fishboy Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 I managed to get out on Wednesday to play with the smallies. With the cool nights (down to under 50 degrees where we are) the water temps were down below 70. Topwater, lipless cranks and dropshot soft plastic minnows all produced fish-nothing gigantic but some decent 18 & 19 inchers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmer Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Sweet! Always nice to get into the smallies no matter what size they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jigger Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Noticed last weekend that the bigger fish that were missing in July have started to show up. Nice fish fb! You out there this weekend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod Caster Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 I fished some Haliburton smallies for the first time last week and also quite well. A few 4 pounders and I was a happy man. All caught using 4" grubs with jig heads, very slow retrieve, lots of pauses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jigger Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Yup, got out for about 2hrs this aft. Non stop the whole time! Biggest was creeping on 20". Just got a txt from a buddy across the way downrigging and doubleheaded a laker and a 4lb smallie. Theyre hitting great right now! Cant wait for the evening bite!
