lbc 4/17-18

[The Pew]

After class our group got up early and headed to lbc.

The trip over was a bad start as I aquired a deer for a hood ornament.

Launched at 8 and we had a good bite for an hour horizontal jigging at the point just outside Perry south

After lunch we caught a few vertical jigging by the no wake buoys.

At dark we had a lights out bite inside the Perry south cove. Fish hitting every cast for some of us. We finished the day with 20 ranging from 9-12 inches.

Fishes the same spots this morning and had 8 before we had to leave at 11:00

Pink/white jigs caught the fish.

Water temp at the surface was 48 in the morning and 53 by the afternoon.

Thanks for the great report Larry! Good to see you and the awesome fisherwife, Cecily again! Did she outfish you?

Thanks for the report, I was a little worried because we hit a couple spots down the arm for an hour on Sunday morning as a recon mission for the upcoming kokanee derby and got only 1 bite. I thought if we went up we could have caught fish but the kids then wanted to fish for bass. We threw a few grubs around the island and then ran up the crooked river arm. The water up there was a mess tons of floating debris loads of weeds and the water itself was a really gnarly brown color, and at 52 degrees I was not surprised that we got three bumps and no hook-ups.

Yes as usual I was out fished.

I should have added we trolled for 2-3 hours without a hit. Had the surface to 80 feet covered.

The no wake buoys I was referring to are the ones by the homes on the metolius arm. The best bite there was at the buoy the farthest from the homes in 40-50 feet of water with corn on the jig.
