Have you tried the cocktail shrimp on kokanee? I haven't fished baker for several years, but when I did, I used to get a lot of small kokanee 8" or so when fishing for reds as the sun got higher in the sky. Just curious as I sit hear watching fishing on TV and living with my fate. Time cures all evils. Hopefully I will be back on the water for pinks and silvers.

Well all went to Down hill. Actually it was a good trip in that we made it home safe, though a week and a half early.
engine in mororhome started giving trouble. I got that fixed though blew a hole in the exhaust with a bckfire. The unit sounded a bit like a shovel harley. Rested up then headed out fishing the next day. About six mile from the dock, the rotation spindal system got very stiff and the stearing gear broke only alowing stearing to the left. after many archs, and hand turning the motor then arching left we got back to the dock and brought the boat into the marina and dock using the trolling motor. It was a no fix deal. Exhausted, we decided to cut our losses and head home. we gave ourselves a day of rest to pack and load everything including the boat. Another trip about a mile to the boat ramp, this time alone. I disconnected the stearing and sat in the engine well using my body much like a tiller pulling and pushing against the motor. Allas the boat is loaded. All is rready to go. I would like to sy tht was the end of things, but NO!! Murphy was still with us. Just as we got onto th I 90 bridge at about 3:30 pm the belt broke on the hydrolic break and stearing pump. I muscled the stearing and used the hand break to get us across the bridge, through the tunnel and and to the neest off ramp. The first spot we could pull off was a Marajuana Story parking lot. That was followed by a nightmare with "Sam's Auto" . To shorten things up. Following them sending a tow truck that looked like it was designed to tow nini cars after multiple calls and repeatedly advising them I was in a class A motorhome towing a 23 foot boat and trailer rig, we finally got the proper tow, but it took some real effort for the driver to take just one person. There were two of us and this was at 10 p.m. At any rate we got home sometime around 1 or 2 a.m. The only really friendly people we ran into were the panhandlers that approached us and an employee at the pot shop. The owner was being a Jack A**. At least the employee told us to be very carefull if we had to spend the night as it was a dangerous place after dark. Bottom line: We got home safe and uninjured and Sam's did get our rigs home eventually unstripped and unpainted with gang grafitti.
