Sure love fishing at at night during July! Got on the water with my brother in law Dan just before dark and motored down to the Granite Point end of the lake. Lots of rigs in the parking lot, seems like someone said something about kokanee? Last night was awesome with a full moon and pleasant evening temps. As it cooled a jacket was even in order....what a change from the 98 degree daytime heat!

Saw Brisco and said hello and my friend Brick was parked close the "spot" with his son. Anchored in 32' water over the "X" I have in the bottom of the lake ( just ask my grandson he almost believed me!). Got all set up and had the first three pieces of corn stolen without hooking a fish. I took a while for the lake to settle down from all of the water activities of the day; hard to tell what was a bite and the boat just bouncing around, or am I getting slow? Brother in law got the first one in the boat about 9:45. The bite started later this evening, maybe the full moon? The bite was very lite and sometimes I caught them just hanging on the line as the tip would get "heavy". There were some real rocket ships last night....what a hoot as they jump higher than the side of the boat! Yes you could hear the laughter coming from the boats; these fish are fun to catch!!

Finished out our second limit (two day possession) about 1:30 AM Saturday morning. Maggots and pink shoepeg corn were the ticket for beautiful kokanee 11 to 12". They are growing fast now.

FishDawg is coming over next weekend; can hardly wait....we will have a blast!

Tight lines everybody - Alan
