Super User A-Jay Posted May 12, 2009 Super User Posted May 12, 2009 Despite sunny bluebird skies, pretty gusty northwest winds and temps well below freezing last night, I went out anyway. I am REALLY glad I did. After landing several respectable fish from a main lake deep spawning flat, I found this fat lady tucked way in the back of a cove on the extreme south end of the lake, 10 minutes before sunset. She hit a jig in 3ft of water and made my day. Rapala digital scale read 5.2 lbs. Life is Good. A-Jay Quote

Super User A-Jay Posted May 25, 2009 Author Super User Posted May 25, 2009 Thanks guys. I appreciate it, and my better half gets the credit for the photo. This past week SMB fishing continues to be very good up here. After this holiday weekend I expect these fish will pull their usual disappearing act and drop back to deeper water and I'll breakout the drop Shot rig. I know it's early but I am already tied of skiers, yahoo's pulling tubes and jet ski's. There, I said it ~ and I feel a little better. A-Jay Quote
CWeb Canada Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 Great photo. I can see that shoreline over your shoulder producing more on the topwater. The laydowns and such must make for nice morning action!? CWeb Quote

The laydowns and such must make for nice morning action!? CWeb Thanks - The topwater bite is good - I'm very partial to a Rapala subwalk. And yes -- laydowns are like smallie goldmines especially in spring and fall. A-Jay Quote
