We are getting close for our annual trip to Trader's Bay, be up May 21st. The week between the opener and Memorial Day weekend always works best for us.

The fishing was fantastic last year, hoping for the trend to continue (has been better every year for the last 4). We will definitely try our spots from last year again (Stoney, Trader's, Otter and the HoneyHole). We limited every day in those 4 spots. I bet we had a dozen over the slot, which mostly got put back, so we know they are a bit bigger.

This will be 14th year overall. The last 4 years have brought back a lot of good memories from when I was a kid (did 10 straight from 7 to 17, then came back 20 years later), now ready for my first trip in my 40's. I hope to have my son up within a few years and continue the trend.

Good Luck to all for the opener this year (and leave some for us).
