heres a few photos of some smallmouth caught recently hope yall enjoy Blessings of life thankful!

Yes Del Valle has some good smallies my best there was just over 3.6 lb on a walk the dog reaction innovations vixen bone white red gill was great for topwater jerkbaits get them as well and yes hair jigs spoons blade baits i know a guy i used to see trolling all the time with panther martin spinners those actually work pretty well but the panthers never get any size there Also a lv500 or jackall DN70 I got 2 7+lbers lake pardee ca, thats where the state record is Yes And Yes!

so i have heard trout also get darker pigmentations after a fight and the stress involved makes sense super happy your son landed a mondo smalley! Congrats that one should have him hooked for life

Its east of the bay area i no longer live in the bay i live in the sierra's good question i like anything natural like blacks brn/orange also craw colors and baitfish colors Ea fishery is a little different for example i know a sm lake that the hot color is red. Also pumpkin baby bass colors work bluegill colors no its not big bear ! best fishing is upper bear res get a boat all your gear for camping and hike in.

Lakes are low its rough but look at this one Bronzeback !! This one was so fat and the girth omg,,,,,, heres a spot i got 2 weeks ago! Another Good Smallie Always wonder why some are so bright and others are darker pigmentation??

Well heres my point there is a time and place where almost anything will work that time is spring and initial post spawn. Can you get some fish sure but brands do matter let me tell you that tacklewarehouse is your best place to start 20% off everything black friday. Full price for anything should be avoided at all cost so brands do not matter so if i have a lv500 and you throw a bill lewis rat l trap whos gonna do better in the long run. umm why pay that price i can get those 1$ a bag all day in bulk online and 20% off black friday tackle warehouse

I like to fish what is working a little different ea season but more a less the same as the years before i log where i catch when color lure ect I do my best to elimintate what i call dead water to find the sweet spots on each body of water i will say i like small baits as well as larger baits but go bigger in NOV-MAY after that medium size baits mostly and some smaller ones, One bite at a time ea fish is a piece to the puzzle!

love me some SMallies so i am sharing some i got this yr!!!

whats a watermark? Pics are ok as long as no logos and names right?

I see nothing like that

My name is paul zimmer and i live to fish ! Its a 24/7 FISH,Sleep&Repeat Love to Break all the Rules & i make my own tackle so by break the rules i refer to not being confined by fishing say a crankbait the most common way i love to alter and change my lures to create a unique action of its own sometimes simple sometimes more complicated but in the end i like to fish very unconventionally i have read so many books and i can tell you that history tells us there are many styles of fishing the masses of people are fishing a certain way with certain baits i do my best to avoid that entirely and focus on BIG BASS by using methods most would consider to aggressive or not aggressive enough. So far my PB is 14.3 and i have 11 DD bass and 17 5lb+ Smallmouth so far PB smallie 7.52 Spent so much time learning how to use lures and learning ecosytems of my local lakes to realize how much it matters. In the end time on the water is valuable but only is used wisely! I am excited to see all this group has to offer as my fishing addiction must be fed multiple times Daily! Always Down to talk Fishing with anyone! Would consider fishing with yall just message me, FEEDTHEPASSION

TIGHT LINES !
