6 days on the water in a row and the pattern is still holding

The trip started out normal but I looked away and I Zigged when I should've Zagged and I spiked a wave lol at least I had my rain coat on but the rest of me was soaked, even had an audience lol. Here are a few from last night and there were a bunch more but I didn't take pictures of them I'm looking to get a 5.44/20.5" or bigger to help with my on line Tourney. Same deal as the last few nights small Jigs and small Plastics getting it done. 3 were over 5 lbs they are getting fat, football season has officially started.

If you don't like Smallmouth fishing you likely never targeted them in the fall and it's not fall yet

This was an AWESOME NIGHT after working 8 hours I thought I'm going fishing, after yesterday I think I have lots of time for a successful evening on the water and this was in less than 2 hours, the feeding Friendzy is starting. Small jigs with small plastics on 4 & 6 lb test leaders in very clear water.

I really needed this even for just an hour or so.

Things were pretty quiet until I made a move and in just over an hour I caught these and lost a couple others about the same size and then it was time to head home and have a late supper. Sometimes you just have to cast out and bring it in really slowly, small jigs small plastic in really clear water.

A solo trip for 2.5 hours was so worth it

Started out throwing lots of search baits but they wanted a Flipp'n Jig and a Muscle Back Chunk, I was hoping to get them going on a Buzzbait but that never happened but they sure hit the jig hard. They all came from the outside weed lines in 8 to 15' only had a couple hours and it was worth the trip.

Hit the lake up Saturday at 2pm for a 4pm Birthday Boys trip

I moved around to about 6 spots in the 2 hours catching a few Panfish and making a few cast for some Bass as well, checking the weeds and water temperature was around 71 - 72 and there was a pretty good breeze coming out of the south so I was concentrating on the north shore mostly, small jigs with plastic for the panfish and buzzbaits for the bass I wanted to cover water quickly and see if there was anything in the shallow water.

Bonnie and I made it out for a few hours the other afternoon/evening for a multi-species trip

We headed out about 1 and fished until about 7:20 and had a pretty good multi-species day catching Panfish, Crappie, Bluegills, Pumpkinseed, Perch and a few Largemouth Bass on a variety of techniques. Small Jigs with plastics and a bit of scent always helps, BlackFly Lures Hex Blade Spinnerbaits Flipp'n Jigs with X Zone Lures MuscleBack Craw THE ROD GLOVE helped protect our rods and Liquid Mayhem LLC Anice Craw, Leech and Shrimp scents helped to make them commit and hang on long enough to get the hooks in them.
