I love the smallie action, especially top-water. I use a Baby Bass 1 minus and it gets hit hard. Nice smallie!

Heck yeah! I'm in North Colchester.

Snow has dampened my spirits but looks like a good fishing weekend!

Thanks for the comments everyone!

Beautiful smallies! Congrats!

GRiver reply : 

got to love those smallies

WanderLust reply : 

Indeed. I have recently discovered the senko worm and I got to say catching many more smallies. More Pics to come.

I got three at lunch in 45 minutes on a 5 inch watermelon with black flake.

On another note also learning about line twist with worm fishing. Very annoying. Using a small ball bearing swivel to counter act that now.

WanderLust reply : 

Just got into tube fishing as well. Smallies have been inhaling them.

---

WanderLust reply : 

This is the best smallie I've ever caught. Didn't have a scale.

Destroyed a 3.5" Yum Tube (June Bug)

WanderLust reply : 

Nice fish!!!

I rock some pretty hurting tan lines as well. Been fishin weightless senkos and tubes lately.

Where do you normally fish?

Here's on from Allen Point:

WanderLust reply : 

and another one from this evening.

WanderLust reply : 

Tubes, jigs and senkos been killing smallies for me lately!

On Friday my sons and I caught 17 smallies on weightless t-rigged senkos, tubes and jigs. Over half of them were 2 pounds+; so much fun.

Thanks birdy. Been having some great luck lately. We have temps in the high 90's now though so my SMB run has probably come to an end.

Here's another though:

WanderLust reply : 

They are still biting! Heat index has been 103 here lately. Every fish I've caught lately has been just after dark or sitting in a deep hole.

---

WanderLust reply : 

Had a great weekend of fishing recently... Look at this pig that my 7 year bagged!!! He caught this one on a Strike King #5 in Sexy Shad.
