opening weekend is the only time of year that there's any real fishing pressure on the lakes around here in lacey. however, i still like heading out because of tradition and just to see the antics of all the guys that don't have a clue.

i just make sure to get there before sunrise to beat the crowds of guys who launch their boat twice a year, or leave the plug out, or forget to put fresh gas in the tank. i can't say i've ever had a bad opener!
