1st time out in 2010 for smallies in Northern VT. Surface water temps were warmer than I thought..44 degrees and 46 by end of day. Usually still ice on the lakes most years! Anyways, caught 6-8 chunks in between testing everything out on the boat and finding some new spots. Biggest fish were 4.3 and 4.5 - awesome colors though and these fish fought hard. Back at it in two weeks - enjoy the report!
Nothing like a new wax on the boat
After 1/2 hour of nothing - I started communicating with the fish gods :bs:
Then they came - all off rocky shoals in 8-18 feet of water
Absolute chunks
My two best... just clean fish...
Best producer...
Also worked...
Haven't changed the hooks out yet... but still produced
