smallmouth bass

Hunts Along Bay 7.11.20

~ James Skinner

Took the boat out of 4 bears down to Hunts Along bay today for the first time looking for smallies. Did not find many of them, 3 total on the day, but did catch a lot of 12-16 inch walleye in 9 to 12 ft of water on spinners and worms. Also lots of small pike. Water was stained but not bad. It was also a large fishing tourney today where they did catch bigger fish so just gotta find them.

We kept 6 of those smaller eyes, along with a drum, 2 white bass, 1 smallmouth, 2 perch.

Father’s Day! Went to Van hook this time and fished the northern most part of the arm and the west side. Learned some things,caught some fish, including 3 catfish on rattletraps! Biggest was a pike at 10 lbs.

Water was not as clear as I thought it would be and the river portion we drove over looked pretty muddy too but I’m not sure.
