Lower Meramac report 10-5

[Justin92297]

fished the lower mac this morning in the Eureka area and finally came back with something to report about.  Ended up with three smallies, two spots, and a buffalo. Biggest was a smallie probably around 16-17 inches but didn't get an official length.  Caught em on the Ned rig and a crankbait.  Fish were in the slower current

I think I saw you from the highway. I was thinking it would be a nice day to be walking the river. Glad someone was out there catching a few.

I've been humbled my last 3 trips down there.  Glad u did well.

How did that buffalo fight in comparison to the bass?

How did that buffalo fight in comparison to the bass?

the buffalo was much more dead weight but made some amazing runs when it got closer to shore.  Thought I had a monster when I first hooked it

Fished the same spot again Sunday and only caught one little smallie.  Also fished further down stream near valley park with nothing to show for it.  I have fished the Meramac more than ever this year and still haven't found a reliable pattern. Every spot I fish has produced but it seems like the fish don't stay there or at least only feed for a short period of time unlike any other river I have fished.  It's challenging to say the least but keeps me coming back
