Went out fishing with my Wife and Father in law! It was an overcast day, water around 50 degrees, fish rising everywhere. Started out as the only boat, however later three others showed up. We were the only ones bottom fishing it looked like. everyone else trolling. We all limited out, we were using power eggs/bait. limited out means we strictly caught 5 EACH, left 5 go un harmed and safe! Kept 10. Using Bait limiting out means whether you keep or release, it's 5 a day PERIOD. Kind of touchy for me as I roll up on some lakes and see dead fish in the water from anglers releasing the smaller ones they caught on bait, however seeing their stringer's still full and still over the limit! It was a beautiful day though! My wife started us out as usual, catching a nive 12 incher...then I followed. My father in lay has having the fish toy with his hook! He could get one to the boat for the longest time, however he finally started nailing them! it was a good time. Tight lines everyone...and obey the regs! It only helps all other anglers alongside fishing next to you!

Yep! 5 only people, released or not! I myself like clipping my barbs,And I don t like using bait when small fish are present..You can't release fish safely with your bait deep down their throat!

only five fish is great. I will have my pliers ready so when i catch a fish i just pull it out of the water and pop it of with out touching it or bringing it the boat. I hate seeing dead fish all over too. I saw guys at Whitman trolling worms only, letting the fish flop in the boat, then ripping the hook out, before throwin them back. Good report though, ill be there thurs.

WOZDOG is exactly right about the bait down the throat issue. Nice work on 12 lake. I've been out there 4 times already this year with no luck.
