Monday gave us southerly winds and 80 degrees; Tuesday gave us northerly winds and 40 degrees (and snow); Wednesday, Thursday and Friday continued with the northerly but slightly warmer.
We had a few 21″ smallmouth this week but very many 17 to 20″. Obviously, we couldn’t finesse fish much this week we stayed with the cold and windy weather baits. They worked!
Having experienced fishermen on board this week made a rough weather week a very good smallmouth week. Mike and George from southern Indiana had cold weather for three of their four day trip. Once we developed the pattern they put some really nice smallmouth in the boat.
Next week will allow more and more fish to crawl on the beds. Stay tuned.
