Hit baker this morning, on the water in the dark at 4am and started trolling as soon as i could see the rop tip. Within 5 minutes had a fish on and landed, soo after had a double header and got one, then had a triple soon again and landed 1 of those again. Losing too many fish! By then it was about 6am and the bite slowed from what it was and we had a fish about every 45 minutes from then on until we stopped getting bites around 10am and left the lake with 4 fish in the box and 4 other fish on we lost. Too bad coulda limited! Saw quite a few fish taken for how slow people say it has been and only being 7000 in the lake. Best rig was small red smile blade 15 inches behind 0 chrome dodger with shrimp tail on hook, second was a pink hootchie tipped with shrimp. bite is early early early before 6am.

BE CAREFUL ON BAKER

today i dropped my gear back in the water before marking my fish, i was about to mark it after getting one rod back in and an undercover game warden came from a boat with poles and gear and everything and immediately gave me a ticket. Theyre watching in undercover boats so mark your fish immediately
