Seth Clarkson Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Caught 13, mainly small largemouth and some Kentuckys with 2 15'' keepers, one was either a Smallmouth or meanmouth and the other a kentucky. Sun poked out a couple times and it warmed up, but most of the time was overcast and windy, with a few short rain showers. Got them all on a Canada Craw colored EZ Tube. Didn't really have a pattern, but caught them all in 2 to 10ft of water either on a main lake ledge, point, or up to midway back in a pocket. Didn't catch anything in the back of the coves. My dad also picked up 1 decent looking walleye on an Alright with white crappie jigs. Did see a few busting fish midway back in one coves but wasn't able to get anything to them while it was happening.

I wasn't sure since I'm not familiar with the smallmouth looks in that area. How can you tell for sure? I didn't think to check for a tongue patch.

navery Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 I'm not a big bass fisherman, but I would call that a smallmouth. I attached a pic of a smallmouth that my wife caught below powersite a few years ago. Only could find a black and white version, but it still shows the markings.

Seth Clarkson Posted April 23, 2018 Author Share Posted April 23, 2018 Navery, I'm not really sure what smallmouth typically look like in that area so I wasn't sure. I'm not used to catching many smallmouth and the ones I have caught in this area never had the vertical stripes. I know they do in other areas, but I'm just used to the almost straight bronze look. Regardless both of these fish are beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
