Quillback Posted January 2 Posted January 2 Fished with Dutch today, we launched at 0900 with the forecast for the temps not getting above freezing until then and we fished until about 3 PM. It never got very warm and we had a bit of a breeze, cold day. The fishing was good however, we caught 29 smallmouth between the two of us. Dutch got one that went 2.5 lbs. for our biggest, most were in the 13-17 inch range. 1/2 Zinkers on 1/16 oz heads were our best baits, and the fish were in 10-20 FOW, on steep rocky banks, for the most part. We also got a couple on Keitechs. Terrierman, grizwilson, bfishn and 5 others 7 1

Dutch Posted January 3 Posted January 3 Thanks for the trip. The 49° water, clouds, and 5-10 mph wind kept us from sweating for sure. I did get a good butt waxing and I thought I was pretty good with a Ned. Quillback 1
AR Huzgr Posted January 3 Posted January 3 Nice outing! I haven't been on that end of lake for a while but maybe should try for some brown fish. I have a few weeks before I head south for warmer weather for a bit. I bet you had the lake to yourself! Quillback 1
