Me and the wife set out on Saturday to do some fishing at RV, when we got there, the wind was NASTY, and it was cold, but the diehards we are, we launched the boat and headed out for some Lakers. Not as bad as you would think, we were dressed right, and kept warm all day. Picked up a small Rainbow, and 3 Lakers, and lost another 3 bringing them to the boat. We are always catch and release, but WOW, these Lakers are sooo good to eat, they made the trip to the frying pan. The BOW was released back to the water. All caught on artificial baits.

Great catching!

I hear keeping lakers that size is encouraged.

Hope you make it out when it's a bit warmer this weekend.

Yes you are correct, that's basically your cookie cutter laker in RV. the limit on them is 6 per person, and 1 24"+. Yea, I smell some warm weather in a couple days. Sorry Ice guy's, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

LOL, I'm still all about the Bass, but it's nice to switch it up. Considering how HARD the lakers fight. Very fun !!
