Who needs a specific day to fish?! Year round lakes rock! :Pyeah year round lakes rock but some people have been fishing the same lakes on the opener for a long time. Kinda like tradition now.

I completely understand that. I was lucky enough to live on a year round lake growing up, fished it last week for the first time in years and had a great time.
I remember when I was young, opening day on Haven Lake at my grandparents place. My buddy and I would always have a great time out there and have some pics to remember it by.
Good luck everyone! :)

We went to Jameson for about 10 years in a row. We stopped going about 3 years ago. The fishing just got terrible.

It's gorgeous, just getting real crowded. Hopefully gas prices will keep a few people off the lake this year. Is it bad to wish that? :chuckle:

My daughters were dead on their feet by the time the Lions Club had their drawing, after not winning anything, I said it was time to go home, but they still wanted to stay (even though they could not even keep their eyes open).
I promised to bring them back Sunday, so they reluctantly got in the truck.
Sunday morning was much the same, except 3 boys next to us wanted the little ones we had been releasing, we ended up with our 1 (17") and losing 3-4 again, and gave the boys 10 fish and some bait (they started catching their own) then went home and got Mom and my son, back for a picnic dinner (Jack in the Box) and 3 more little ones, my 19 month old son even got to help reel in his first fish !!
I have to say a great couple days on the lake with the girls, constant action on little (9-12") with a triploid every 6 0r 7 fish, most getting off at the shore, for some reason could not get them hooked very well. (ever tried to explain to a 5 year old how to "set the hook" ?) would have been a real short couple days fishing if we would have kept all fish, yes I know they are supposed to count towards limit when using bait, but even the Warden at the lake (actually was 3 that I know of, well 2 and a Bio) did not care.

Yes, she actually did that both days, but yesterday she actually kept it in the water ! LOLShe came up by my Daughter and myself just as she caught her last fish of the day and we were getting ready to take off. She did make sure to put it in the water, lol. I told her that was a dandy, she game me a smile as we were headed out. Small world.

Sunday was the only decent day we've had. It's been sunny and getting warmer though so hopefully the snow melts off soon and the wind stops.
