Smithville 2/20

[basscatman]

The old man and I hit the docks for about four hours Saturday. Did much better than we anticipated. We ended up with 18. We had had three 11" and several over 10". Very light bite to say the least! Shad colored lures were the ticket

I think if you fish at the "docks" you may have better luck

When are you planning on coming down ? Sooner or later if you asking is your boat is big enough the answer is yes .

[basscatman]

Your boat would be just fine. I would probably avoid the main lake in the middle of summer but that's about it

Lots of small boats use Smithville, altho I'm sure you know the dangers of high winds. Here is a map of the lake with access points. The ramps on the main lake are pay ramps, and the access points are free. There is a bridge at the red star, and another if you follow that road to the North and West. All areas to the North and Northeast of those bridges is still full of standing timber, so boat traffic is not bad. There are plenty of areas for small boats to fish and get out of the wind and still be very safe.

You did better than most that Saturday. I was hitting Little Platte marin slips hard Sat. Tried other parts of the lake, but the marina was the only place I could get any action. BTW- how deep were you fishing? I got most mine around 8' under a slip bobber-minnows.
