NO smallies on jerkbait/cranks or jigs. water with mild stain to clear depending where in the creeks i was. temps from 49-54. really thought i would have had a better bite but it was not to be. saw prob 10 other boats out today. anyone else posting that was out today? HHKY was also fishing and when i left he had one largemouth. won't be out for another month due to other committments. good luck to all.
Hey UYKY,
We were down there thurs. also. We caught 6 with 5 being smallies and one spot. Nothing big, biggest 18 in, we caught ours on jerkbaits too. No jig bites, but I had one nice fish get off on a shakey head and my partner broke off on a shakey head bite. I had heard that they were killing 'em there but it was a different day. All in all, just a pretty day to fish, but not a good fish catching day. They'll get hot again before they bed (smallies) buddy of mine last year was killing 'em in April- he caught a 7 punder in the BFL and was absolutely salyin' the week before the tourney. Water temps then were mid-upper 50's.
