Great Father's Day Fishing trip - Ward Lake

Had a really nice day at Ward Lake (Thurston County).  It is a small lake but with it being Fathers day we figured that the skiers would be out in droves on any other lake.  This lake has a 5mph speed limit.  It was so relaxing.  In a kayak when there are skiers etc. my head is on a swivel every time I hear a boat motor.  But not so here.  The only thing I really had to watch for were swimmers! 

Two of my boys  joined me and we took the Wavewalks in the morning.  We got to the lake and in the water around 8am.  We had limited before noon.  I took off all bait and were fishing C&R till the wives arrived at 12 for lunch.  Fun fish.  The wives got there and we went back out on the water tandem with my wife in the front  fishing and working the downrigger, and me being the trolling motor.  We finished the day with 25 fish between 6 poles!  Fish were smallish with a 12 inches being the biggest, but for their size they still fought like crazy.

Really enjoyed the day!
