Title: Baker Lake Sockeye 2024
Post by: 3nails on June 29, 2024, 12:29:45 PM: Opener is just a week away. Hopefully some big numbers start showing up. Anyone planning on going? We will be camping at Swift and Park for a couple of weeks.

Post by: Irish_hunter93 on July 04, 2024, 09:04:13 PM: Yeah, it was the end of our day pretty quickly! She didn't stun the fish when she hit it in the head, flopped around, trailing hook caught her in the Achilles! told her she's a real hooker now! 😅 she was a good sport about it :chuckle:

Post by: high_hunter on July 05, 2024, 08:15:09 AM: Oh no for your wife! :sry: Yeah bet that ended the day ASAP. Good luck this weekend with her and the little one. Got that extra limit on board I see :chuckle:

Numbers weren't great but according to my neighbor who works at Upper Damn, they should get a few truckloads into the lake today.

Post by: RB on July 05, 2024, 05:25:36 PM: I don't see the link for the 2024 count on how many have been trucked to the lake, am I missing something?

Post by: 3nails on July 07, 2024, 01:24:51 PM: Had 8 in the boat yesterday by 6 30. Heat drove us off the lake today at 9 with zero fish in the boat. Methinks most of the biters were caught yesterday. Still pretty low numbers in the lake. We hardly marked any fish today either.
