The smallies were hitting tubes, 5/16 jigs with craw chunk, and swimming smoke grubs. Also note that on this trip 100 % flurocarbon dominated co-polmer lines. The first day it didnt seem to make a difference but on Saturday the bass were either seeing the co-polmer or the flurocarbon was working the bait different. I'm not a big fan of vanish but i did'nt catch a bass till i switched!

Wow, that is a heck of a float. How long did it take you? Just wondering.

Well, we started fri 3 p.m. fished till 7 in the evening, started sat around 8 and floated till 6 in the evening and we was only a mile or so from galena when we camped. We fished real slow but when we paddled the river was moving out id say around 15 to 17 hrs total on the river!
