Hey guys how's it going. So I have decided that I am officially stumped. I just moved to Idaho from North Carolina and I have been previously Smallmouth fishing all my life in local bodies of water that I'm very comfortable and familiar with and Smallmouth fishing is by far my favorite type of fishing. Upon moving to Idaho I found out that I was very close to a very good Smallmouth fishery I don't know if you any of you are familiar with it but it's CJ strike in Southern Idaho. I have been probably been out three or four trips now throwing all my normal stuff light tubes, grubs ,jerkbaits and cranks. But can't really catch em like I'm used to only three or four each trip if I even catch any. The water is slightly merky and has a high crawfish population from what I heard. I don't think it's the Baits im using I think it's not being able to find the fish I'm not sure if they've spawned already but I've heard from locals that they don't spawn until later in the year here but I'm not completely sure the water temperature varies from 60 all the way up to 68 or 69 but the majority of the fish that I see on the sonar are out about 30 yards from the bank and suspended in about 25-30 feet of water. Was just going to see if anyone had any advice or knew of anything that I should try or different areas or what should be my next step in figuring these fish out ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated !
