We Went Wading Again

[Smalliebigs]

After the sucess we had the other day on a Ozark creek we thought we would try another. We tried another creek further from St. Louis but still only a little over an hour away. The smallies were hitting and it was blast, plus I'm saving money on gas for the boat. The pattern we were catching them on was different than last week. Last week was soft plastics this time we were hammering them on topwater, Torpedo's and Sammy's.Oh, how I love to catch smallies on topwater, we caught 19 smallies,7 largemouth and 6 goggleye.The creeks seem to be hot right now, i need to get back into my creek freak mode. I personally think recent rains this area, where it was parched before has turned them on a bit.

Nice! Wish I could get out as much as you do. What are you doing to those photos to make them so blurry? Try this: Go to imageshack and upload them on the "message board" size, then copy the "direct link" here. Use the little icon below the sizes arrow in the tool box..."Insert image"

Sorry, I had just drank a bottle of Pinot Noir before I posted this, I thought I was in General Angling discussion.I posted there as well if you want to see better pics. This is obviously not Elk River, it's a small creek that runs into the Mississippi in St Genevieve county. Cricket, What up??? I like your style. I fish 6 pound fluorocarbon on the creeks and 8 pound on the rivers.I catch plenty of nice smallies on 6 pound, look at some of my post.

Like this one caught on 6 pound test
