For years I've ragged on Smithville. (Birddogs54 called me out on it and rightfully so) so we decided to buy the year pass and attempt to learn the lake. I have to be honest and admit that I never really put in the time to learn a lot about it; whenever I went it was short fish and it just got old, so I stopped going there. HOWEVER, lately as you can see by Josh's photo, we have had VERY good days. I can't believe the quality of the fish we caught today. So, I have to admit that I was wr.......wro...I was incorrect about the lake. I think the cost of the year pass was well worth it and look forward to learning as much as I can about the lake. A great day on the water with my friend and caught great fish to boot. Don't get much better than that!! (I caught most of those)

Nice mess of fish! Can I ask what area were you in? Iv'e been fishing W bridges often and it's been tough. It seems like I'm only able to catch them far out and deep. Thanks!

Nice job guys!! Smithville's looking good this year, and watch out for that red boat Jack.

not knowing a lake can be tricky and frustrating. took us more years than I care to admit to learn how to fish my home lake. but made it a point to make friends with the locals and they taught us how to be very successful there, just a lil different.

WTG by sticking with it and learning how to getrdone. Nice catch./

Somebody ought to check the temperature in hell--methinks a cold front moved through!?! Never thought I'd see the day!

Way to go, Josh and Jack!
