Fantastic

Hi Folks, Put in a full day yesterday with clients guiding out of the boat for smallmouth bass.  The fishing was really really good.  Water temperature was 69 degrees in the early am and rose to 71 degrees by midday.  Water clarity was excellent and there was little if any wind.  Lots of folks on the water yesterday, but it did not effect the fishing in any way.  We fished top water initially with marginal success.  We did have one 18'" plus bass take a top water popper that was awesome to watch. The fish came under the surface lure and swirled around and as the lure was moved away it absolutely exploded on it.  Too bad we lost it.  Anywho, we started casting 4" Senkos on red hooks and we landed almost 40 fish.  We caught smallmouths from 8" to 17".  The fish were holding everywhere they should be. Big rock points produced numerous fish.  The feed was on.  We landed one 16" bass that coughed up breakfast including a giant tadpole that was still alive and swam off.  Looks like some hot humid weather for the next few days so pay attention to water temperatures and watch for thunderstorms.  Remember to clean your gear and keep the non-native species.  Have Fun, Willy
