Well all indications are that I am back at it again, zigging when I should be zagging. On the water at Lincoln around 8:30 and went right down to Keller hunting Kokanee. Did one pass from below the ferry down to the South Wall and only had one bite that was a not so big rainbow. Headed up to above Hanson Harbor and made one pass there and were blanked so we went back up to the Sterling Point area where I felt we should at least be able to get into some decent Rainbow action but that didn't pan out either. Marked very few fish the whole trip and wound up with 3 fish to the boat and one of those was a real goof ball fish. It had a fin, but I doubt that it was actually wild and it had a very recessed , almost none existent lower jaw. I wish we would have take a picture but since it had a fin (of sorts) we were trying to get it back in the water without handling it much. In it's favor it did fight well and that was the one my Grandson caught. So it was just one of those nice days on the water for us.
We'll be back.
