singingdog Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 Got out yesterday on a lake that I have been trying to figure out for awhile. All I can say is "thank goodness for sonar!" It took about 1.5 hours to find them, but when I did, they were hitting. They were suspended in open water, just off a steep drop-off that went form 10-15' deep fairly quickly. Heavy football jigs, deep jerkbaits, slowrolled spinnerbaits, and tailspins all failed to produce fish, but a wacky-jigged 4" senko started producing. The hits were very subtle, making me wonder how many fish I missed before I figured out the "feel". 52 degrees and about 15' of visibility. I had about 7 fish in the next hour, then I had to leave. These 2 were typical: scrappy 15-16" fish that pulled like they were twice this size. This was the biggest - and my best smallie of the year: 20.5 and deep. Gotta love those colours!

Guest Johnny Bass Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Very nice Smallies. Some times it takes hours and hours to figure them out. But once you do, the action is steady. Thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
