Gonna fish tomorrow

[stlfisher]

Made it down to Huzzah conservation area today.  I arrived later than I hoped and left earlier than I hoped. Fished downstream from the bridge. Only caught 3 smallies, but did catch my personal best on a jig. Went just shy of 18.  Pretty water.  I had planned to fish upstream in the afternoon,  but lightening and rain got in the way. Looked like great habitat. Headed back toward home and fished Kingston after the rain cleared. That was brutal...one little largemouth.  All in all a good day, but needed more time to get dialed in. Threw jigs, swimming flukes, grubs, and a spook. Been about 8 years since I WTD so i was moderately impressed with myself. Lol. Gonna need a shorter creek rod to WTD. My 7 footer... way to big.

I absolutely love the huzzah in May...some of the best smallmouth fishing there is.After that i let the party folks have it

Yeah, I couldn't imagine the weekends...not to bad today but definately traffic. I watch about 6 consecutive floaters run a ground on the same tree in the middle of the river. It was easily spotted about 50 yards away and not much current. Reminded of that scene from Austin Powers when he is yelling for the steam roller to stop 50 yards away. 

Anyway pretty stream...need more time to fish!!

I've found that if you fish huzzah on a weekend it's best to go early Sunday mornings and peel out of there around noon-1pm. Most of the party crowd are leaving or are sleeping off a crazy night.
