Perfect day on my favorite lake. And the quality of fish was out of this world. (That's a 3lb 10 oz beauty in the pic) I had a hard time picking my Hot Bait for this report, because there were several. But I rarely tie on a spinner bait...which may change after this day. I went from point to point until I would see a pinned up school of kokanee up against a point, hit my spot lock and start hauling them in. Usually about 40 feet deep and as soon as my bait would hit the bottom, I would slowly twitch/jerk it back and I would hook up on every other cast. It was fast and furious for about 15 minutes and then they would disperse... then the search was on for the next school. Fantastic day!!!

I hesitated to come back so soon after last weeks epic day, trying not to be disappointed. And although today wasn't quite as good, it was still an amazing day and I think I'm onto a pretty good pattern. The spotties are definitely in gorge mode. I was able to locate certain points where they had pushed a school of kokanee up against the point at about 40 feet deep and they were feasting. I would drop the spinnerbait to the bottom and slow roll it in from there. It's definitely where the larger spots can be found. Water temp is dropping pretty fast.

Took the W on this pond. Never fished it before but was rather easy to figure this place out. Right now the pattern is changing daily and throughout the day so you just have to adapt and keep moving. Start out on points, Move to secondary points, cuts, creeks, ditches, clay, isolated rock etc. Try it all until you find the better bite. Right now there is not a lot of fish up shallow. Most fish are deep or suspended. Getting a fish over 1.5lbs is very hard. 1-1.5lbs is good. You can even still get a topwater bite going if you want. Your best bet to get a big bite is to fish dangerously (to the fish's health) deep 50-80+ or to target suspended fish in open water. That being said I targeted my fish in the mornings with moving baits. Cranking with a 10-15' diver, X-Nanahan +2 and throwing a spybait or small swimbait when I saw fish suspended. Once the sun came up and the fish pulled out I decided to keep fishing the 0-30' range with a hula grub. As the day progressed I switched to isolated stumps with the hula grub and occasionally would mix in the spy bait and neko rig. The biggest fish came on the spybait. My rods of choice were a variety of ALX rods
