Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted September 30, 2010 Root Admin Share Posted September 30, 2010 Without reading the recent reports (I may be repeating what others are saying), I've heard from very good sources that the smallmouth are gorging themselves in the dam area. Cranks and other fall time baits (I don't want to give away one lure because I don't have permission). Big smallies and lots of them. Regular smallmouth banks. Fish spitting up crawdads when reeled in. Recent reports- as recent as yesterday mid day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spinnaker Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 I was down last week for 6 days and had the best luck ever for me. Had about 4 or 5 in the 17 inch range, the rest anywhere from 8 to 14 inches in general. I caught a few of them on a crank but most on the jig and trailer. Fished places I had not previously fished. I lost so many jigs on hangups but had pretty good luck overall. I am hoping the trend continues through the end of the month as I want to come down the last week of October.

Tfsh4bass Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Didn't make it to midnight as my stomach decided it wanted some Jill's BBQ around 7:30 so I decided 7 hours was enough today. Man they were biting when I first got there. I didn't post a report the other day but I got on some back of the creek fish...so I decided to follow up on that and found a good pod of them in the back of my first stop. The first 3 hours I was there I caught 13 with 7 keepers including 5 good keepers off 1 little secondary point WAY back there. After that flurry I just picked one off here in there with most of them being smallish but did catch a couple good brownies main lake as the sun was setting. For those who like to do it my last 2 trips I have caught 12 keepers off the very last secondary point in the backs of creeks...some good ones too. Caught everything today burning one of my blades and throwing a shallow crawdad crank. I don't have an orange sticker but I run a 2004 Triton TR 186 DC with the White/Black/Red color scheme...fish by myself a lot this time of year because my friends are hunters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
