Fisherpete Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 Well, my laker curse has finally been broken on closing day (March 15th, 2009). Thanks to the advice of a really nice guy named Lawrence who I met on the Simcoe board and then out on the lake, and the use of an ultralight setup with nothing more than a splitshot and minnow on 4lb line, I finally managed to get my first few lakers on closing day. Brought my son Nick - oops I mean Fishernick - out with me and he shared my fun day, although he is more of a perch guy (needs constant action to not get bored out there). The weather was beautiful, the company was good, what more can a guy ask for! Maybe it is the new auger... I haven't been skunked yet since getting it, and have had my best days for both whities and lakers! GCD - for the tourney, do we measure the fish from nose to the fork or to the tip of the tail? The bigger Laker was 22.5" nose to tip, 22" nose to fork. HEY - that 1/2" might matter in the end LOL! The pics... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeytier Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 Nice going. I didn't catch a single laker all season. Just whities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cudz Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Hey That smaller fish your son is holding. That doesn't really look like a laker. It almost looks like a hybrid of some kind. Maybe it is just young. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 I'm glad you did well Fisherpete. As you know we did not and were only sitting a few yards from you Hope the minnows came in handy, cause they did squat for me Nice fish, glad you son enjoyed himself. Couldn't have asked for a better day out there. Joey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fisherpete Posted March 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 There we go... new logo in place. Cudz - I thought the smaller one looked a little different too, the markings on the top were really nice - but like you said, maybe just the markings of a young'un...
