I'll be getting out this Sunday for my first trip out with the boat. I'll be hitting my usual west side lakes for some smallies. I'll post my results later Sunday or Monday. On a side note, I brought a few lures with me to Florida over spring break to use with a rental rod around the marina where we stayed. Caught a few small ones and had a snook smash my bait next to the dock but didn't get hooked up. I was using a bait that I've had for years & never used, a Rapala Twitchin Rap. I really liked the subtle shimmy, almost senko-like  motion on the fall. Decided I didn't want to lose the lure to any of those Florida saltwater fish so put it back in my box with plans to order more when I got back home. Little did I know that Rapala discontinued the bait. Can't believe I've had that lure for at least 6-8 years and never used it. Oh well, it will get some play time this year.

That will be better than nothing! Good luck.

Help stop invasive spcies. Don't move fish between unconnected bodies of water. Clean, drain and dry your boat before launching on another water body.

Finally got out for the season. Water temp was 54 and relatively clear. Caught a dozen smallies and 6 pike. Nothing big, biggest went 3 pounds. Caught them on beavers, lipless crank, jig, and jerk bait. Beautiful day and with this warm weather I'm sure a bunch of guys had some great action today.

My partner and I went to Clair this past Saturday. Water temp was 52 and stained. We caught 40 smallies best 5 went close to 24 pounds. Many 4 pound fish with a few 5 pounders. Nothing smaller than 3 pounds. All on cranks in 8 foot of water.

Hey robhj - where did you fish Sunday? Got out on White Lake for a few hours with my brothers but didn't have the same luck as you! Still trying to figure out how we got blanked.
