeg corn (which has always been a producer) showed slow results. Fishing anywhere from 10ft to 30 ft we only caught a few small kokes and did end up with one 15 inch cutthroat. No chance to set Burbot lines as the trot line gear was forgotten at home.
I am unsure of why the fishing was so slow but the fishfinder was showing the water to be littered with schools of kokes and yet no action seen.
Still a fun weekend with lots of time for playing in the water pulling the tube and playing on the wakeboard. Next time will take up on of the RC Float planes and get in a little play with those also.
Funny things is........... The Lake is still at full capacity and they have not released any water but have lowered Lake Kacheelus a bunch. This is different than what I have seen in the past. Ususlly by the end of August Kachees is down a fair amount and boat camping spots open up which makes for some great shore fishing for us.
Will try again in a couple of weeks ( I have a season pass for parking at the boat ramp at the kachees campground so will need to get at least 3 more trips in to make it pay for itself.
