Took a new Koke fisherman to Strawberry this a.m., lines in water 0645....wasn't sure where to start, as the past few weeks haven't given me any pattern....so we started where I'd gotten 2 this past Monday, near the mouth of the Old Dam....zilch, except a couple little cutts, and 1 baby koke, that I hope will visit me again in 2 years....we headed North, and slowly got 2 pink stage 17/18"ers....then I headed back South again, thinking there should be something again by that opening to the Old Dam....nadda....shudda stayed North, and that's where most of the fleet was....we slowly got back, catching 5 or 6 very large cutts between 40 to 45' down, and about 1030 we hit a small willing group of kokes, each of us again getting a larger 17/18"er....so we were both happy with 2 larger pink stage kokes, some very nice, released, cutts, and a pleasant boat ride on the Berry.... good to (almost) run into LikeTrolling out there....
