I would not overlook Saginaw Bay in Michigan. Excellent fall fishing. We got two that broke 7lbs last fall and alot of 6lbers.

What do you guys think about these rod? If anyone is using them let me know what you think. Thanks ahead of time.

Dwight... Did you weight the one on the left? Very nice fish. I noticed the small mark on the one on the left. We had alot of those similar marks on ours also. Great catch!! What is your biggest from over there?

I tried one in a store the other day and noticed a little "slop" I guess you could say in the anti-reverse. Anyone elese notice this or is it just the reel I tried. I will say I tried another one and it was the same. May be different with line on the spool? I can tell you as far as anti-reverse goes the Daiwa Sol seemed seemed alot better. I love how lite the Cores are. I was just disappointed in the play of the handle.

Those fish are all from Saginaw Bay ( Lake Huron) in Michigan. I could not believe the size that we were catching. I lived in NC since I was 12 and Had to drive 2 hrs. to either the New River or Lake James to catch smallies. I moved to Michigan 5 years ago and started walleye fishing. I decided to try and find some bass last fall and couldn't believe what I found. I can not wait till open water gets here. I will say this... no exaggeration... We have caught over 60 to 70 fish over 5lbs, 30 to 40 over 6.0 but only 2 hitting the 7 mark. They are very wide but short and fat. HUBCAPS! 20 In fish is usually 6lbor over and 21's are 7.0 and over. If that gives you any idea. If anyone is interested in coming up I will be glad to share some info.

I have got a few from last fall. My buddies both caught their personal best. 7.0 and a 7.0 I caught a few nice ones myself. Fishing was fantastic. My buddies 7.0. and this is him with the same fish! Here's the other 7.0 And here is a couple of 5.5's And 6.8 and 6.6

No complaints here!!

I cant wait to hear also.

I love the new bio tubes from Big Bite Baits.

Those New river fish are awesome... true trophies!!!

Hey guys.. I use to live in Winston Salem and I use to make that 2 hr drive to the New River and also fished Lake James as much as I could. There are a couple of places at Lake James that have boat rentals. Lqake James is one of my favorite Lakes I have ever fished on. Early spring you can load the boat but in the summer I didnt fish until dark. Beatiful place. Ive heard of people fishing the upper Yadkin River for them but I have never tried it. The scenery on Lake James and also the New River is hard to beat. Now I live in Michigan and I have a river within 500 yards of my house that is unbelievable for smallmouth. Best day on record I caught 88 in 8hrs of fishing and 12 of those were over 18 inches.
