Recent Smallie Trip
Went on a day trip for Smallmouth Bass with Captain Maury Hatch yesterday. This time the fishin' and catchin' were both good. All top water (using poppers by Ben Bing). Using a 5 wt rod with poppers, we each had many opportunities to hook up on top. Maury only missed a few while I missed a bunch thru not focusing on the take. I hooked a couple of the larger models but they came unbuttoned; exciting!! Missed some, most were typical river Smallies. They really fight for their size, loads of fun.... Didn't get enough, I'm going again on the 6th of September.
If you get a chance to go with Maury for a day or two, you'll really enjoy it. Good fishing' and good company....
