John caught the first kokes and we caught a few cutts before we reached the rest of the fishing fleet. We caught more cutts up to 20" and two more kokes up to 17" before we came by close to Robert(liketrolling), Kent and one other guy, at that point they had 2 kokes. We picked one my koke and that was it for the day. We kept catching cutts but that really slowed down after noon.
It was great fishing with a couple BFT legends, they put up with my minor battery issue, otherwise we may have gotten a couple more Kokes. I left my downriggers plugged in from my last trip and they drained my starter and accessories batteries that lost us a half hour of prime time fishing. Curt’s Kokanee was funny, both Brookie and I kept seeing one of Curt’s rods bounce and pointed it out to him several times until he finally picked it up saying the bounce didn’t seem like a Koke and both Brookie and I responded, you can’t catch Kokanee if you have a cutt on, you might as well check it. Turned out it was a Koke that didn’t wake up until it saw the boat. I’m looking forward to putting this tough Koke Season to bed. I do plan hitting the berry this fall to jig for cutts.
