pool 8 is high and fast but the water is not all that dirty..clean enough for the smallies apparently. Thanks to slydog for the tip at the landing..we were going to target backwater largemouth, but after hearing about his day, we changed plans and smoked a bunch of smallies instead. My dad got the best of a new PB brown one at 19″ just shy of 4 lbs. He had a limit of probably 12-13 lbs while mine was just a wimpy 10 or so. I could have had 15 lbs if it wasn’t for 2 toads coming off…but there are no excuses, i just plain screwed up still a good day on the water, and the debris was not too terrible..the only problems I had were leaves everywhere once you get in the backwaters..good luck
