fog and fighting bass

Hi Folks, Guided tow aspiring spin anglers yesterday morning for river smallmouth bass.  Wow, the fishing was really good.  Water temperature was 72 degrees and there was a heavy morning fog.  Love the fog this time of year and it keeps the sun of the water for a good portion of the morning.  We moved around the river a bit fishing in 6 different holes and we caught fish in everyone.  Love river bass fishing with ultra light tackle.  5'6" to 6" soft rods with 4lb and 6lb test.  Levels the playing field instead of using the typical heavy gear associated with bass fishing.  We focused on the lower parts of the pools where there is standing wood and or large rocks.  We dead drifted 3" crawfish colored and 3" watermelon Senkos Texas rigged on red Octopus hooks.  Man we could not miss.   Always a good sign for the fishing guide when your guests catch a fish on the first cast of the day.  We landed 13 smallmouth with the largest fish weighing in around 3lbs.  We probably hooked 40 fish and lost quite a few when they jumped.  Lots of tailwalkers.  Really important to set the hook hard when fishing soft plastics.  The fishing was on!!!!!.  Looks like some cooler nights on the horizon.  Will be bass fishing and small stream fishing for trout this weekend.  Remember to clean your gear and keep the non-native species at home.  Have Fun, Willy
