Finally got the motivation up to launch the Kayak and do some fishing on Empire Lake(upper). 3-4 pound brooders getting stocked hepled with the motivation factor. It was sunny when i got to Empire lake, i launched in shorts and a T-shirt, and of course my life jacket. Ten minutes later it was windy and raining, then it would stop and start again. Did this all day pretty much but the fishing was good so it didn't bother me too much. Caught 3 19 inchers and 1 18 incher, kept two to throw on the barbie tomorrow.

Racked up some good points and had a great time. Heres a little video of one i released, don't blink or you'll miss when the fish is actually in the frame:

See ya on the water..

Nice Roy, those are about twice the size of the ones I've caught so far this year.

Nice fish Roy!  What did you pick them up on?
