laker opener

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

laker opener

Post by steve_rauch »

it's been a long time since i have posted anything here. Things have been very busy and fishing has been to kept to a dull roar. With lakes opening I made sure i was going.
up at the crack of 4am and off i went.
I started jigging before the wind kicked up and had 2 short bites before 630
Decided to put a downrigger out and away to the races.. kept busy all day with a few 2-4 pounders. The best part.. was able to set the hook on a solid fish and pass the rod to my son who landed his first laker....after a few tense moments next to the boat :lol: :lol:
wind and freezing temperatures were no match for a great day !!

Some nice ones Steve. Was wondering on Saturday what the laker bite might have been like for the opener.
