This was my first trip to clear this year, and was excited and hoping to catch my first koke. I wanted to try out my dual rod holder on the downrigger. It's also my first year for a 2 pole tag. Well I tell ya, stacking requires a lot more physical motion than I was ready for at 7:00am. After realizing how it works, I finally started catching fish, but couldn't put them in the boat. I lost 3 fish trying to net them at the boat. So I sat down to figure out what I was doing wrong. then it hit me, why am I netting a 10 inch fish. The next 3 fish were safely in the live well. All in all, I had a lot of fun. I caught 3 trout, and 2 kokes. I was at the west end, but did better on the south side. The line was 11 and 21ft, in 50-60 ft of water. Later in the day I dropped to 20 and 30ft on the line. I lost 3 fish while reeling in, I lost 3 kokes at the net, and put 5 in the live well. I started out with d.n. pink splatter dodger with bloody mary on one pole and d.n. chart hot head with orange thing (because I like the fire tiger blade) on the other. I also used pink splatter squiddy thing,and pink ice. They were all tipped with shoepeg corn, with either garlic or anise scent. I left at 11:15 all tuckered out.
