Ira and I got up to the Nelle this morning and met Liketrolling at the ramp at 6:30. We headed over between the dam and the pwc ramp. Things started off slow but after a couple of laps around that area we manage 5 bows, we moved over toward the cliffs and again it was slow but we picked up 5 more bows here and there but only one at a time, with the biggest being right around 18". We finally decided to move again and as we moved by an area close to shore, we finally found a group of biters, a brown, a koke and another bow, right in a row. We stayed in that area until 1pm, picking up two or three more bows, then called it a day. Wish there was better news on the kokes but last year started off slow too, so hopefully the koke catching will pick up as the water warms. Water temp was 42 to 44 degrees. We used a wide color range of squids and even an apex lure. All fish were caught between 5 and 20 ft down on riggers and side planers. Thanks Robert for another great day of fishing, hope to do it again soon, hopefully the next trip will be at the Berry.
