MuskyJerk, I like your tri-fecta on the smallmouth lures, light tackle on them bronzeback's is top notch! Thanks alot for your willingness to share your information. How was the water level on the river last week? If the Alleghenies are as deprived of rain like here in NJ, it's most likely gettin a bit low. Regarding targeting the muskies I think I may just take a back seat to that until I am a little more prepared. I am always equipt with pliars, lipping tools, ect. but I am not here to put any fish in harm by any means, strictly catch and release on just about all the fishing that I do. One more thing if yall don't mind, is the tackle shop still open and have they destroyed the dam downtown yet. Last I heard they was talk on the shop closing and the same with the dam. Thanks.
