Thread: Sinkerman, look at this smallmouth

Don, when you were talking about wanting to catch smallmouth last weekend, i told you about mille lacs lake an hour from my parents house in mn where im from with the best smallmouth fishing. This 7.6 lbs smallmouth was just caught there. Also saw the bass master elite catching consistent 5 lbs smallmouth in the tournament. Have other lakes i have caught 10 a day but not quite as large as mille lacs can produce. Enjoy.

Heres some from june when ana and i were home

Micorps those are some nice smallmouths! Thanks for sharing.

One more, thiught i had more but evidently just threw them back with no photos. Don, this would be the place of if you want to catch smallmouth.

Thanks for the pictures Tim. I want to catch 1 smallmouth just to say I have caught them. What I want to catch is walleye to eat. I do not practice catch and release I do catch and grease. Plan us a good walleye trip next year and tell me when we are leaving and what to bring. I am going to do the Stockton trip to Missouri in April to fish for crappie and walleye. Don

Don the lake i want to bring you too really only has walleye and small mouth, which is rare for mn as most lakes have a bundance of northern pike. The lakes where we caught all the fish in the photos is the lake, can use my parents camper so we dont have to traile and know of a get resort. I just hope i can make it to june without using leave, work is killing me, i would like to take three weeks just to get alot of fishing in. My parents live a rock throw from a good walleye lake, but want to fish one 30 min away that is know to produce multiple 30" walleyes in a day. Would be best if we rode together so we have multiple drivers with the boat (wife doesnt drive with trailers). Its 1400 miles to ne mn.

Micorps, you and your family have caught some beautiful smallmouths. Would be fun getting into those fish any day.
You need to check out Jocassee Lake, it has smallmouths and some great brown trout along with the other spices we have. It is a deep clear lake that can blow up fast when storms roll over the mountains but the feeder arms have some great places to see and fish. The deep places can go up to 350' deep.

350' is alot of water, i actually wasnt fishing for smallies, they were in the same place as the walleyes in june and were biting my walleye rigs, the things were pigs. Biting my leech with two crawfish they still hadnt swallowed. Livewell stunk from the walleye spitting out bait also. Alot of healthy fish in the lake. Think i will just focus on crappie and stripe this winter for noe.

I had a little extra free time today so I went out by my house and looked for brush piles. I found a few more that were loaded with fish. I hope to get out Friday morning and give them a try. I will let you know how I do. Don

Hey don't leave me out of this trip. I got fishing rod will travel too!
