Macsimus Posted April 17, 2017 Posted April 17, 2017 Had a wonderful afternoon on the water yesterday with my youngest son. We fished from 12:00 - 6:00. Caught 52 from 12"-18". 13 keepers. 45 were smallies. Water temps 62-65. Vast majority came on the Ned. A few came on a tx-rigged baby brush hog and a few on a swimbait late in the day swimming it past submerged cedars. All came from 16' or less and procreation is in full swing. Didn't have any wind to fight and I didn't break anything on the boat. Every once in awhile, it all comes together. marcus, Royal Blue, Sore Thumbs and 16 others 19 "There was a time that I didn't fish, but I cannot remember it."
dtrs5kprs Posted April 17, 2017 Posted April 17, 2017 Wondered where you went. Leave my backup fish alone, lol.
Macsimus Posted April 17, 2017 Author Posted April 17, 2017 And here I thought I was well out of your range. Been having some non-fishing type guests down lately. It's been stressful. Good therapy session yesterday. dtrs5kprs 1 "There was a time that I didn't fish, but I cannot remember it."
m&m Posted April 17, 2017 Posted April 17, 2017 Macsimus, you certainly nailed them. Nice pictures. Thanks for the report. Mike

Even a caveman could've caught 'em. I had numerous bites where the little one never even hit the bottom and the line just took off. I do love it when they compete for my bait.

marcus Posted April 17, 2017 Posted April 17, 2017 I think at this point any lure in your tackle box will work...nice report Macsimus 1
dblades Posted April 17, 2017 Posted April 17, 2017 Great day, don't think I've ever caught 45 smallmouth on a trip. Macsimus 1
