Smithville Saturday

[billd2626]

Hit ole' Smitty with a friend today. We found a few .. maybe 14 keepers between the two of us and nothing bigger than 11". We never could figure out a pattern .. they seemed very scattered. We'd catch 2 or 3 in one spot, then it would die. Tried sailboat cove, across from the W ramp, just south of the W bridge, the dam and several other spots. No hot spots and the only place that was completely dead was the dam. Black/chart seemed to work best and there wasn't a depth that worked consistently. I know it's not much help, but it's pretty rare that I can give a report, so I figured I'd pass it along. Might try some bank fishing tomorrow.

Still a nice day on the water. 14 isnt a bad day at all!!!

Wish I could've gotten out, but the Skeeter is fixed and ready at least. I'd like to go tomorrow, but have a Packer vs Queefs party at my place that I guess I gotta be here for!!!!!! Next week it's on!!! Go Pack Go!!!!

I can only echo what you said billd....I tried several spots...some the same as you, and found some fairly shallow, some really deep, but very scattered. Took home a good mess of fish, but most were in the 10 1/2 - 11" range with one 12.

there scattered on cb docks also.you'll catch 2 in a slip and have to move to the next slip catch 2 and so on.not many keepers.
