BillM Posted July 1, 2014 Report Posted July 1, 2014 (edited) Got out on opening day with the oldman, then Sunday with my buddy Doug. Slower start each morning, but once the fish turned on it was pretty much non-stop all day. Perfect weather, great company lots and lots of big fat smallies! These fish were crushing spinnerbaits, once hooked it was time to get airborn! Extremely hard fighting fish, they just didn't want to give up.

BillM Posted July 1, 2014 Author Report Posted July 1, 2014 Anytime man, those chicken sandwiches were killer
kickingfrog Posted July 1, 2014 Report Posted July 1, 2014 Good on ya. I've been hibernating for 4 days. My perfect weather is 10 degrees cooler and way less humid.
BillM Posted July 1, 2014 Author Report Posted July 1, 2014 (edited) Good on ya. I've been hibernating for 4 days. My perfect weather is 10 degrees cooler and way less humid. We fished from maybe 7am-12pm then that was it. No way I was staying out there in that hot and humid weather. Edited July 1, 2014 by BillM
Steve Posted July 1, 2014 Report Posted July 1, 2014 bone crushing smallies. if I was to only pick one presentation (after top water) to hit smallies it would be a burned spinnerbait.... i like the nichols pulsator double willow leaf 3/4 ounce .... they burn and never turn. great stuff!!
kickingfrog Posted July 1, 2014 Report Posted July 1, 2014 Always want them on top but rarely is a spinnerbait the second option for me. It has nothing to do with effectiveness, just preference and habit. Growing up fishing bass in open, rocky lakes if the topwaters weren't working crankbaits or jigs would. Just have to have one tied on to start the day off and go to it when the bass won't come up.
misfish Posted July 1, 2014 Report Posted July 1, 2014 Thats some sweet fish there fellas. Now that the Simcoe smallies have down their late spawn,it will be time to attack them.
workwear Posted July 2, 2014 Report Posted July 2, 2014 nothing beats fighting smallies!!!! awwwsome sho there bill how many feet of water were you fishing in??
BillM Posted July 2, 2014 Author Report Posted July 2, 2014 nothing beats fighting smallies!!!! awwwsome sho there bill how many feet of water were you fishing in?? We caught them from 2ft to 12ft. Mostly off the edges dropping into deeper water.
Moosebunk Posted July 2, 2014 Report Posted July 2, 2014 Crisp pics of nice smallies. Frank from the witness protection program stealing a little bronze too.

BillM Posted July 3, 2014 Author Report Posted July 3, 2014 Thanks Mike, I could have used that underwater housing of yours. Nice clear water would have made for some cool shots.
