Schooled up on a Scattered Pattern - PB SMB - Nickel Status


Leecher

Recommended Posts

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

Them Bronze Backs would put you into some big money Summer tourneys. Nice goin'.

 

TJ, I have a golf buddy that can be your older twin, right down to the tooth gap, shades and Red/Black shirt, eerie actually. If you want to know what you will look like in a few years just grey the beard.

TJ & WSP killed it!

Wow guys! Great fish! Looks like almost all those are 4lbs plus (in my perverted mind)!

Awesome report and congrats on the PB "jock"

Thanks Rick!!! You are not hallucinating.... those are 4+ smallies you see they were stacked up on sand flats along drop offs

It is Hawg Smallie season here on Erie. Nothing to haul in one 5 after another on a simple drop shot rig drifting a shoal drop off, 25 to 30 feet of water. If your going to get a 7 plus now's the time. The problem is getting a day where it doesn't look like the north shore of Oahu
