My Best Smallie

[mhall]

You guys are missing some fantastic fishing coming soon.

I'm not, I've got a bunch of good brownies in the boat before any F-N-F stuff ever starts. Guys TEE makes a good point, you do not have to fish the F-N-F in winter to catch smallmouth there are ALOT of other ways. I had an almost 20lb sack last year at the end of January on a 1/2 oz hairjig with a 3 inch grub on it. Tricked out jerkbaits, jigs, crankbaits and even topwater at times will get some big smallmouth when it's COLD. I've got nothing against that buggy whip pole and that teeny fly but it's not the only way believe me. Tee you can bet I'm getting ready for Oct and November, yee ha.

biggw,

I don't recognize the name. How old is the guy. I'm 24, but if he's older I've got some family that would know him if he's been there long.

I hope that I can catch some as well before that fnf bite comes around. I'm going to KY lake the first weekend in Oct. and I always seem to get a couple of smallies that time of year.
