TFF Update

[Don Pemble]

Thursday greeted my guest and I with a light south wind and clear sky's, and also a pretty good bite. Using Reeves weedless jigs tipped with large fatheads, we started out working submerged stumps and laid down wood in 8 feet of water and found the eyes scattered and on the small side with the exception of one hefty one. We then worked some shallow rocky areas and we boated a good number of smallies, all released and a few jigs bit off by pike. As the cloud cover thickened and the winds picked up, we moved into 4 feet of water with lots of weeds mixed with plenty of wood, we found the walleye, crappie, and pike on a very good bite, but these fish were all caught using slip bobbers with light jigs and 1/2 piece of crawler. Here, we ended up catching several eyes with 5 nice chunky ones along with a half dozen pike, 32 inches was the largest and 7 big crappie.

Next trip on Saturday, will keep you posted.

Have you seen signs that the smallmouth are on their nests?

Not yet, the smallies are in and out like the weather is up and down.
