Springs No Longer A Premium

I would imagine I've caught 20 inch plus smallies in every month of the year...but I have NOT caught them in every month of the year in the same stream sections.

You're exactly right again.

BTW, Did you ever think about sharing your "stream report card" that you produced for the MSA members with the OAF? or are there too many secrets?

20 1/2" caught during the last week of June 2008 or June 2009.... I haven't fished for smallies past October though and usually don't start up again until late march. I need someone with a Jet to show me the winter deal

TN is the place to go for nice smallies. Buffalo River usually gives up a 3 lb smallie on each trip. Pickwick Lake was slow this weekend, but I did manage to land one smallie that was 20. Fish were pre spawn and hitting tube jigs pretty good. All were caught in about 10' of water around the bluffs.

I used to fish MO and Ark for the smallies, but then it got too crowded and my fishing buddy moved to TN. About the same drive from my place to his as it was to the good spots in the Ozarks.
