Whitespinnerbait and I been hunting smallies the past couple of weekends and must say, they are putting on the feed bag Hight light of our last trip, got myself a PB of nickel status for my efforts 20" inches long and 5Lbs even Trip prior to this, took selfies of the bigger specimens
Like the title says... they are schooled up but on a scattered pattern.... and hungry We had to work hard to find them but once located, it was a blast
Sand flats around weed patches near drop offs and submerged stumps was the ticket, anywhere from 6' to 15' fow.... they were willing to chump on a variety of lures like: white spinnerbait, white Big'O, 7" white shad rigged texas style and Yum Crawbug on a Stand Up Alien Head jig and Thunderstick
Surface lures was not producing much to my surprise but Paul did get a few on Chugbug & Spook. All fish released to be fought another day. Now enough of the jibber jabber and onto the pictures... FISH ON and enjoy
Personal best - 5Lbs even - 20" long
