Baker wasnt very good for a lot of boats this morning. More boats on the lake by 6am than ive ever seen in an place ever before. I saw very few fish caught and the game wardens checked 0 or 1 fish per boat for over 50 boats checked. However, we were weaving inbetween the crowds and doing well. Landed 4, lost 4 and had 6 other hard strikes. Warden said we were the best boat he saw all morning, but i bet some others must have done well somewhere. 30-40 feet with dodger and red hooks tipped with sand shrimp OR Pink Hootchie with shrimp smelly jelly. Had 3 triple headers and lost all but 2 of the 9 fish!!! lol unlucky and several doubles. BITE IS DEAD BY 8AM DEAD! get out early.

Hey Dave, everyone fishing north end as I believe was the case last year? any idea if fish put it in at other end? If u read the other report rseas he did well. Did you see alo of fish on sonar and or surfacing early morn? Why you spose so many of your fish came unbuttoned.

I dont think i let em take it long enough, i finally decided to just let the rod bounce until the clip on the downrigger tripped, then set the hook and had 2 in a row inhale both hooks. But more likely just luck the hooks didnt stick. Early morning i would mark schools and hit doubles, but as the morning went on we caught and saw nothing. All north end around noisy creek.

As far as cell reception, i have verizon so im not sure if u can go by my word, but i had cell reception the whole time! But that doesnt mean itll work on your network so dont take my word for it. lol
