feeding binge

Hi Folks, Been chasing smallmouth the last couple of days with clients.  Yesterday morning we spin fished a large body of water under foggy conditions.  The water's surface was like glass.  Temperature was 69 degrees and not a breath of wind.  We cast a popper and fire tiger and perch colored floating rapalas to shoreline cover.   We landed well over 20 smallmouth and had as many come to the lure.  The largest fish of the of the day was just shy of 18".  We caught a nice assortment of size ranges.  Most of the fish were holding in relationship to downed wood.  You had to be ready for strike the moment the lure hit the water as the takes were pretty quick.  Really important to eliminate any slack in the line in order to be able to strike the fish on the surface take.  The smallies we have been catching have been stuffed and coughing up an assortment of minnow and crawfish.  Looks like they have been putting in the fed bag.  Looks like a cool down tonight and will be good for our trout streams.  Water levels are still up, but should continually drop over the next few days.  Off to chase smallmouth bass again this morning.  Remember to clean your gear and keep the non-native species at home.  Have Fun, Willy
