Nice mix of fish

Hi Folks, Ran the boat yesterday with guest chasing smallmouth bass.  I had the pleasure having one of the two anglers on the boat catch their first fish of their life.  The surface temperature was 72 degrees and it was hot sunny day.  Very little wind.  We mixed up our presentations from poppers, to a craw fish pattern deep diving crank bait, to finesse fishing with 5" Senkos.  Not a lot of love on the surface, but the largest fish of the day did take the crank bait off the top prior to it being retrieved.  I set up the boat in 20' to 35' of water and we cast into the deep drop offs from the shore line.  The crank bait landed smallmouth, rock bass, fall fish, and rainbow trout.  The incredible edible Senko worked its usual magic on the smallmouth.  We landed well over a dozen fish.  Off to chase bass again this morning.  Going to be another hot day so get out on the water early.  Remember to clean your gear and keep the non-native species at home.  Have Fun, Willy
