First trip out to Baker was a bummer. On the water before light, gear down and untouched for 4 hours. Had one on about 8am shake off, 11am had one on that broke the leader. That's what I get for using last years leaders. Both at 45 feet.

Fished 25-70 feet, with 6 rods and that was it. Souder is in the shop, so no radar, but the consensus was that 45 was the depth. Water is a bathtub! Friggin warm, like 65-68 degrees on the surface. Using raw shrimp, after a pass it came up cooked.

Both fish hooked off the point on the west side of noisy creek. Not very productive for others as well, only saw 6 or 7 fish netted all day. We hit both sides of the lake equally hard.

And it rained! Who would have thought that the one day we get to go camping in the middle of a heat wave would be a monsoon. Argh. Next time.
