In contact

Hi Folks, Spent all of yesterday chasing smallmouth bass with spin gear.  I guided from the boat in the morning and from a canoe in the afternoon.  All around really good fishing day with lots of smallmouth being landed.  It rained all morning and then cleared with a beautiful afternoon.  I was on two different lakes from morning to afternoon and the water temperature ranged from 75 degrees to 79 degrees.  A slight northwest breeze but not enough to impact fishing.  We caught fish of all sizes classes yesterday from 4" up to 16".  The top water bite was slow in the morning but pretty good at dusk.  The incredible edible Senko on a red hook was magic yesterday.  We found fish in deeper water off fast dropping rock faces and deeper flats that were littered with wood.  Pretty interesting how many times yesterday we had a bass take the Senko on the drop.  Right after being cast and as it was sinking the smallmouth would pick it up.  Really important when fishing soft plastics to manage your line and be in contact with the lure.  You always need to feel it and be able to watch the movement of the line.  Man, smallmouth are just strong fish and fun to catch.  I be bet between my two trips yesterday we saw well over 30 fish.  I am off to chase bass all day today morning and night.  Looks like some rain and maybe a cool down.  Remember to clean your gear and keep the non-native species at home.  Have

fun, Willy
