lots of casting

Hi Folks, Guided with spin gear from the boat yesterday morning for smallmouth bass.  Nice heavy morning fog with flat calm conditions.  Rather cool air temperatures that required some warm clothes until the sun burned through the fog.  Surface temperature of the water was 74 degrees.  We covered a lot of water and made a lot casts.  We found active smallmouth on 15' deep flats that had rubble and wood on them.  A slowly moved crawfish colored 4" Senko worked really well.  The largest fish of the day was a nice 17.5" jumping smallie.  We landed over a dozen fish with some nice 1.5lb to 2lb bass putting put in the boat.  The bass fishing over the last month has been fantastic.  Love the different methods in which these fish can be caught.  I will be chasing smallmouth from the boat again tomorrow.  Remember to clean your gear and keep the non-native species at home.  Have Fun, Willy
