hjsmyth Posted March 25, 2012 Posted March 25, 2012 Hi everyone first day this year to my favorite river. I normally fish from kayak but today only had 2 hours so I went to spot on shore. I have in past gotten my personal best smallmouth which weighted in at 6.4oz from this river. Today I know I got much larger fish did not have scale and was fishing by myself but I did take some picts. I used my iPhone to take picts just starting to use for recording my trips since I release all fish. I pulled all fish from one deep hole leading into large stream running under the road. They were feed on skinners and at first I thought they were carp because of their large size. I got a mix of males and females I believe bulking up for spawn. Here are some picts any suggestions by fellow fisherman about how to get good photos when you are by yourself. I got a total of 12 bass from hole what a way to start the season. Quote
hjsmyth Posted March 25, 2012 Author Posted March 25, 2012 I was using large spinner bait. Also was using oversize pike skinners no with no weight. It was funny that I was catching fish about 8 feet from shore and at one point I could see that they were feeding on large school of minnows coming out of creek. Went out today spinner bait only for about 1hour and got 8 more smallmouths and one northern Pike. I caught two of smallmouth were even larger. I will post some picts later. 1 Quote
