Comment: Yeah, that's true. I tend to be adapt my method more often than what it is should be. But it is almost never fail on me lately. so, I think it is must be luck involved this.

Comment: lol well it was right place at right time in the right conditions. we were in a great spot with the wind blowing directly towards us so the planktons got blown our way which made the smelts follow and the lakers followed the smelts right to the shore we were fishing and having a big ol pike shiner struggling out there was like an open invite to a hungry laker looking for something to stand out of the crowd of smelts lol. havent cought a laker since hahaha

Comment: on opening day i got all my lakers on pike shiners with a 3 foot leader under a bobber lol. i was bottom fishing for about 45 minutes with no hits and decided to change it up so i threw on a bobber and quickly ran out of bait from all the lakers destroying my pike bait lol.

Comment: I've been thinking about going medium shiner and smaller weight I think that extra distance and make it easier to set hook.

Comment: Yeah, I was using medium shiners while I seen whole crowds using large or extra large shiners. and I was using light sinker as possible meanwhile cast that far. Maybe that might help you? only time will tell.

Comment: Well my leader was a little short but changed it later maybe to late.I've had plenty of bites there.Had one pull all the string off my real just have had trouble hooking them.Not used to the huge weights and fishing off bottom with live bait not my usual methods ha ha but I will get the hang of it.This old dog can be taught new tricks just takes him a little longer to master them.You very rarely get non stop action so you have to make your bites count and you certainly did that!

Comment: badlarry - yeah, I couldn't believed that you haven't get laker out of chu yet. But man, one day, laker will meet his fate on your hook! I used 2-3 feet long from hook to sinker. probably that is reason why I caught laker. But I can't really say it because it was my first time out there. plus, yeah, we need to get together again and fish there. It was fun though.

Comment: aem1031 - yeah, me too. I thought exactly same after first laker. But I was surely mistaken about that. Next time will do!

Comment: Muskiebigfish - Oh yeah! I definitely got res bug for sure! Now, I have high hope to catch bigger one than ever! Now, I am surely understand how this res produced lot of trophy size fish. Only drawback about this res, It is freakin an hour and half for me to drive! But well worth it if I caught something out of this!

Comment: It was great meeting you guys. With all the bites we had, I thought we would have had more to show for it. Glad deaffisherman got his 1st Laker. Looking forward to the next outing!

Comment: Sounds like has the Res Bug hahahahaha

Comment: Yeah! sure! I'm all up for it. I was thinking to go fish for carp in early morning then go chu for sally. Since I saw some report that they caught many sally on last Sunday. Nothing on sat. So, I guess we fished on wrong day that bass are filled their belly.

Comment: Lol yeah I figured paper would be easier on both of us cause I don't always pronounce words correctly so lip reading me is probably hard lol. Yes next time we hammer em hard. Go after sally smallmouth next time for a double date.

Comment: Bassinbroosky - yeah, it was nice to have fully understand of communicate on pen/paper. (when I am trying to lip-reading, I usually can't get them all words. so, I tried to puzzling words together to become a sentence. That way, I can able to understand most people what they are trying to say. But sometimes, I just can't figure it out.) But you was gladly to use on pen/paper. I was happy with that. Also, next time, we better be kick fish's butt for sure!
