We fished from ~7:30a - 12:30p. Got nothing! It was a sunny, clear day, which can make it tough. But I'm still just stunned that there was nothing at all. oh well, still had a good time ;-)

Ugh! Sorry Choporoz, glad you made it back ok. Appreciate the help as always. Will let you know how we fare. Weather looks decent, but perhaps a little chilly at dawn. Planning to start with some search baits (spooks, chatter, and spinner), then prob work our way down to jigs and the ol' reliable senko.

Anyone fish Fountainhead lately? I'm gonna head there this weekend and rent a jon boat. Curious how the fishing is now that the temps have cooled off. Thanks!

Ditto! I fish franklin farm with my brother a lot, mainly because it's convenient. fishing is usually pretty poor there, and anything larger than 2lb is hook smart. any spots that arent so heavily pressured?

Floated the south fork on Saturday with my brother (started 7mi south of low water bridge). Got 26 smallmouth between the two of us, most of the biting came in the afternoon with the cloud cover. The overwhelming majority were on weightless wacky rigged senkos. They loved the baby bass color, we burned through a whole bag (with o-rings!). Also took a few on the pumpkin w/ black flk, as well as carolina rigged crawdad plastics. they were biting hard after rapids, in the middle of the river, probably under grass waiting for baitfish. cant wait to go back. tight lines!

Hi all I'm renting a canoe from Downriver Canoe Co. on Saturday, looking for LM and smallies with my bro. We plan to fish trip #3 - Burners Bottom (http://www.downriver.com/canoe-trips/). Has anyone ever done this one, or have any advice? We're looking to fish for the majority of the day, so I'm not sure but we may want a longer trip distance-wise. Any advice on locations or lures? I've read good things about spooks in the morning and evening. Also, we're loaded up on senkos, plan to fish plenty of wacky and texas rigs, maybe some drop shot flukes as well (w/ JJ's magic of course). Appreciate the help! Boomer
