I put in at 7:00 and fished to 2:00. Picked up smallies until about 10:30, then it got tougher. Used a clousers crayfish, tried a popper, only got bluegills on it.
Funny thing I have discovered for the last couple weeks or so is that the Smallies do not seem that interested in the traditional poppers. Its kind of strange because I still see the Damsel Flies in the blue and yellow flora all over the places I haunt. What they are slamming with a vengeance is those tiny Bluegill poppers in the yellow and blue variety. Normally I have to at least work the popper a bit before they take, but these guys are not even waiting for that with the small poppers. As soon as it hits the water I can see 3-4 big guys rush it, then they sit under it for a couple seconds like they are trying to decide whose turn it is, then one of them rises up and slams it like it was his last meal. I mean its not just a nose up and slowly slurp it in kind of take, its a full on grab and run. Its great! I don't even have to worry about setting the hook. The one thing you can always count on from a Smally is a damn strong fight. Best fighting fish I know. Trout have nothing on these guys.
