Dale is producing nice small mouth as winter approaches

Very nice size on those fish. We went yesterday and only caught 10 but didnt have any live bait, everything was on a jig. We didnt have any really big smallies, 19 1/2" was our best

The people I had out didn't have any big fish, fishing for 3 days, but some of the other guides had a few over 20 during the outings .
I have yet to see more 20 plus than the 19 s, still early.......here's hoping

Most of our smallies were in the 17" range and actually a little slim, hopefully theyll be putting on their feed bags before winter. Im heading back down there saturday, hoping to get some live bait and increase our numbers when the sun gets high. Im pretty sure i saw you on the dock while i was loading my boat saturday

Went yesterday and wound up with 24 fish. 20 sm, 3lm, and a ky. We only had 2 smallies smaller than 17" but none over 20". Very good overall size though. We caught a few on live bait but most came on a jig. By 11am we just had to fish where we could get out of the wind a little. Most all fish came on gravel do nothing banks. The fish seem strong this year, ive never had my butt whipped by more 18" smallies on a jig. We did hear the eeriest bunch of coyotes in the state dock that ive ever heard just before daylight. There were a bunch of them and it sounded like they were right on top of the hill killing something
