Smithville 5/24

Just got off the water about 7:30 -- continued my streak of catching lots and lots of little bitty fish. Couldn't get a bite on roadrunners in the coves, couldn't catch em next to the timber on jigs, glad I read Shortstorie's post from earlier and grabbed some minnows. We fished em about 2 ft under a bobber all around the coves and caught 8 or 10 short fish right on the bank, but not one keeper. Tried fishing deeper and in deeper water out from where the small ones were and couldn't get a bite--does that mean the big ones are finished?

Caught a whole bunch of little channel cats too, so that kept things interesting. Great day--beautiful weather, caught some fish so I really can't complain.

Just remember Matt a day of fishing is better than working

Sounds like all in all it was a good day to me. Think of it this way..................................you could have been out power washing the deck in the rain instead of fishing.

Don't forget to look me up when you make it to Springfield.

Take care buddy.

A poor day on the water is better than a poor day anywhere else, Matt. Come on down and fish Truman with me sometime. Maybe you can put me on some fish.
