Three out of four days we were able to fish where we wanted. Big fish along with very good numbers is what we found. The wind is still our biggest obstacle.
The presentation had to be perfect, but when it was, we were rewarded. 5.26 was biggest but a couple that may have surpassed that fish didn’t make it to the boat.
The bed-fishing tourists have come and gone. It is now just a handful of boats in many miles of smallmouth waters. There are no “dog days of summer” on the big water.
